Suminoe Ryokan - Onomichi

Navigating those long hallways can be a real maze!!! The men's bath closure was disappointing, limiting options for relaxation. A warning sign for the water temperature would be helpful to avoid any surprises!!!

We met very kind employees.

The room was fairly quiet and cosy with a soft bed and with private toilet. Great and stunning location, we were short walk to cycle route, the ferry terminal and ferries. You can find Yo around 4-6 minutes' walk from the hotel to a have lunch.

Lovely location, near Slipstream Sculpture. Good bed in the japanese-style room, plus a kettle, central heating, and a television with satellite channels.

Charming ryokan with authentic Japanese experience and delicious meals. Pillows were hard, making it tough to sleep.

Well-appointed ryokan with a beautiful garden.

The pillows were uncomfortable. The shared shower and onsen bath were a bit of a trek from the rooms and inconvenient, especially after a long day of biking. The entrance closing at 10 PM made it tricky to navigate if you were out late, frustrating.

The location offers fine views of the sea. The traditional Japanese garden in the courtyard adds a magical touch for quiet moments. I appreciated the inclusion of slippers and yukatas which enhanced the authentic experience.

The shared open-plan shower is a bit of a trek from the rooms, which might be inconvenient for some.

Good hideaway, ideal if you appreciate personalized service and fine sea views from your room.

Our family had a fantastic stay, especially enjoying the spacious room with a gorgeous sea view and our own toilet. The onsen was a perfect end to our long bike ride, and we also loved the tranquil garden for relaxation. Just a heads up, make sure to keep track of your shoes, as the entrance closes after 10 PM! 😊

Suminoe ryokan is in a fantastic spot just steps from central setoda, right on the water. My room had a beautiful garden view, and the staff was super nice and helpful. The traditional breakfast was delicious and worth every bite!

Charming ryokan with fine views

This place was such a gem! I loved waking up to the sunrise over the water from my room, amazing. The staff was super helpful, even bringing me a fitting yukata. I had the onsen all to myself, perfect after a long day of biking. I totally recommend the traditional breakfast, sooo good! Just be aware that finding your way through the long hallways can be a bit tricky.

The Japanese-Style Standard Room with Shared Bathroom and Garden View was quite spacious and comfy. I loved the futon bedding and the traditional feel. The view of the sea through the wooden slatted window was a total highlight. The shared bathroom situation was a little inconvenient, but the room itself made up for it. The onsen was a nice bonus after a long day. A very cozy experience!

great hospitality , but the layout is confusing.

The staff were helpful, offering assistance as soon as we arrived, much appreciated after our long journey. The traditional breakfast showcased seasonal ingredients, beautifully plated and explained by the staff. I was particularly fond of the garden view from my room. It provided a serene environment for relaxation.

Navigating the hotel's long hallways can be a bit tricky.

We had a very special stay at this traditional hotel. the location right on the Inland Sea was magnificent and beautiful. It was a short walk to the Setoda port, making it easy to access ferries for Onomichi and other destinations, as well as different areas and local shops.

The rooms are spacious and each has its own private toilet, which is a nice touch.

Stunningly beautiful hotel with lovely view over the ocean. Friendly personnel. Lots of brilliant food at breakfast time. Marvellous location in Ikuchi Island district near Setoda port. Conveniently located near the ferry pier and the Shimanami Kaido cycle route.
