Vessel Hotel Ishigaki Island

Guests who stayed here loved

“I'm on a one-night stay at the Vessel Hotel Ishigaki. This is my first stay at a Vessel Hotel, but I've seen the brand here in Japan before. The hotel is near the port in Ishigaki. Check in was very good. The young woman working at check in on the 15th was among the most helpful and cheerful people I have seen at any check in during my 30 years living in Japan. She is a treasure. She got me checked in, told me where to buy snacks nearby and introduced me to the free Awamori tasting area in the reception area. The free Awamori (the local liquor) area makes this hotel special. I have never seen that before at a hotel. The room itself is quite comfortable, and spacious enough for two people. The bed is on the hard side, something I've noticed is common on the less populated Okinawan islands. My room is also quiet, something I greatly appreciate. Breakfast this morning was a nice mix of local and standard choices. Fried Spam, Goya stir fry, these are local favorites. Overall I have had an excellent stay at the Vessel Hotel Ishigaki. As I have a ferry to a neighbor island today, the hotel location near the port is perfect for me. Well done Vessel Hotel Ishigaki. I will definitely stay here again if I have the opportunity.”
