Good location next to the harbor and the active part of the city good breakfast and friendly staff

The mattress in the room was not really comfortable compared to other hotels, I think it was both old and not good. So my partner and I both experienced back pain after sleeping in it. The coupon system: instead of providing per default the towel changes, room cleaning you have a very weird system of coupon to exchange against services! And we received coupons on our 3rd day so I prefer classic hotel service. The Parking lot, we have to give our car keys to reception eqch time we park in the hotel parking which is also not very convenient as we each time need to wait to get back our keys whenever we want to have access to our rental car. Poor sound isolation

Location good, about 10 min walk from Ferry’s and Restaurants. Family Mart just around the corner. They offer many free drinks in the lounge: Sake (afternoons), sparkling water, tea… Room somewhat larger than for instance APAhotels! And….USBcharger next to your bed. Also, enough poweroutlets. Free luggage storage before and after check out and help will calling a taxi <3. Sweet staff! Arigato Goizamasu! Tip: 1) avoid the buses as most as you can! Free bikes are awesome! Maesato beach is about 25 min by bike (belongs to a hotel but day guests are welcome, just follow the signs on the property). Tip 2) Put your laundry in the machine when you go for breakfast, in the afternoon the machines are usually occupied. Tip 3) Taxi to airport is about 3500 yen Tip 4) Definitely take the ferry to Taketomi and rent a bike there Tip 5) if you go to Kabira Bay and use Google Maps: dont put in 'Kabira Bay' as your destination because you will end up in the middle of nowhere. Use 'Kabira Observation Point' or 'Kabira Park'. The last one is also the name of the busstop.

Only thing I can think of is offer late check out or showers for people who have checked out already but that is just a wish from a spoiled traveler 😊

Cozy hotel with a lot of interesting effort to engage its guests: you can fill out the questionnaire about local knowledge and/or to tick items which don't need to be changed in your room, to win points for exchanging small souvenirs at the front desk. Free herbal tea (a good range of selections), coffee and even aroma oil burner sets available for free rental. I didn't rent the bicycles but they seem to be available too. Breakfast is basic but enough to kick start the day. I also like how my room has a balcony where I can wash and dry my swimsuit.

Cleaning was not thoroughly done on the second morning, which could've been improved.

Everything! Feels homy with kind staffs. Everything is thoughtful. Telephone by the elevator that directly connects to a taxi company. So many herbal tea to choose and bring to the room. Soda water beer andI heard there is even Awamori service time. Sunlotion and body cream in the room. Full amenities and extra. Versatile breakfast. Education wise, they have quiz sheet for us to learn about Ishigaki, also a language tree for us to learn and write and add on a tree. My friend broke her sandals and the staff fixed them, too. I have been in my life so many hôtels. Patina is one of the best! Professional but Warm, and homy and lots of thoughts into the place! Highly recommended.

Very conveniently located, only 10 mins walk from the Bus Terminal or Ferry terminal at the Port. Buffet breakfast each morning was exceptional. The staff were so helpful. I came back with wet shoes when it rained all day, and they offered me a little device which helped dry my shoes. They actively encourage using less water & electricity which is good for the environment. You can earn points & use the points for lovely little items at reception.

Nothing to mention.

Staff was amazing, always kind and willing to help. We got stuck indoor because of a typhoon and they made all they could to make the stay still pleasant. Plus, the hotel provided a lot of amenities for free and different giveaways - including drinks. Breakfast was also very good.

Perhaps the A/C could be placed in a different spot in the bedroom as the airflow gets right in your face when you are sleeping

Very good value for the money. The location was great if you don't have a car. It was close to the bus and ferry terminal and short walk to the more happening area of the town. The staff was very friendly. Free use of the laundry machines was a great bonus. The hotel is old and simple, but cozy and clean. We will most likely chose Patina again if we'll ever go back to the wonderful Ishigaki.

The bathroom was a little small and the bed was too hard for our liking.

A little outside of the center but still easy to reach the main junction, shopping road and ferry terminal. Very good were also the very inexpensive laundromats/dryers and the free bar which is currently used to determine what kind of bar they want to set up in future.

Our bed was very small for a double. It was indicated in the description but still much smaller than expected. On the plus side, it was possible to get another bed in the very same room (although not very spacious).

Tasty breakfast, both sauer and sweet. Free washing machines, and environmental commitment: you can chose not to get all your towels and sheet exchanged and get cool gifts! Mini bar service is also great value added.

Pillows are a little small and too soft for my taste. I prefer one big solid pillow over two small ones.

Location was very close to downtown and there's a family mart right outside, laundry access was clutch, staff were helpful and friendly and started remembering us, breakfast was yum, and we really appreciated the afternoon/evening drinks- we didn't have to buy as much at the convenience store.

The bed was very hard. I'm not used to hard planks so my back ached every morning.
