MY LODGE Naoshima

We enjoyed the location of this little hotel. We had a corner room and were disappointed to see the windows were very dirty. The hotel might consider adding some electric candles to the dinner tables to elevate the vibe as it’s pretty utilitarian. Overall, a good value for the money. 👍

The staff were courteous and very helpful. The location was great and the food in the restaurant was excellent.

Clean and comfortable rooms. Great service.

In general the stay was great but I guess, considering this accommodation standard the service could be a little better.

Stunning views with a walkable location.

Best description from someone else - fancy youth hostel. Other than not permitting shoes, this is like a European hostel with a laminate bathroom floor and walls in small capsule with two very small beds with cheap polyester bedding and pillows. If you are looking for okay (okay price) this is okay hotel but read reviews as the photos show a much smarter, cleaner hotel than it is.

It was a steep hill to climb with luggage. Taxi's were not available even though the website said you can take a taxi. The Hotel has many levels and no elevator. Given that we were fit we managed to drag our suitcases up the hill. Not very accessible for people with disabilities. We enjoyed our stay the room was minimally appointed. The aesthetics were simple & clean.

Lovely staff, clean, new

Pretty nice accommodation , helpful staff, 3 little orange cats, an ideal place to escape from civilisation

We stayed in the Peak Cottage and it was amazing! The cottage was the perfect amount of rustic charm, with the best view ever. We loved having the private sauna and the air conditioning in the cottage was nice to have for the hot nights. We wish we could stay longer! We would definitely come back. Note that to book the Peak Cottage, it’s important to be able bodied because it’s accessible by stairs only. We enjoyed seeing the local cats around outside, so charming!

Lovely stay at My Lodge. Friendly staff, great food, and nice to have electric bikes for rent on site.

Wonderful!

Beautiful location. Charming place.

The room was clean, contemporary with a great balcony and view of the bay. We love the hilltop hotel but it was a challenge for us, as senior citizens, to get there. Long 10-12 min. walk up hill from the port with three main steep stairs to move within the facility. If we were younger, not an issue.

All other things are great except the area is not convenient

Beautiful hotel and corner rooms have a view that overlooks the town out to the sea. We appreciated the chefs accommodating our cow’s milk allergy. Dinner was very good. Added bonus: the hotel is associated with Naoshima Tours (bicycle rental and luggage transport); very convenient! Would definitely recommend.

This boutique hotel has spacious well designed rooms with an excellent shower and counter space . Each room has a terrace and views of sea. It’s only a 10 minute walk from ferry terminal but steep uphill all the way. Excellent on site dinner options multi course and well prepared. Breakfast is more European than Japanese. Meat heavy . I miss the vegetable options seen at other hotels. Drip coffee rather than espresso machine. Very nice staff and mostly responsive to emails. The website for luggage delivery from port is hard to use / translation didn’t work on all spaces -and the staff wouldn’t help so I had to lug suitcase up the hill on arrival.

Good

This is a review of the Peak Cottage of My Lodge. It is very different from the main building and there has been lengthy descriptions of this cottage on the website. But they don't prepare you for the reality. For the price you pay, you get the most basic room smaller than a youth hostel. The separate bathroom has no proper door but is slatted, which means it does not stop wind or cold coming in. This maybe fine in high summer, but early spring with a cold snap? You will be on the toilet shivering. To make things worse, there is no hot water coming from the washing tap. I know about the limited shower time, but I was not prepared to wash my hands in freezing icy water every time after using the toilet. The steps they warned you about is steeper then expected, I would not suggest taking luggage more then the size of a cabin bag. I am not sure why the hotel sell this cottage at the same price as their rooms. In the cold weather it is almost uninhabitable. We did have dinner and breakfast. Food is all western, which seem to be normal on the island. Dinner was fine but breakfast was not very good. It is a weird combination of tomato soup, salad, kind of a piece of toast and kind of full English. There isn't any condiment of any kind, not even jam or honey. We loved the island and understand we have limited options of places to stay. But charging this rate for the Peak Cottage feels like we have been taking advantage of. I have since complained to both the hotel but received no

Staff is terrible, we asked about lunch they replied that they are starting to work from 6pm, we came after 6pm they replied that we don’t have reservation and they will not provide food for us, we been tier after 6h traveling, also my wife was cold, we asked transfer to some restaurant, taxi they refused us to help they said straight forward walk… outside was only 4C, my wife left w/o dinner. Also terrible access to hotel, you have to clime to steep hill will luggage, no shuttle service. Staff is like from another galaxy, manager refused to meet and talk
