주변 × 만족도 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

There was a wide variety of welcome drinks. It was also fun to compare three different types of mandarin orange juice. One concern was that there was only one elevator, so it got crowded in the morning. Also, I didn’t find the miso soup at breakfast very tasty. Other than that, it was a wonderful hotel.

The parking lot is spacious, so there's no need to worry about parking even if you check in late. The Room and Facility were excellent, allowing for a comfortable stay. I would love to use this place again if I have the chance.

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’s a new, bright, and spotless hotel. Because it’s close to the Shimanami Kaido, there were many overseas (Western) cyclists, and when I was enjoying the free beer in the lounge, it almost felt like being abroad. From the large public bath and from my room, I had a beautiful view of Imabari Castle and the sunrise. It wasn’t a hot spring, which was a bit disappointing, but when I went in it felt like I had it all to myself. I was amazed by breakfast—far more variety and quality than I expected! I wanted to try more, but I was too full and had to give up. When I contacted a local car rental company on site, they provided shuttle service to the hotel, so it was affordable and very convenient.

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.

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.

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...).

The staff were kind and provided attentive service, making this a wonderful hotel to stay at. I was able to relax in the large public bath, which was very soothing. Breakfast was excellent—I got to enjoy all of Imabari’s local specialties. It became a very memorable trip. Thank you very much.

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.

Check-in and check-out are unattended and can be done easily on a tablet, and the Room was kept clean. It is inconvenient that the bathroom and toilet are outside the Room. There is no bath mat in the bathroom, so the floor gets wet; it would have been nice to have a diatomaceous earth mat.
