Ishigakijima Hotel Olive Ishigaki

Review by hotel critic

Hotel Olive Ishigakijima is a gem on Ishigaki Island, offering a convenient location near the ferry and surrounded by tempting dining options. Immerse yourself in the traditional Japanese experience by sleeping on tatami floors with cozy futon bedding in the Japanese-style room. The property provides storage for diving gear, perfect for adventurers exploring the underwater wonders of Ishigaki. Don't miss the chance to pamper yourself after a day of diving in the private bathroom with a relaxing bathtub and shower attachment. As a seasoned traveler, I appreciated the coin-operated laundry facilities, ideal for those on extended journeys. Starting your day with a simple, yet satisfying breakfast of toast and coffee sets the tone for exploring the nearby islands easily accessible from the hotel.While English may not be widely spoken, the warm hospitality of the staff, especially the hostess, shines through. Their attention to detail, from free toiletries to a shared refrigerator, ensures a comfortable stay. I especially liked the view of the harbor from my room.I highly recommend Ishigakijima Hotel Olive for its authenticity, value for money, and proximity to both transportation hubs and local attractions. Whether traveling solo or with companions, this charming hotel embodies the essence of Japanese hospitality, making it a memorable stay for any discerning traveler.
