I enjoyed the scenic views from my room, especially overlooking Miyajima Island and the famous Torii gate, even if it was under renovation during my visit. The hotel had some lovely amenities, like a nice onsen, but service left a bit to be desired.

Dining was a letdown-options were limited with only a traditional Japanese restaurant open during my stay. I found the food to be quite lacking and the atmosphere less than inviting, especially with multiple restaurants closed.

Facilities

Facilities included a decent onsen and a lovely balcony, but some areas seemed old and tired. I appreciated the organization around the sunset cruise to the Torii gate, although it wasn't really good.
