Hotel Aligator -Adult Only-
9,1/10 Exceptional - Based on 20 reviews
Hotel Aligator -Adult Only- sits on the Miyahama Onsen shoreline near Miyajima and positions itself as an adult-only retreat. The property operates as a love hotel Miyahama Onsen and offers 36 guest rooms, many with private balconies and sea views. Rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a microwave and a private bathroom with bidet; several layouts include a writing desk and an electric kettle. The hotel presents a discreet, contemporary interior where practical amenities are prioritised for short stays and overnight visits.
Front-desk service runs 24 hours and the property provides complimentary Wi‑Fi and free private parking, making it convenient for guests arriving by car. Standard arrival hours are in the early evening with check-in generally between 18:00 and 23:00 and check-out extending into late morning, accommodating flexible night‑stay plans. A light Italian-style breakfast is reported on-site, and staff can advise on local attractions; the Itsukushima (Miyajima) shrine is a short drive away, with Mount Misen reachable by car in around twenty minutes.
Rooms emphasise privacy and ease — balconies for sea views, simple storage, bath amenities and extras like an in-room microwave that many couples find useful. The property's adult-only policy, 24-hour reception and on-site parking create a straightforward base for couples wanting a private stay near Miyajima; it functions as a compact love hotel Hiroshima prefecture option for visitors seeking proximity to the shrine and nearby hot-spring facilities. Practicality and seclusion are the defining features rather than resort-style services.
