Green Hill Hotel Onomichi

I was riding the Shimanami Kaido and the Green Hill Hotel proved to be an excellent place to stay for the start. First off, it’s location is perfect. It’s just across the street from the train station so it’s easy to get to and one of the two ferry crossings to Mukaishima Island where you’d start riding is right next to the hotel building. It’s within easy walking distance of multiple bicycle rental options including the Giant store and Red Bicycles, and there are numerous places to eat nearby, including the hotel’s own restaurant. Also nearby is one end of Onomichi’s quaint shopping arcade that made for a thoroughly enjoyable walk to kill time. Service was great and staff were extremely polite and helpful, as expected from Japanese hotels. Check-in was easy, as was having them arrange transport for my bags to my next hotel on Omisihima Island. For cyclists who need them there are bike hangers in the lobby to store your ride. Once in the room the hotel further impressed me. The room was decently sized for a Japanese hotel with a gorgeous view of the harbor. It was great just sitting in the armchair a bit to enjoy the scenery. The AC provided blessed relief from the heat that had been lingering up until that day I was there as did two cups of tasty citrus snacks provided for free in the room. In the morning the breakfast buffet proved to be excellent, with plenty of options to choose from including delicious seafood, as expected from a seaside hotel. I would have happily stayed another night but I had a bike ride to do but if I have the good fortune to ride the Shimanami Kaido again in the future the Green Hill Hotel will be my preferred stop in Onomichi and would recommend it without hesitation to others.

We stayed here before and after cycling the Shimanami Kaido. The hotel is ideally located for this as it is near the bike rental shop at Onomichi station and the ferry terminal for crossing to Mukaishima. Rooms were very small but clean and comfortable. Extensive and tasty buffet breakfast.

I love this hotel. It is so near the station and a short walking distance to the rental bicycle for me to kickstart my shimanami kaido cycling experience. They have an in-house restaurant as well - I enjoyed my breakfast in the morning. The view was really nice. I had a relaxing stay in this hotel

Nice big room for Japan. Was fone for my 2 day stay. Excellent location by railway station, shops and ferry. Nice view. Ok resturant, had breakfast twice, dinner once. Staff friendly and helpful.

It's a great starting point for people doing the Shimanami kaido cycling route. The location is amazing: right across the JR station, beside the ferry terminal and also has bicycle rentals shops nearby.

Fantastic staff who attended to our needs promptly during our stay! Decent room size with a pleasant view of the harbour.

Clean and very convenient location - close to the Onomichi station, just 5 min walk. Quick access to the bike rental as well if you would like to do the famous cycling route.Breakfast buffet is nice.Good Value-to-Price ratio.My only complaint is its room wifi is quite unstable and my bandwidth dropped quite often while watching Youtube.

Great place for a start point for the Shimanami Kaido cycling route. Right across from the Onomichi station and 10 mins bus ride from the shin Onomichi Shinkansen station
