Comfortable/delightful setting. Resort setting with amenities even 5 star do not provide! Coffee tea special teas, awamori shochu happy hour, breakfast every morning, sparkling water, purified water, scented candles, washing machine, direct call taxi telephone, free bike rentals, and more water pressure with hot water than even Ritz Carlton in the shower! Yes it’s a bit worn, but it puts the Patina in the hotel….i stayed 1 week, would stay the whole summer in season, plus sandals, shirts, and trousers…. Plus many restaurants nearby, convenience store 50 feet away, and 5 minute walk to ferry’s!

Nothing!

Good location next to the harbor and the active part of the city good breakfast and friendly staff

The mattress in the room was not really comfortable compared to other hotels, I think it was both old and not good. So my partner and I both experienced back pain after sleeping in it. The coupon system: instead of providing per default the towel changes, room cleaning you have a very weird system of coupon to exchange against services! And we received coupons on our 3rd day so I prefer classic hotel service. The Parking lot, we have to give our car keys to reception eqch time we park in the hotel parking which is also not very convenient as we each time need to wait to get back our keys whenever we want to have access to our rental car. Poor sound isolation

Location good, about 10 min walk from Ferry’s and Restaurants. Family Mart just around the corner. They offer many free drinks in the lounge: Sake (afternoons), sparkling water, tea… Room somewhat larger than for instance APAhotels! And….USBcharger next to your bed. Also, enough poweroutlets. Free luggage storage before and after check out and help will calling a taxi <3. Sweet staff! Arigato Goizamasu! Tip: 1) avoid the buses as most as you can! Free bikes are awesome! Maesato beach is about 25 min by bike (belongs to a hotel but day guests are welcome, just follow the signs on the property). Tip 2) Put your laundry in the machine when you go for breakfast, in the afternoon the machines are usually occupied. Tip 3) Taxi to airport is about 3500 yen Tip 4) Definitely take the ferry to Taketomi and rent a bike there Tip 5) if you go to Kabira Bay and use Google Maps: dont put in 'Kabira Bay' as your destination because you will end up in the middle of nowhere. Use 'Kabira Observation Point' or 'Kabira Park'. The last one is also the name of the busstop.

Only thing I can think of is offer late check out or showers for people who have checked out already but that is just a wish from a spoiled traveler 😊

Very sweet place, extremely friendly and helpful staff, comfortable, clean, quiet rooms, simple, but very carefully prepared and good breakfast buffet, which changed a little from day to day, with some local style dishes, as well as miso soup, rice, bread, etc. Coffee and tea availalble all day. Free bicycles avaiable up to 5 hours. Less than 10 minute walk to ferry and bus terminals, as well as the market, center of city. All at a very good price point.

Cozy hotel with a lot of interesting effort to engage its guests: you can fill out the questionnaire about local knowledge and/or to tick items which don't need to be changed in your room, to win points for exchanging small souvenirs at the front desk. Free herbal tea (a good range of selections), coffee and even aroma oil burner sets available for free rental. I didn't rent the bicycles but they seem to be available too. Breakfast is basic but enough to kick start the day. I also like how my room has a balcony where I can wash and dry my swimsuit.

Cleaning was not thoroughly done on the second morning, which could've been improved.

Everything! Feels homy with kind staffs. Everything is thoughtful. Telephone by the elevator that directly connects to a taxi company. So many herbal tea to choose and bring to the room. Soda water beer andI heard there is even Awamori service time. Sunlotion and body cream in the room. Full amenities and extra. Versatile breakfast. Education wise, they have quiz sheet for us to learn about Ishigaki, also a language tree for us to learn and write and add on a tree. My friend broke her sandals and the staff fixed them, too. I have been in my life so many hôtels. Patina is one of the best! Professional but Warm, and homy and lots of thoughts into the place! Highly recommended.

1. Quite close to the ferry pier: around 10 mins’ walk 2. A convenience store nearby at the corner 3. Wooden floor instead of carpet floor - personally think that’s cleaner 4. Can accumulate bonus points if cleaning is not required. The points can be used to redeem gifts at the front desk. 5. Breakfast included 6. Free bike renting (I haven’t used it though)

1. No public bath 2. Staff members speak little English but they tried their best to communicate.

Very conveniently located, only 10 mins walk from the Bus Terminal or Ferry terminal at the Port. Buffet breakfast each morning was exceptional. The staff were so helpful. I came back with wet shoes when it rained all day, and they offered me a little device which helped dry my shoes. They actively encourage using less water & electricity which is good for the environment. You can earn points & use the points for lovely little items at reception.

Nothing to mention.

Great location close to everything you need. Amazing breakfast and other amenities (free bike rental, free drinks...). Very friendly staff members. Drying rack on the balcony was very useful after a beach day.

Double bed quite small, but was indicated when booking. Just make sure you select the right room type for you.

Staff was amazing, always kind and willing to help. We got stuck indoor because of a typhoon and they made all they could to make the stay still pleasant. Plus, the hotel provided a lot of amenities for free and different giveaways - including drinks. Breakfast was also very good.

Perhaps the A/C could be placed in a different spot in the bedroom as the airflow gets right in your face when you are sleeping
