Anchor Hotel Fukuyama

It feels more like a boutique hotel than a cheap hotel. The rooms are really tastefully decorated with local furniture and furnishings which give it more character than a regular hotel. The beds are cool and comfortable. The staff are friendly and seem to take pride in their hotel. We got complimentary soba for new year and a drink too which was a nice touch. Nothing in the room feels cheap and even the hotel info is in a wood and leather binder rather than the usual nasty laminated design. The bar is good for relaxing even if alone. I expect to be back on business and will choose this hotel again.

I stopped off for one night at the Anchor Hotel on the way to Onomichi. The hotel is a charming place to stay at with wonderful welcoming, friendly staff and lovely small but, equally significant touches, such as a free welcome drink and small pouch of coffee. The room itself contained a small fridge and two welcome bottles of chilled water and was laid out in typical Japanese style, with a very comfortable bed. My, one, big regret was that I only booked for one night! I will for sure, return to this delightful hotel, which felt like a home from home amongst friends. If you ever visit Fukuyama, there is only one hotel to stay at, the Anchor hotel!

We loved our stay at The Anchor Hotel Fukuyama - we planned to stay one night, and ended up staying 4 nights! Location is a super easy and close walk to the train station, so a perfect base location for day and half day trips - from here we did day trips to Tomonoura, Kurashiki, Hemeji, Onomichi and the Shimano Kaido bike trail. The room was very clean and had everything we needed - plus the added bonus for us was that our room was light and airy - queen bed and pillows were super comfy. A simple breakfast was included - we chose a lovely fresh egg and salad roll and a drink - all we needed to start the day! All the staff were very friendly and helpful - thank you to you all for a fantastic stay!

We liked everything. The Anchor Hotel is clean, groovy, and easy to access. It is close to Fukuyama Shinkansen train station – within a block and a half. It is easy to check into - via the Oriental Hotel less than 50 metres down the road to the right of the entrance as you face the building. The staff are wonderful and helpful. Our room was a good price and came with a very simple but tasty breakfast. The Seven-Eleven is opposite the station at the end of the street. There’s a shopping complex in the station. Fukuyama Castle is one block away. The Anchor has a cool bar and there are plenty of cool bars and restaurants on the other side of the railway line. Everyone in Fukuyama goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and help you if you need it. We had the best time in this city and wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

Excellent breakfast and freshly squeezed orange juice. Seasonal items on the menu in addition to usual sandwich/ hot dog options. Nice selection of amenities in the room. Easy walk to the station. Stayed here at the end of Shimanami Kaido cycling trip to break up journey back to Tokyo. Anchor hotel was a comfortable way to relax before heading home. Enjoyed visited Fukuyama castle which is close to the hotel and only a few minutes from the station.
