Hotel Patina Ishigakijima

Das Frühstück war toll und es gab viele Kleinigkeiten, die für den Gast super sind wie Waschmaschinen samt Waschmittel kostenlos.

Die Wände sind etwas dünn, man kann die Nachbarn hören.

Free drinks, good location , decent breakfast all at a reasonable cost .

The hotel set up is superb - great communal amenities and space, you get vouchers to spend in the shop if you don’t opt for your room to be cleaned every day which is a lovely touch and laundry services are free. The rooms are very clean and the property is very well cared for. Everything you need especially if you’re on a long holiday or travelling!

As expected from previous reviews - the rooms are quite basic and the beds are small

I liked the herbal tea offered the most, brewed in teapots. There are also free alcoholic drinks, but this is not relevant to me. On the day of arrival and departure, the staff was pleasant, although they did not speak English. The hotel also offers shoe dryers, drinking water and washing machines for free.

We chose the hotel based on good reviews and I am very surprised by such a high rating. The hotel has come up with various rules that make a vacation on the island not more comfortable, but more stressful. Breakfast until 9, but already at 8 you will not find food, for example boiled eggs, which were served at 7 in the morning. At 8:30 they start collecting food (and with bare hands), for example pancakes you have to go to the kitchen to ask for. The food has a very limited choice and practically all of it is cold. The smell is often unpleasant, especially in the elevator and in the room. I accidentally looked under the bed, and it probably hasn't been cleaned there for years. One morning I didn't fill out the sheet for changing towels, it was very unpleasant communication and unfortunately we didn't receive any bonuses, only on the day of departure maybe from the owner. We have been in Japan for three weeks and only the best reviews about hotels, but not about this one.
