Smile Hotel Miyakojima

good breakfasts room is nice for plice👍

My wife and I stayed two nights. "Resort" seems to be a misnomer. It's just a 10-floor building with rooms. And our room on the eighth floor was just plain -- nothing, no painting, no photograph, on the walls. More unsettling, the outside of the windows was very dirty; it looked as if they hadn't been cleaned in months, so we felt like we were in a cave. And the shower curtain had a lot of visible mold; it needs to be replaced. Customers complete check-in by scanning a QR code on a tablet; we received our code via email a few days before we arrived. But again, there is no "resort" feeling, no welcome at all. You just walk in and a sign on a wall tells to scan your code as if you are staying in a dormitory. Also, please note there are two buildings, an A and B; make sure you go to the correct building. There seemed to be a small cafe near the entrance, but we didn't use it. And on this visit to Miyako, we got by without a rental car, so I cannot comment on the parking. Generally, I don't like to leave negative comments, but we certainly won't be returning to this "resort." On the one positive side, the hotel is right in the middle of the city, so you can walk to all of the restaurants and coffee shops. A cab to the airport cost us 1500 yen and took about 10 minutes.

Easy reservation, check in/out, and plenty to do near the hotel.

We stay here every year and always have a great time. They are really close to a Family Mart and lots of Izakayas. Will be back again next year!

Facilities were good overall we did notice a little bit of mold in our room which sometimes in a human environment like this cannot be avoided the staff worked hard and they use technology such as iPads and QR codes to do everything which is very convenient they also have a big storage area for drying Scuba gear
