Overall Ratings & Reviews 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

Miyajima is great, loved our stay in the hotel, central.

Our gps maa as p guide took us a try pound xx about way with Lis of stairs. Check the tourist map at ferry station and stick to main path past shrine, much better!

I will back the hotel again if I have chance to visit Japan again.

Unique japanese style room with western beds! Staff are very friendly and even showed us how to wear the Yukata. The multi course dinner served was really delicious.

I had a wonderful time here. Hotel was nice and clean. Room was big. Service was wonderful. There was a staff that spoke perfectly English. Great location. Nice onsen with open air bath. I love their shampoo and soap. Really nice scent.I will definitely come back.

Very nice hotel in good location. Room was on the small side, but for 1 night it wasn’t a huge deal. Very good service and very welcoming check in process. Kind of wished we’d arranged for breakfast ahead of time, as it wasn’t possible the night before.

部屋も綺麗でロケーションも良く、 何よりホテルのスタッフの方々が皆さん親切で とても快適に過ごせました。 おススメのホテルです。

locate in the center, few minutes from tourist attractions. wonderful public bath (onsen) with outside hot baths.

The service at the Miyajima Grand Hotel couldn't have been better. Shuttle bus to collect us from the ferry, bags carried to our room (which was lovely), staff on hand at all points, exceptional dinner, onsen in the building - we had such a great time! Very little to find fault with but the menu is very fish/seafood heavy so not great if you're not a fan of that!

This ryokan was so cozy and the staff was incredible. I would have given them more stars if I could have. We had a Japanese style room with private garden and a soaking tub. In the first floor of the ryokan you can find the public onsen. When you first arrive you are greeted by all the staff and check in on the second floor. Dinner and breakfast were included in the price for the room we stayed in. We were shown to our room and had tea and fruits/sweets waiting for us in the room. The hostess/geisha prepared green tea for us and asked about our dinner menu choices. Dinner was delicious with some of the freshest sashimi I have ever had. Very enjoyable stay. The hotel offers a free shuttle for its guests to and from Miyajima ferry. Also if you like to hike the trail (2.4 km and very steep with plenty of stairs) that takes you to the top of Mount Misen is just around the corner from this Ryokan.

Beautiful location, amazing room and the staff were just incredible. We contacted them ahead of time about the possibility of vegan alternatives for meals and honestly we were blown away by the level of effort they put in. The best food we had in our entire holiday by far!! They were so attentive, obliging and friendly too. Best check in experience we had all holiday, most helpful recommendations about the local area and just an all round fantastic experience. We looked at so many options including Iwaso who never even bothered to reply to our email (!) and other luxury options. I am so so glad we went with this place and delighted we were able to experience it. Without doubt we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Amazing view. Amazing hospitality. Amazing food. This place was virtually perfect to be honest.

Loved the elegance and friendly staff. Truly a Japanese travel experience. Food was awesome too! Location great to take in the Miyajima landmarks.

This is a fantastic hotel! The food is great, the rooms are great, and it was so enjoyable being able to stay right on miyajima. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

Staff went out of this way, above and beyond to make our stay great, including altering their meal plan in accordance with our dietary restrictions.

Amazing ryokan experience! Service was beyond our expectations, Room big and super comfortable, 2’ walking distance from shrine !

Expensive, but not really justified compared to other hotels we have stayed in.

Had a wonderful one night stay. The outdoor soaking tub with view of shrine was heaven, as was the dinner and breakfast. Really helpful to speak at least basic Japanese, though - the lady who showed us our room spoke no English, she was very patient and gracious, but we wouldve been lost if we didnt speak any Japanese at all. The staff at the front desk spoke more than enough english for check in/out, as did the shuttle bus driver, so dont be totally put off even if you dont speak Japanese. An unforgettable experience in an iconic location.

We enjoyed an elaborate multi-course dinner in a private setting. But the breakfast next morning was served in what looked like a convention space, and the food was poor quality. The hotel is well located. But our room, although large, was disappointing. All in all, this hotel did not live up to the very positive online reviews.
