ANCHOR HOTEL FUKUYAMA

The facility itself was very good. The only things that bothered me were that the water pressure in the shower was very weak, and the hair dryer was weak and had a lot of dust on the nozzle, which I found disappointing.

I used this hotel for business and was generally satisfied. The breakfast was just right. Two minor points regarding the facilities: - The lack of a desk makes desk work a bit difficult. While the cafe downstairs is an option, individual booths would be nice. - The large public bath is available, but it's in a separate building, so it would be good to have umbrellas available for rent in case of rain.

There is no bathroom, but you can go to the bathhouse of the hotel next door for hot spring bathing. Breakfast is included. If you like apartment-style hotels, you can give it a try. The only downside is that the room is very hot when you check in, and the air conditioning is not strong enough. It takes about half a day for the whole room to cool down.

I made a last-minute reservation on the day, but I had a very comfortable stay. It was easily accessible from the station, and the room was spacious and clean. The service was excellent, with amenities, charging cables, welcome drinks, breakfast, and more. I would definitely stay again if I have the opportunity.

We arrived at the hotel at 6:00 PM that evening. The hotel's exterior was stunning from the first glance. The cozy lobby, with its warm yellow lighting and powerful heating, was truly welcoming. The female staff was incredibly friendly and explained everything in detail in fluent English. They even gave me a brief tour of the hotel. The hotel has a free water dispenser with large bottles for self-use. Toothbrushes, combs, and other toiletries are available at the self-service area for self-service. The green light in the hotel elevator was a bit odd 🤣. The hotel is designed like an apartment, with four rooms on one floor, and an open-plan layout. Anyone who's watched the Japanese anime "We Are the One" will understand. The hotel rooms are spacious. The double room was perfectly spacious for a 29-inch suitcase. Perhaps due to the airy, spacious interior, even with the heater on in the winter, it still felt a bit chilly at night. The room was clean, with an industrial-style design, wooden tables, and comfortable lighting. The bed was large and perfectly firm. There was a tablet with information about the hotel and nearby attractions. This hotel is affiliated with the Fukuyama Oriental Hotel, so you can use the hotel's large public bath. While it's less than a minute's walk, it was quite cold and irritating to walk out in winter wearing only a yukata. The bathhouse is clean and comfortable, but small, with only four bathing spots. It was quite crowded that evening at 8:00 PM, so there was a slight queue. The hotel is also close to the famous Onomichi Ramen, a 6-7 minute walk away near Fukuyama Station. The line was about 10 minutes, but the food was delicious and I felt warm and satisfied afterward! The hotel's breakfast was delicious, with several options for food and drinks. I chose a hot dog and hot coffee, which was delicious. It was a shame I had to rush to a schedule, otherwise I could have stayed longer at the hotel and enjoyed it. A great experience! I will definitely be back! Next time I'll definitely have a drink at the hotel bar 🍺
