Miyajima Coral Hotel

Little English spoken but the Reception staff were very proficient in the use of a translator app so checking in went smoothly. Room was larger than average with a comfortable bed and good aircon. Not the most up-to-date bathroom but perfectly adequate. A good selection of Japanese and Western food was available for breakfast, taken in the ground floor cafe. You can't get much closer to the ferry terminal. There are several restaurants close to the hotel but all very busy except for an Italian. We wanted Japanese so opted for the hotel's second floor restaurant which proved a wise decision as we had an excellent meal.

This hotel is not on Miyajima Island, but is next to the ferry terminal. The crossing is quick and, as we only planned to spend a few hours on the Island, it was not an issue for us but it might be if you plan to explore the Island more extensively. The hotel frontage looks more like a shop and the name (in English) is near the top of the building so not that visible from street level. We twice walked round the building, using Google maps, before spotting the sign!

The hotel is located right next to the ferry pier-seriously, just steps away. The hotel itself isn't special but it really is a great value, given the location. They were happy to keep my luggage before and after checkout, so I was able to spend time on Miyajima until sunset and go back for sunrise. While the room wasn't especially memorable, the facility was clean and the staff was friendly.

The breakfast wasn't great, but it was included, so I am not complaining at all. I had to pick a certain time for the breakfast, but that was understandable given the number of people staying there.

- excellent location! Right across from the island; with your JR pass you can keep going to the island from sunrise to sunset. - accommodating staff; first time I see staff with genuine creativity for problem solving. - ok & generous breakfast; general menu with lots of selections but you’ll get the same menu.

- a public bath overlooking the sea would have been perfect for this location. - you can detect small hint of cigarette smell due to smoking rooms in common areas. But this is the case with most Japanese hotels unless the establishment is truly non-smoking. I look forward to the day when indoor smoking is banned in Japan. - it’s aged but still functional.

The room was big for Japan measures, breakfasts were great, tea bags, bath salts, etc. at the reception, kind personal and the place was great - a minute to ferry to Itsukishima shrine. Also it was pretty close from the JR station Miyajimaguchi - cca 5 mins of walking.

My wife didn't like the pillow, but it was good for me :-) Maybe the bed could be bigger, but it was still quite good.

great location, kind and professional staff who were patient despite me not speaking Japanese very well. you can get a sea view for a very affordable price and the hotel has a lot of facilities such as a coin laundry. I felt very safe and comfortable staying here even as a solo female traveller.

Top location, near the train station and the ferry terminal. Clean. Good wifi. Free luggage storage. Fridge and hot water kettle in the room. Free toiletries.

Small room, small bed, and tiny bathroom. Breakfast OK, but you have to pick a time slot and you’re only allowed 30 minutes. The breakfast room can get very crowded.

Location is perfect (2 min walk to the Miyajima ferry). Kaiseki dinner was excellent and 2 servings were more than enough for 2 adults and 2 small children (4 and 5 years old). Breakfast had western and Japanese options. Staff was excellent, very nice and helpful. They even put our luggage in our room, which was a nice surprise after a day of hiking.

The food was excellent, we ate both dinner and breakfast in the cafe and both exceeded expectations. The rooms are as advertised, a bit old but clean and comfortable. The location is very convenient for the ferry and the parking was easy.

For the price, it is as would be expected.

Wonderful helpful staff. Quickly & happily sorted a minor booking error made by us. Room was quite large by comparison to most hotels we've stayed in this trip. It was clean & while showing it's age a little it was well looked after. Very convenient to both the ferry terminal & railway station.

Nice hotel close to Miyajimaguchi Train Station ( 3 minutes walking) and Miyajima Ferry station (1-minute walking :-D ). The room was nothing special, but good for staying there for two nights and discovering Miyajima, Hiroshima, and Kure. Breakfast was very good, including local dishes.
