Di sekitar Museum Bajak Laut Murakami × Kamar dan fasilitas yang dinilai tinggi di Hotel·penginapan gaya Jepang

The Room was clean, and we felt truly relaxed on the island. Since there was no return boat, you suggested a cruise on the first day instead, which got us excited from the start. The meals were delicious, and we were happy to enjoy plenty of drinks. We felt that one night wasn’t quite enough. The staff were also very kind.

The Room was clean, the breakfast was delicious, and the large public bath was great. However, since there was only one elevator, it got very crowded during peak check-in and check-out times, and we sometimes had to wait quite a while, which was a bit inconvenient. Also, the hallway was hot—I wish there had been air conditioning in the corridors as well. Still, considering the value for money, it’s an excellent Hotel! I’d love to stay here again when I visit Imabari.

After having lunch at a traditional Japanese restaurant on Hakatajima Island along the Shimanami Kaido, I visited two of the extra temples associated with Temple No. 88 before checking in. The display of miniature ship replicas is wonderful—perfect for a shipbuilding town. The bathroom fixtures are also set up to international standards, and it was fun that the faucet handles are reversed. I was also happy to find authentic Chinese cuisine on B1F at reasonable prices for dinner. This is probably my fifth stay here.

Not only is it close to JR Imabari Station, it is also the final stop of the Shimanami Kaido bus from Fukuyama, making it very convenient for getting around. There is also a large, popular spa nearby for cyclists, and discount coupons are available. I would love to stay here again as a base for exploring the Shimanami Kaido.

It was a Hotel with new Facilities, and the building was clean, making it comfortable to stay. The staff were also kind and provided courteous service.

The meals were exceptionally delicious and luxurious. Choosing this option was absolutely the right decision! The room was clean, and a Dyson humidifier was provided, so I stayed very comfortably. The amenities were well stocked, and I was happy they had Sekkisei. There were many kinds of bath salts, and it was fun choosing one. All the towels—even the hand towels served with meals—were Imabari towels. At the vending machines on the 4th floor, you could buy beer, chu-hai, and highballs in addition to soft drinks. When I visit again, I’d love to stay here again—it’s an Accommodation I’d also recommend to others.

Anyway, the meals were excellent. There was plenty of fresh fish, and the horaku-yaki I debated adding was also very delicious. The appetizers were varied and tasty, and the sea bream rice had a gentle seasoning and was great. Since I couldn’t finish it all, they made it into rice balls for me, which I enjoyed later as a late-night snack. Amazing value for money.

My spouse and I stayed in a Deluxe Double. The bed was spacious enough for an average Japanese build, and we slept very well. There are vending machines inside the Hotel where you can buy alcohol and simple snacks. As for parking, the space next to the Hotel is narrow and fills up quickly, but there is a slightly larger area about one block away. I was worried after checking Street View whether there really was free parking, so it would be nice if the website provided clearer guidance. However, when we parked on the street that day and asked at the front desk, they kindly explained it to us, so it wasn’t a problem. It’s a very typical Business Hotel, and it was comfortable. If I had to mention one downside, it would be that the TV is fixed to the wall and its HDMI port is only accessible from behind, so I couldn’t plug in my laptop or smartphone to display anything (even though there’s an input button on the remote...).

My cycling trip at an advanced age—traveling with my son. The gently seasoned meals were kind to my tired body, suited me very well, and I thought they were excellent. The seawater bath was also wonderful. A moment before bedtime. The head chef’s beautifully toned flute performance. Bravo. If I ever ride again... will that happen? If so, I would love to stay here again.

They have both standard Rooms and a capsule floor with semi-private pods, so I stayed on the capsule floor for something different. Since it was a weekday, there was no one in the row next to me—nice and quiet.\n\nOn the same floor as the front desk, the indoor bath, drink corner, and massage chairs were all close by, which actually felt very convenient.\n\nThey even served jakoten as a late-night snack and offered a welcome drink—overall, the service was quite good.\n\nAfter enjoying both the indoor bath and the massage chairs, I went to sleep. They also lend out pillows. The capsule itself was very comfortable.\n\nBreakfast was buffet-style. With curry and sausages available, that alone is perfect for me. They also had granola.\n\nThere’s only a Hotel and a convenience store nearby, but they lend bicycles for free, so I could easily ride to a supermarket that’s a bit farther away.

This was my first time staying here, and the Facility was well equipped, so I had a very comfortable stay. I was able to forget about work and relax while watching the sunset and sunrise, and I truly felt refreshed. I was also impressed by the beauty of the Seto Inland Sea as seen from the cabin. I’ve been to various glamping sites, but so far this is the best. The only reason I deducted one point is that the shower area in the bathroom is a bit small. Next time, I’d like to try a Multiple Night Stay. Thank you very much.

The Room’s interior, Facilities, size, and location were all excellent. I wish I could end my review there, but there was one very disappointing issue. On the morning of the third day (Saturday) of our two-night stay, I found a spider about 10 cm in diameter in the bathroom during a morning bath. The spider itself may have come in when opening or closing the door or windows, and given the natural surroundings—and since I noticed it right before checkout—it wasn’t a major problem. The real issue was what came next. Since new guests might be staying that day, and some people may dislike insects or small children might encounter it (it was large enough to surprise even me), I worried it could ruin their trip. I called the published phone number, but only reached an automated message saying it was outside business hours. I also checked the pre-stay email guidance but couldn’t find any emergency contact information. I understand this Accommodation operates differently from a Ryokan or Hotel, but for situations where guests need to contact someone immediately during their stay (it doesn’t have to be public), there should at least be an emergency contact number provided to guests. In this case, I hope housekeeping removed the spider so the next guests could stay comfortably. However, please recognize that not being able to resolve urgent issues smoothly by phone can potentially ruin a trip, and consider setting up proper emergency contact arrangements. As mentioned at the start, this is an excellent Facility overall—but this one drawback alone makes me hesitate to book again.

I arrived late and had given up on finding parking, but the front desk staff went out of their way to accommodate my request. Thank you. 　The Hotel was also very clean. I would like to stay here again if I have the chance to stay in Imabari.

It’s best to think of it like staying in a private vacation home. The main guest Room feels like a king’s chamber. I gave that Room to the family with kids and my spouse and I stayed in the spare Room, but even that had more than enough Facility. The dining area allows shoes, but it’s spacious, so we hosted a dinner gathering with friends—it was very convenient. I brought extra kitchen items just in case anything was missing, but everything was there, including a rice cooker and toaster. Next time I’ll come empty-handed. There seems to be an area where you can do BBQ, but we couldn’t find a grill—maybe there isn’t one. If you want to BBQ, you’ll probably need to bring your own equipment. It’s right off the interchange, so the location is extremely convenient.\nWe’ll be back.

We stayed at the accommodation for a three-generation trip, as it was strongly requested by our grandchild. We didn't see any other Japanese guests during our stay. If we were more fluent in English, it would have been an even more enjoyable experience. We had breakfast at the attached café in the morning. Both the accommodation and café were stylishly designed and lovely places to be. The shower room was clean, though there was no bathtub. However, as Japanese people, especially seniors, we do miss soaking in a bath.

The staff seemed quite young overall, and everyone was working hard. When I spoke to them, they were friendly and enjoyable to chat with. Dinner was creative and delicious, and breakfast was also great with a fun variety of options. On the way there, I took a ferry that arrived in just two minutes—it was an interesting experience. It’s worth staying at least once.

There’s no hassle with check-in or check-out, and the comfortable sense of personal space—like staying abroad—felt just right. The thoughtfully placed amenities were a nice touch, and it was relaxing not having to worry about anything. Other guests seemed the same way, and that respectful distance—not too close, not too far—made it a comforting place to stay.

The boat platter with spiny lobster looked like a lot, and I wondered if I could finish it, but it was so delicious that I ate it all in no time. Their signature nanbanzuke was also excellent. I’d love to stay again.

The location and meals were excellent, and we were very satisfied with the service. We would definitely like to stay again.
