It’s adequate.

Very close to the JR station. Was perfect for a one night stay after doing the Shimanami Kaido. Comfy room with a decent bathtub. Love the drink bar in the lobby. Wish it was open in the morning to have a coffee.

Room smelled like cigarettes.

Location to the train. Staff was very nice.

The women’s hot baths wasn’t very full so it felt strange sitting in a half full bath.

Good breakfast buffet. The Japanese style room was really nice with a view out onto the street at the tree tops.

Breakfast was poor by Japanese standards but decent by international standards.

Interesting experience staying in an old-school business hotel. Clean and friendly place and the staff were super helpful sorting out our luggage transfer to Onomichi. Perfect location if you are cycling the Shimanami Kaido as it is conveniently located near the station and cycle hire place. Would recommend for someone looking for value for money and a glimpse into the past.

There is a lingering smell of cigarette smoke. That’s the only fault of this hotel.

This hotel is a little gem; the best value for money!

The beds were a little too soft for my liking.

Excellent breakfast buffet, included in the room charge. Plus a welcome drink the evening before.

Very close to Imabari station. Attentive staff, even though they don't speak english they tried their best to make it work.

Staff were friendly. I was wrecked from the shimanami kaido and this hotel was a 3 minute walk from the bike drop off, so very convenient location wise.

a little run down, onsen was nothing to get excited about and the breakfast was extremely limited if you didnt want typical Japanese

very nice staff. they were extremely helpful even with limited English

Stayed in March 2023

Bath could’ve been a bit hotter for my tired legs. it was set at 40 degrees. but that’s just splitting hairs. the rooms we had smelt of smoke. ok, they were advertised as smoking rooms, so no surprises, but really quite strong smell.

we were cycling the Shimanami Kaido from Onomichi to Imabari so the location - right in front of Imabari station was a suitable endpoint. also nice was the big hot bath and welcome drink. staff were also very helpful and patient with us as we arrived at different times and some without passports. price was very reasonable, with buffet breakfast (Japanese style)

A little bit smoky-smelling but faded after a while. Hotel was clean but definitely old.

Very kind and helpful staff, comfortable futon beds, plenty of channels on the TV, free breakfast was varied and good, free alcoholic and soda/non-alc vending machine, location right next to station and bike rentals for the Shimanami Kaido and windows that could open for nice ocean breeze!

the western room had a rather dirty floor

the Japanese room was really nice and tidy. good location

Stayed in April 2022

Bed was a little to hard for me

The area, and the room view

Stayed in January 2022

There is a loud rumbling sound whenever someone in the next room over flushes the toilet. When it rained, loud tapping sounds could be heard in the room which woke me up. TV channels are lacking, even by Japan's standards.

Great location, good breakfast, and nice (though small) public bath to relax in after a long day of biking.

Stayed in October 2021

The futon was not so comfortable and the breakfast area was a little tight

Location is very central

Stayed in July 2021

No A/C in the room, it got pretty hot and we had to request a floor fan. We actually requested two floor fans and they only had one available.

Good location, ample room with good bathroom facilities.

Stayed in May 2021

Onsen and massage chairs very nice after long day of bike riding.

Stayed in March 2024

No AC, but we got a fan to fix the problem~

The hotel was very centrally located. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. The hotel accommodations were basic, but they offered any additional services or items in the front which you could easily take with you up to your room. I appreciate this method as it reduces waste per room. The breakfast was EXCELLENT and I felt safe parking my bicycle. Would definitely stay here again if I come through Imabari.

Stayed in October 2023

The hotel wasn't particularly obvious until we noticed A small sign near some steps that were a dead end. Further investigation revealed an entrance to the left. However then we took a few minutes of investigation to work out that reception was up the stairs.

Being from New Zealand it was a pleasure to have a Japanese style room. It was clean and very Japanese. There was complimentary coffee and drinks (certain times) in the reception area. We especially enjoyed the onset and made full use of it. The location was perfect as it was basically at the Imabari end of the Shiminari Kaido cycle way and across the road from the railway station. We were able to securely leave our bikes locked in the foyer and were also able to recharge our bike batteries overnight in our room.
