Shiraishi Island, Kasaoka hotel rooms at the Independent

"Very well equipped apt., very quiet area, clean and in good condition. Much larger than a hotel room at the same price level, and very central to everything in the area. Check in is by a system like a love hotel, so very easy but do look for an email with the door codes. Location is right across from the old town area and an easy 10 min. walk from the train station. Lots of choices for restaurants and there are several supers close by and a Lawsons on the corner. Eating in is an option if you are tired of eating out and is very easy. Good way to experience how the typical Japan apt. is. "

"The room was wonderful and clean. But the pillows were very thin. You need to get softer, thicker pillows. Everything else was great. We will stay there again if we are ever back that way. "

"Staff were courteous and the room was clean and comfortable. The location is great for a visit to the historical district "

"Clean room, Great Staff, literally right next door to a convenience store. Also great amenities so would stay there again"

"A lovely room, friendly and helpful staff, and a beautiful view!"

"Great staff. Room is great. As it was a return stay from few days earlier, they had helped to have my deposited luggage ready in my room."

"Great little hotel in Onomichi with a superb view - particularly sunset and sunrise. Tip: cab it from the station. (I walked up many, many, many steep steps to get there. Learn from my mistake!)"

"I slept like a baby the moment my head hit the pillow, even in a shared women’s dorm, which says a lot about how comfortable it was. The facility is spotless, modern, and has a high-end feel. The staff is exceptionally friendly, their service top-notch, and they speak English very well. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and highly recommend it."

"All good bar the hotel guests having to check themselves in a computerised check machines. This merely confuses, delays and annoys customers in equal measure. Big rooms for a single Japanese hotel. Well thought. Good breakast. Easy to find from the JR station."
