Lemonsea Onomichi

After cycling the Shimanami Kaido for a few days we ended our trip at Lemonsea Onomichi. We had the top floor room, a beautifully designed space with a private terrace. Unfortunately the terrace proved unusable in the July heat and even the room was quite hot with the flat roof. Still we enjoyed the room and stay a lot and the staff were helpful in finding me a space to charge my e-bike. The only comment we have is the toilet having only a curtain, which for two friends staying in one room is a bit tricky!

Aesthetically modern but super cozy. A short 10min walk to onomichi station. It was just as seen on website pictures. Staff and facilities were exceptional.

Unfortunately the shower had no hot water in the morning of departure but a lovely spot if you intend to do the islands bike ride.

Pros: - The hotel/hostel is a short walk from Onomichi Station so it's quite convenient to get around - The room and facilities are generally clean and refreshed - The location is near a large Welcia and AEON so it would be super convenient for snacks and toiletries etc - The local staff are friendly and welcoming Cons: - The walls/doors are relatively light and as such make a lot of noises when guests leave early in the morning or arrive late at night - The foreign male staff member who tended to us on our first night when checking in wrote the wrong room password on our check-in card, and insisted that he wrote it correctly when we asked for help. " Did you mistake my y for a 4?" "Did you mistake my 4 for a 2?" We clearly tried all possible combinations before asking for help. In the end, the mistake was him writing a 2 as a 1...and he still said this to us before parting ways: "I wrote a 1? It was clearly a 2"
