The hotel is ideally located to use as a base for airport, ferry terminal, town center. It is not somewhere to stay to just relax all day at the hotel, but if you want a well located base with good connections to do different things each day as I did, this hotel is ideal. The staff are very helpful indeed with providing information and making reservations for you. This was much appreciated as it made easy work of travelling around the various nearby islands and getting to eat in the best/most interesting resturants. This would have been much more difficult unless you speak Japanese, but the help provided by the hotel made achieving all this effortless.
