HOTEL385

We stayed at this Hotel in the downtown area so we could visit a folk-music izakaya. It was our first time on Miyakojima and we didn’t know the area, but the izakaya we had reserved was right across the street. It was also a very convenient location, within walking distance of Miyako Shrine, Hirara de Ice (which we wanted to visit), souvenir shops, and convenience stores.The Room was spacious and clean, but with three people staying, the bedroom ends up filled with three beds, and you have to step over the beds to reach the dresser. For three women sharing, it may be a little inconvenient when doing makeup. I thought it would be nice to have a foldable mirror for makeup (it would also help when checking the back while curling hair). Having a washer and dryer (free of charge) in the Room was very helpful. The fabric softener smelled great too—our middle-school-aged son loved it. I also really liked the makeup remover and face wash; were they available for purchase?For breakfast, we could eat at the café or take it back to our Room. One family member said they didn’t need breakfast and kept sleeping, but thanks to your kind offer that we could take theirs back as well, we did—and it was so delicious they finished it right away. We had planned to snack our way through lunch later in the day, but breakfast was just the right amount with a great balance of flavors—truly delicious. We’d definitely stay again!

The location is excellent for dining out or going for drinks.The design is so cute I couldn’t help but exclaim. The Hotel staff kept the perfect distance—not too close, not too far—and responded very politely to any questions, which made me feel comfortable. Breakfast was included (it seems to alternate between taco rice and a pork-and-egg rice ball; I had the pork-and-egg rice ball). It was very filling. You can eat it there, but it seemed many guests chose takeout. There were also plain salted rice balls available for anyone who needed more.Overall, a very clean, cute, and kind Hotel—plus a great location. I was really satisfied, like I’d found a hidden gem.If I had to ask for one thing, it would be having a washing machine in each Room... but having even just a mini kitchen and microwave already feels like a luxury.There are washing machines in the Hotel.
