Description
Hotel Bell Harmony Ishigakiisland is a three-star property offering a range of room types from Economy Single rooms with balconies to Deluxe rooms.

The hotel features a restaurant serving buffet breakfast daily from 7:00 to 9:30, and guests can enjoy free bicycle rentals and laundry facilities on site. While the hotel offers free WiFi and 24-hour front desk services, English proficiency among staff is limited, so some communication challenges might arise.

Overall, the hotel is valued for its affordability and proximity to Ishigaki’s downtown and island terminals, though expect basic facilities and some signs of aging throughout the property.

Reviews
The carpet was also worn out. It's different from the photo...
I can't complain because I was able to stay there cheaply due to emergency evacuation due to a typhoon...
The staff was friendly.
The washing machine and dryer are free to use.
It's also close to a computer, so it's very convenient.
Parking is an additional charge.
It's my first time to Ishigaki Island, just drive down the dark road from the airport and get off in front of the museum. I'm so hurt. I liked how the room was designed in an American style. The room is large, has two beds, and has a simple kitchen and microwave on the counter. The view was good because it was on the upper floor. Only the air conditioner didn't work well. It was an inn that made me want to stay longer because it was close to the downtown area and the terminal.
Also, all rooms have balconies, but they are all facing the street, so you can see the veranda completely. I never went out.
In addition, the entertainment district is nearby, breakfast is included, and laundry is free. I had no other complaints.
Service is also good. Everyone's response was good.
The furniture in the room was worn out and unusable.
I really only used it for sleeping, so it wasn't too bad.
Breakfast is buffet style at the restaurant on the 2nd floor, and although there are few Okinawan-like menus, you can enjoy Japanese-style meals.
You will get a bottle of water at check-in. It was because I got it after I arrived in the hot weather, but it was a very nice service.
I think it is a good base to go to various remote islands at the Ishigaki Island base.
