Reviews of Tabist Business Ryokan Duck Ishinomaki Hebita 2 stars

The owners are lovely and attentive. The rooms are simple but clean. There is no onsen/furo, but there is a large onsen a 10-minute drive away. The rooms have a small shower, which is convenient. The price is absolutely unbeatable for a family stay. The decoration, which is made of thousands of posters, makes the place cosy and fun, compared to other traditional business hotels.

Nothing!

The staff is very nice. She does not speak English, but prepared everything she wanted to tell us and wrote it down on a paper. The rooms are very cozy and there is room service every day. There is a common room where you can warm up your food.

There is not much around. It is more to get away from everyday stress. There are some restaurants and a supermarket, where you can get your food.

We loved the decor, and the graciousness of the owners. We would return.

Not many power sockets in rooms but eecstincin corde provide

Great value for money. The host was very welcoming and we had a really nice conversation via google translate that felt like we really connected with her.

The hotel was fairly close to the station. We had to walk for only 5 minutes from the nearest bus stop. My room was spacious even though it had a single mattress on tatami floor. The facility had 24x7 hot water and the air conditioning kept me warm throughout my stay. The proprietors were super kind to drop us at the train station on a rainy day. Also, she dropped us at the ferry to Tashirojima island because we would’ve missed it if we had taken the bus!

There’s only one western toilet (commode) so you may have to wait sometimes to use it. Fortunately for us, there weren’t many other guests in the hotel so we didn’t have to wait.

This place is great! Even though it is very reasonable in price it has everything that you need and it's very clean. I like a tatami room like these better than a regular hotel room because the futon makes the room feel spacier. There's ample storage space in the cupboards and all expected amenities are provided. The shower is a large enough although for a large foreigner it might be a little cramped. The owner is amazing by the way, she's very friendly and easy to speak to and she made a great effort to use simpler japanese to match my basic speaking skills. She also looked up information for me about the ferry to Tashirojima. On the last day she even gave my a handwritten thank you note with a handmade onigiri and some sweets!

The only actual thing that was slightly annoying is that the location is not very accessible by public transport. Walking to the nearest (local) train station takes about 20 minutes on foot and from Ishinomaki station takes about 30 minutes. Oh and the toilets are shared but there's plenty so I never had to wait.

This local ryokan has real character, decorated from walls to ceiling with colourful posters and various toys of Japan, from classic to manga. The manager couple are just as nice. She had written out a welcome with basic information in Spanish for me, as my reservation shows it as country of origin. The room is comfortable, complete with towel and pyjamas, plus a water kettle and cup with teabags. If you're on foot, it's 27 min to Ishinomaki station and 18 min to Haneda station- the latter gets you the Matsushima-Kaigan.

Everything, it made me want to stay more days. Great space, remarkable atention from the host, she was very sweet. If you are a tourist you will love the walls decorations. I even think that the photos and description doesn't make justice to reality, i was expecting a more uncomfortable place and with less privacy. Thick walls and the owner even offers you a bike. The locals are just lovable, i was stopped by little kids at my arrival and they were very funny and sweet

Everything great
