Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"Clean and comfortable bed. Very convenient close to the station. "

"It was my 50th birthday treat with my parents. They both likes the hotel and enjoyed the stay. My mum thinks she would bring her friends next time. "

"When is a resort not a resort? In this case, when it doesn't provide any facilities outside the room. There's a rooftop bar in summer but nothing at other times. Staff were pleasant but breakfast was limited and when we asked for a second cup of coffee we had to pay for it. The room is large but was taken up by 4 double futons and a massive hanging screen for projecting TV/video. We felt it was intended for a large group who wanted to watch DVDs all day. The cost would have been fine split 8 ways if all beds were full but for us as a couple it was pretty extortionate. Also, no fault of the hotel, but out of season the town is dead in the evenings and only half alive during the day. We booked and paid for 4 nights but left after 2 on the grounds that it's only money and life is too short...."

"An amazing places to relax and enjoy the views. The interior was something else! "

"It was fantastic to stay in such a beautiful old home. The rokms are bright in the moring due to not having blinds, but i assume that is in keeping with the historic nafire of the house. It is still well worth staying in this place!"

"great staff, perfect location for the start or end of Shinamami Kaido, and rooms are comfortable a clean. Amenities perfect"

"Hotel was nice and clean, and the staff were professional and helpful. The hotel is a little isolated, being some distance from Onimichi station and the city center, but there is a free shuttle to the station."
