  Ryocan un poco descuidado

  Es un típico hotel japones, pero un poco descuidado, las habitaciones son un poco antiguas y no están bien cuidadas. La cena es una típica cena japonesa muy buena y bien surtida, servida en la habitación, muy bien atendida aunque sin nivel de inglés. La comida muy buena, con excelente surtido de platos típicos japoneses. Tiene unos baños japones comunes, para hombres y mujeres, lo ideal sería que fuesen al aire libre, no es el caso, pero es interesante como experiencia.

  Attentive staff and good location

  People will say it's too expensive, but that's what you pay for staying in this area, and this level of service. We booked a traditional Japanese family room for 4 people, with dinner and breakfast included. We communicated to the staff that two of the visitors would be vegetarian, and they were more accommodating than some other places we have visited. The room was HUGE compared to some other Ryokan we have stayed in, and the dinner was phenomenal. It was 4 separate courses, served in our room. A full experience, absolutely. Breakfast was less spectacular, but still at least 2 courses and great service. After we finished our dinner, the staff members who delivered our food and set the table came back in to clean it all up, and then proceeded to set out our futons for us. It was so fast and precise! And the futons were actually pretty comfortable! My only complaint is about the hotel's onsen. I understand that this is more of an add-on here and NOT the main attraction, as it is in many places, but the bathing area was a little underwhelming. There was only one type of shampoo and conditioner to use, and bar soap. Most places will offer multiple options and a bath gel. The ryokan did not offer a brush, or small hand towel and waterproof bag to use in the onsen, as most do. These are small issues, and nothing anyone will notice if this is their first experience. But as someone who visits Ryokan with onsen quite often, it was just a bit disappointing.

  Old style and very expensive for the quality of the place

  This is very old style, not at all modern, with little service. SPA or oncen is very nice. It's really a nice experience to get a common bath. I would avoid this address which is too expensive for its price.

  Don't be fooled by the lobby

  Stayed here with my two teenage sons for one night. There is no sign out the front in English so we relied on the taxi driver telling us that this was it. Reception staff were very nice and welcoming and the lobby area is beautiful getting our hopes up for the room. The room was Japanese style which we expected. It was actually three rooms if you count the bathroom, toilet room and large bedroom area. It was all a bit tired though with peeling paint and a scratched bathtub. It was clean though. The beds were really hard even for a futon. We slept on futons before that were more comfortable. You could feel the floor after not very long. There were some nice touches like the gorgeous tea set though I didn't like the taste of the tea and a smaller side room with low chairs that least had short legs and a table. The shower was awful, just a small handheld piece so we had baths in the deep and short tub which was good for tired legs. We walked to the peace park with no problem maybe 10-15 minutes away. It was okay for one night but I would not want to stay any longer. PS there was an earthquake 100 kms away the night we stayed and I felt the much smaller (but big to me!) tremors in the middle of the night (boys slept through it!) This was very scary and might have coloured how I felt about Sera Bekkan too.

  A nights stay in a Ryokan - Sera Bekkan

  A nights stay in a Ryokan in Hiroshima - Sera Bekkan, When we set out on our 15 night trip to Japan we had decided that we must experience a stay in a Ryokan. We were in Japan during the peak cherry blossom season & all the hotel rates had moved up substantially & we felt the full brunt especially as we had decided on this trip just a few weeks earlier. We zeroed in on Ryokan Sera Bekkan in Hiroshima. A comparatively small establishment & within walking distance to the Peace Memorial. The day was bad with a constant drizzle which reduced our enthusiasm & we shelved the idea of going across to Miya Jima. The room was very large with a sitting area &the traditional sliding doors separated the living & bedroom. This area was covered with tatami mats, a 4 seater small legged table with chairs without legs to go with it. The tea set was well laid out on the table. There was a small sit-out looking outwards. There was a mini-kitchenette & separate WC & Bath areas. After the extra small rooms that we had stayed in Tokyo & Osaka this place was palatial. In the evenings the table & chairs were moved to the side & mattresses were put on the floor. In the storage area on the side there were enough & more mattresses in case one was not used to the low slung sleeping position & wanted the sleeping mattresses to be higher! Probably the decision to skip Miya Jima was to enjoy the Ryokan ! We had a lovely nights sleep & in the morning we were served a typical Japanese breakfast with miso soup, egg to order, a piece of fish, a tofu preparation which was simmering on a burner & a few other items which we had not been exposed to overall this breakfast was different & quite enjoyable, if for no other reason, than it being an unique experience! We enjoyed our stay in Sera Bekkan no complaints other than that our credit card at check-out didn't seem to connect. So lost some time as we had to give 2 other cards before the matter was sorted out & we did have to rush a bit as we were heading for Osaka & the shinkasen which had a track record of being 36 seconds late was not going to wait for us. The rush to the station was successful & we were in time to board the shinkasen. Overall our experience in Ryokan Sera Bekkan was definitely enjoyable.
