Miyajima Grand Hotel Arimoto

Very friendly and attentive staff! Beautiful location and big traditional Japanese rooms. The onsen is very relaxing and comfortable. Especially the outside one

We stayed one night on Miyajima Island and are so pleased we did. The service is just superb from the moment you arrive until you leave. We give a very special mention to Masa who showed us to our rooms and was our waiter for the evening - excellent and friendly service from him throughout our time there. This is a very comfortable hotel - we had the Japanese room with Western beds and this was one of the best onsens we used with one indoor and two outdoor pools. Miyajima gets so busy during the day but wandering around in the evening and seeing Itsukushima Shrine lit up is so beautiful and peaceful. Definitely recommend staying overnight and definitely recommend this hotel.

We had a one night stay at the Miyajima Grand Hotel Arimoto. Our room was very modern and spacious but maintaining the traditional ryokan style. The hotel is very conveniently situated for all the site seeing spots of Miyajima. The traditional dinner and breakfast were both excellent. All the hotel staff were extremely polite and helpful.

This was one of our favorite stops on our 2 week trip to Japan. We absolutely loved the stay here. The staff are incredible, and particularly Ms. Nakajo, who helped us throughout our entire stay. We loved the location, close enough to all the sites and shopping on Miyajima, but secluded enough to feel miles away. We had a traditional room with both dinner and breakfast which was just outstanding. The public bathhouse was a welcome respite from the busy travel schedule and we truly loved all the amenities and services the hotel had to offer. Given its location near a very famous shrine you could anticipate that it felt very busy, but the pace of this location and the attentive staff was just what we were looking for. The room was very large and we had plenty of space to unwind and relax, whether that be on the tatami floors on seated in chairs at the table next to our wonderful view. They even welcomed us with a wonderful gift for our anniversary! I would absolutely recommend this location because of it's beauty, simplicity and unmatched service.

This ryokan is disappointing. After having done ryokan in Hakone, Kyoto or Koyasan which were amazing experience we were thinking having the same experience. While the dinner is relatively okay, the rest is not at the level of an hotel billing 600+ USD. The room is having stains on the carpet and pillow. Certain furniture are very old and with stains or broken. Fridge is bad state and contains only glasses sanitized. What’s the point? The bathroom does not have kit like body lotion, cream or any other kits we found in all hotel in Japan including 3 stars. Everything is done to not well please customers like you have only one towel for both the public bath and your own bathroom so it’s always wet and you mix the sweat from the sauna with the clean body after a shower The were hairs from other guests in our bathroom. No pillow offer like foam pillow. We reported this to the staff but they were unhelpful. Spending 15 minutes to explain the situation the guy came to check in the room and went to the bathroom with his non clean shoes. The only solution to all of this is two extra towels. I do not recommend this hotel for foreigners. It’s’ below standards and expectations.

Perfect location 3min from the large tori. Very large rooms. Western style: very comfy beds. The Japanese style rooms are even larger. Futons ok but quite hard (we did put an extra futon under ours. Bathroom is somewhat outdated but functional. Breakfast is very good and plentiful. Diner with a multi course menu is excellent. Staff is super friendly and helpful but has very basic knowledge of English.

We decided to stay the night in Miyajima to avoid the crowds of daytrippers to the island and so glad we stayed here. The staff were so friendly. A special thank you to Takashi Yoshimuta. The room was Western with a very spacious with a Japanese area next to it. Beds were comfy and sheets were good.

Decided to stay at this hotel because of its close proximity to Itsukushima Shrine and the Torii Gate. Wanted somewhere that I can quickly go to take sunset shots and quickly head back to the hotel, given the low temperature during evening. It was within <5 min walk. A Taiwanese lady staff managed my check-in and introduced me to my room. She also served my delicious dishes during dinner and I was relieved as I need not worry about using Japanese to communicate. Night falls and I was unfortunately down with a bad stomach flu with constant vomitting. Needed urgent assistance but had to wait till 7am before there is English/Chinese speaking staff to manage my concerns. Thankfully there was a clinic open from 9am-12pm, given that it was a Saturday. The hotel helped me to book a taxi there as I wqs too weak to walk. Before that, a male Japanese hotel staff gave me some medicine to curb my vomiting. I really appreciated these help rendered by the various hotel staff, especially when I was travelling alone. Thank you and I hope to visit again.
