Spacious room, very comfortable futon bed, clean, and friendly hosts. About a 5-minute walk from the ferry, a safe and peaceful walk to the hotel. Excellent Japanese dining at Miyama only footsteps away. We totally enjoy our stay and would stay again when we return to Miyajima.

Very Japanese and Special
It was really misleading about payment. The website said they accepted credit card but they are cash only. Thank goodness my friend had money because I did not. I’ve been trying to figure out why this would happen. There is a fireplace and a massage chair and a public bath. I wouldn’t stay here again probably.

The private bath is really relaxing.
BE AWARE : CASH ONLY. When I reserved on Expedia I didn’t pay straight away. I choose to do it at the hotel. I was supprise that I coulnd’t pay with my credit card once there. Have I known, I would have probably paid on Expedia.

The room was spacious and the couple who run the hotel are lovely. The onsen in the property was also very relaxing after a day of hiking Mt Misen. Great location, close to the shopping street yet away from the crowds of people.

Feel like home
Family hotel, where you feel like home. Traditional Japanese rooms, hyper kind service, free snacks in the morning (coffe, water, fruit, biscuits), fireplace, and relax chair in main living room. It was like visiting my parents or grandparents in my hometown. I would recommend it.

Great new year experience
We stay at Kotobuki on new year eve. I had a great stay and the hosts are very nice. They prepared the Japanese new year noodle for all guests, and told us what new year events to look for. The whole island was under festive atmosphere and we had a great time.

Nice guesthouse close to shops and restaurants.
I loved The Mijajima Hotel New Kotobuki. It was charming, clean, and spacious. Our room was very comfortable and the futons and bedding great! The room had heating, which some hotels in Japan do not. The public bath was very relaxing. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The street was just behind the main street so it was quiet. They had a common room with a large T.V. and a massage chair!!

Cash-only
The hotel was fine for our needs - 1 night stay. Our biggest frustration was that the hotel was cash-only, so we had to withdraw money in order to pay. Overall, didn't feel like great value for the money.

Friendly and modern family hotel
Well loczted in the quiet second stret back from the waterfront, the Kotobuki is a great place to stay. The owners are very friendly and keen to help out with any advice (finding a place to eat can be a small challenge some evenings). Rooms very cofortable.
Recommended.

Leave your key at the door
The hotel is well located off the main street, but ine block away from everything. It's micomanaged and all your needs are provided and accounted for. Outdated and charming place.

Peaceful
If the room want non-refundable, I would have booked a more convenient location when my plans changed slightly. I also think it is odd that a credit card secures your reservation and guarantees that non-refundablility, but they accept cash only as payment for the room...
The couple who runs the inn were great. The island is beautiful and peaceful. The room was very large and the bathroom very small. It took a couple attempts to get the air conditioning working but I was eventually successful.
