Little Mermaid Hotel Ishigakijima

Very clean with all the comfort, the staff is super nice and happy to help with everything. The position is strategic if you rent a car, not too far from the city to go out for dinner and near the main beaches. There’s also a Family Mart in 5 min by car.

Nothing

Spacious and clean rooms. A large fridge and a mirowave in the room. Balcony with a beautiful view (see below though). While the location is a bit remote, it is a good base to explore the island from if one has a rental car (absolutely required when visiting the island). Also, since it is outside of the main town, the view of the stars is breathtaking.

We would have had a great view of the ocean from our room - if it hadn't been for the tainted windows. While the fridge is convenient to have, it is also right next to the beds and sometimes very noisy at night. And since they ask you never to open the windows because of the high humidity, you don't really get to see the view. First thing we did was get rid of the countless airfresheners that gave the room a truly headache-inducing smell. Terrible pillows. While the animals are cute (the parrot and the owl in particular), we have our concerns about the way they are being kept.

清潔で使い易かった。電子レンジが部屋に合って役にたった。與邦国馬が可愛かった！

スタッフの方がとても親切で、今回宿泊したお部屋も凄く可愛くて、清潔感のある

The staff were really friendly and it was in a nice location.

There’s a mould problem here, the staff warned us on arrival and at the time we didn’t mind, but in hindsight I wish we hadn’t have stayed as all my clothes not smell of mould. The animals also seem like a gimmick, they’re usually just in small cages in the lobby.

New facility and a good view.

I read in previous comments that "due to the high humidity" there is a mold smell in the rooms. Unfortunately, in reality it was so strong that I could not stay in the hotel and had to book another place. It costed quite a lot as I booked on a very short notice. I don't think it is only humidity to blame as my new hotel was perfectly fine. Must be some kind of ventilation design fault. Lost money because it was too late to cancel Little Mermaid booking.

Spacious and clean room, also quiet location. It’s on top of the hill and had a great view of the ocean. Walking distance to Fusaki beach for swim.

N/A - apart from the restaurants in the nearby hotel, there aren’t any eateries in walking distance which I knew about so it wasn’t a problem.

The rooms are very spacious.

We were attracted by the fact that this hotel has animals and that the reviews were positive. Regarding the animals, we don’t understand the positive reviews. For example: the rabbits, they have terribly small enclosures and only have food and drink and a corner to do their business, there is nothing else in their enclosures. Same goes for the parakeets. The owl has 1 stick to sit on and is attached to a string with its leg. If you care about the welfare of animals, I do not recommend this hotel.

オーナーさんが凄く良い人でした！！ 日頃のストレスを癒すにはこのホテルは超お勧めです！！　ホテルから夕焼けの見える展望台も近いです。ホテル内から沢山の星が見えるように建屋を工夫されていたり、アメニティも充実。 パまた来年ここに宿泊したいと思います

Staff were helpful, location slightly located out of city but perfect that it’s quiet. Non issue since I already knew beforehand.

The soundproofing of the rooms were weak so when some children kept running up and down the stairs, I could hear from my room and it is quite annoying.
