Hotel Cycle

We planned to ride the Shimanimo Kaido and saw that if you stayed that the U2 you could collect rental bikes from the giant store the night before giving you an early start. So we booked. Alas the store isn’t open on a Tuesday (out research had lead us to believe only the Imabari store was closed on Tuesdays) and so we had to wait until the following morning to get bikes and set off. The room was lovely and I slept really well here but the room lacks sufficient lighting and is very dark and is easy to lose things. The bath was enormous but being made just of brick it was quite cold in winter and took a lot of filling. We weren’t told that drinks etc were available in the laundry room and so we felt a bit annoyed to have paid quite so much for a room without a kettle. Only after I did some washing did I find this facility. The hotel offers plenty room to store bikes and has tools to use and even zwift set up. It is in a lovely setting of an old warehouse with a great restaurant etc. We ate breakfast, lunch and evening meal across the two days and all were good. Lastly the hotel stored our luggage overnight while we rode to Imabari and back for just 500 yen which was much appreciated. The hotel had a lovely vibe and I felt very relaxed there. Would happily return and recommend.

This bicycle friendly hotel caters to cyclists as it’s on the popular cycling route and close to the train station and ferry terminal. Staff are super friendly and helpful. This warehouse that has been converted to a restaurant with shops and hotel is contemporary and inviting. The coffee shop serves yummy lattes. Breakfast is included.

This hotel is such a welcoming place. The staff always take really good care of us. We recently enjoyed our vacation there and the staff, Miss Okana and Filipino staff in charge of the dining room are really good care of us. I will always recommend this place to a friend.

Room too small for 2 people and given there isn't a window, overhead lighting insufficient to see. Kind of cool vibe but I really didn't need to pay so much ($250+) Breakfast is meager, dinner also meager and expensive. We did the Shimano ride and this is a good launch point. However, I'd stay elsewhere. Staff extremely kind and helpful.
