Route Inn Grantia Aoshima Taiyokaku

The Single room is very spacious and the bed( small double)is consider big for one person. The hotel spa is superb and breakfast is sumptuous. You must try their weekend buffet, the spread and quality of food is good.  The only thing I find weird is that all guest must changed to the slipper the hotel provided to move around within the facilities. Anyway, overall experience is good.

My family and I had a good time staying at Route Inn Grantia Aoshima Taiyokaku. The hotel is located slightly outside the city centre. The room is clean, and the bedding was comfortable. However, it can be a bit strange to some as all guests must remove their footwear and change to the slipper the hotel provided. We have to wear the slipper to anywhere within the hotel facilities. Nevertheless, storage lockers are available for guests footwear. In addition, the spa/onsen is good and breakfast was sumptuous too.

My first time staying at a hotel like this. You take off your shoes at the entrance and switch to the provided slippers. They were far too small for me, so walking around felt a bit like wearing high heels. The whole place does not feel like a typical hotel. It feels more like a large manga library with rooms attached. Our room was quite spacious. Some parts were very old, especially the toilet, which looked straight out of the seventies. The next convenience store is about ten minutes away, but the drinks on the fifth floor were not too overpriced, which was nice. Breakfast with a view was quite good. I did not have the chance to try the onsen myself, but my partner enjoyed it a lot.

This is the best decision I’ve made during my trip in Miyazaki. I should have stayed longer here than I did in the previous booking. Almost everything is almost perfect, from the artificial hot spring to the traditional Japanese bedrooms, which are great additions to the Japanese experience. I believe it is one of the most affordable hotels in the area.The breakfast is a buffet that is included in my stay, and I had to add the Dinner buffet, which is very worth the price since the place doesn't have many restaurants nearby. The hotel is also within a 5-10 minute walk from the JR train station. The staff are also friendly.I definitely will be back here when I revisit Miyazaki soon. The day I visited was rainy, so I was unable to visit many places.

We stayed several days at this hostel with my husband and had a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, the room was spotless, and the breakfast was delicious. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place!

The hotel come with public bath, free parking, comic area and breakfast. The location of the hotel is about 20min driving to the Miyazaki city centre. We only allow to wear hotel slipper around the hotel compound.

This hotel is very affordable and worth the cost considering the location. Most restaurants, shops, and the beach are walking distance. The staff were very kind and friendly. The food service was delicious and plentiful. The rooms have a nice view. I just felt the bathroom was rather small.

This hotel provided us a really nice overnight stop on our drive up the beautiful Kyushu coast. We opted to stay in this quiet coastal town rather than carry on to busy Miyazaki and explore the nearby gorge. The hotel is well located, only a short walk from the town center and the scenic Aoshima island. There are numerous small shops and restaurants within easy walking distance and the peaceful coastal parks provide pleasant areas for an early morning run or walk.||||The room was fairly compact with a modular micro-bathroom, standard for Japanese business hotels. Great hot water and fun toilet seats. Our non-smoking room was bright, clean, modern, and stylish and appeared to be very well-maintained. We had a nice flat-screen TV but no English programming, a water jug, and a small fridge. The bed was very comfy but the pillows were a bit strange, all full of heavy beads. The room was very peaceful and quiet and we had a great, undisturbed sleep.||||There was a free internet connection in the room and we were able to rent a laptop at reception for about $11/day, giving us unlimited internet access during our stay – a great bonus for catching up on emails. The reception staff were very attentive and helpful and spoke just enough English to get by. The hotel offers a free onsen as well as free car parking, so for the $110 double room rate, it represents pretty good value. This was one of the better hotels that we stayed at in Japan and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to other travelers. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
