Hotel Ishigaki and Chikonkiya

Very good location. It was clean and comfortable. The place is close to everything (within walking distance), restaurants, shopping areas, nightlife. The shared kitchen is very well equipped and very useful if you want to prepare and have a meal there.

The location was the highlight for us. The hotel is situated in a quiet area, with many restaurants nearby and within walking distance (around 15 minutes) to the port and bus terminal. The local market, a Family Mart location (5 minutes walk), and a public laundry (2 minutes walk) are also nearby. We loved the spacious and very comfortable room. Although the overall cleanliness was good, there were some areas where dust had accumulated and hadn't been cleaned off (this is a problem that we encounter often in hotels in Japan 😊 almost like a tradition, already). The hotel doesn’t have any staff on-site, and you can contact them via an app. For us, it was as if they were there! The staff were friendly and always ready to assist us with any requests we had and answered quickly to our messages. Even though the room is big, the only storage space is a couple of hangers in a corner, but this was not a problem for us as we never take all our clothes out of the suitcases when we travel.

The beds were very comfortable. The hotel was clean, with pretty decorations, and the location was convenient, safe, and cheap! The rooms were quiet (I did not hear other guests).

It’s very clean, quiet, well-maintained, spacious and conveniently located 8mins walk away from bus terminal. Plenty of good food/restaurant choices near by too. Keyless entry and smart check-in wasn’t as daunting as I had thought! Prompt response to my enquiries was assuring too!

It was very clean and comfortable and the bathroom was great.
