When visiting Ishigaki, I was braced for my hotel to be a bit more basic than those on the Japanese mainland. However, once I arrived there, I was happy to find that I had underestimated this lovely little hotel. The hotel has free parking which, perhaps because I visited in low season, was always available. Once inside, I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. This hotel also has some nice touches which I did not expect: free bottled water available at reception, breakfast included (though this is very basic and I would suggest going to the patisserie across the road instead!) and in-room wifi. The condition of the room was excellent and ample for the needs of one person (it was a single room). The location is also great - being 10 mins walk from the ferry to the islands and 10 mins walk from the busier parts of town, where the restaurants/bars are located. I enjoyed my stay here and would definitely stay again.
