Very disappointed to be writing this review... Firstly, their website is dreadfully dated and their booking system puzzling, even comically so. It almost feels like using the Wayback Machine... I tried booking five or six months in advance and so I wrote to the hotel to express my excitement for both coming back to Imabari where I once lived and worked teaching English in 1999, and also that I had always wanted to stay at the hotel, as I actually lived directly across the road from the hotel and always thought it so exclusive and luxurious-looking, and it was the talk-of-the-town back in '99 when they were still very new. I was willing to pay a substantial room rate for a Tatami Suite (approx. ¥30,000 per night for three nights) however was advised that they were sold-out for my desired dates-of-stay in March 2023. What irked me is that no alternative accommodation options were offered, despite there still being availability on third-party websites such as *********** and ******* for other room types, and there was no acknowledgment of my excitement and enthusiasm for wanting to be a guest of theirs' after so many years, or for any disappointment caused. This is terrible service, and not exactly what one would call 'growing the business' to reject a potential guest despite having other rooms and suites available to sell. We instead booked ourselves a washitsu (traditional Japanese tatami room) at Hotel Kikusui Imabari down by the port, which was cute, comfortable, clean, and looks to have had recently had a refurbishment of their guestrooms as the bathrooms while small were nice and new. The cost of this room was also about a third of what the Kokusai Imabari Hotel asks for their Tatami Suites as well. I still wanted to go to the Kokusai Imabri Hotel however and at least see their gardens and lobby, pick up some Imbari towels from the official store at the front entrance, and have breakfast in their restaurant. The lobby is very nice and it does have the grandeur of a Japanese hotel trying to be a European hotel without being tacky or dated, and it does appear that they have recently cleaned all the chandeliers (I'd read other reviews and this seems to have been a first impression for a lot of guests, so this was a nice surprise to see them dust-free). We had a look at the gardens outside and they were very nice and maintained as to be expected with Japanese gardens. So why the 1 star review? Well, we wanted to treat ourselves to what we thought would be a five-star breakfast. We were told to go upstairs to the mezzanine level and we met a nice lady staff member who advised that breakfast would be roughly ¥2,400 per person. No problem, that's fair for a good buffet breakfast. We were then however lead into a huge banquet hall with only a couple of dozen guests dining, which made it feel even emptier and more like a school cafeteria rather than a classy restaurant. We then went to the buffet and it seems that none of the bain mar

GGuest UserThis is a very good hotel. I didn't live in the last time. I made an appointment in advance and stayed with my husband and son. We rode along the island's Bohai Road from Imoji. Due to the hot weather, we set off late and arrived at the hotel 2 hours later than the scheduled time. But the hotel service staff has been in touch with us frequently after receiving our emails and reminding us of the precautions for the night bus route. After arrival, the service staff gave a very warm welcome. The next day was still too hot and sent us to Dodoro Bridge Park.
It is a very reassuring hotel that feels like home.
The next day we were in the cafe, looking out the window at the sea, sailing, the sun, listening to Posanova's music, everything slowed down.
Thank you for a safe and welcoming journey.
WwzhkevinTruly excellent facilities. My friends and I were so impressed. It’s a hostel but you do get private spaces, basically giant cubicles with blinds and curtains to give you some privacy. Facilities were basic, but exceptionally clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful as well, despite seeming quite busy. My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that the perfect hostel is still a hostel. You get people talking late into the night keeping you up with their mumbling. You have people snoring. It’s nothing the hostel can really do anything about, but it’s something to bear in mind.
GGuest UserI thought this place was remote and difficult to reach by public transportation. For this reason, I took a small amount of money to take a taxi in and out, and I wanted to give a bad evaluation.
But the moment you see the hotel facilities and scenery, everything is no longer important. When the weather is good, the room and restaurant can see the super super beautiful scenery! The sunset and morning light are so beautiful.
The meal is superb, you must choose one night, two or three meals, each meal is eaten, and the taste is very good.
The room is large and the layout is very good.
The only regret is that there is no natural hot spring, otherwise you can really choose to live here for three days.
GGuest UserThe hotel's reception area and bar are quite modern with some cute Japanese décor and homewares on shelves. There is also a complimentary 'amenity buffet' so you can pick up some extra soaps, shampoos, bath salts, etc. any time you need them. We had a wa****su (traditional Japanese tatami room) on the 3rd floor that was moderate in size but very clean and looks to have had a recent renovation as the bathroom was very new and modern. Imabari's main shopping street is just a 2 minute walk away with some nice coffee shops and homeware stores. There are also two Poeme stores very closeby where you can buy Imabari's local sweet treat which are perfect with coffee and also as a boxed gift idea too! The nearest convenience store (a Family Mart) is about a 5 minute walk away and Imabari Castle is about a 10 minute walk from the hotel's front entrance and makes for an interesting afternoon and has an excellent 360 degree view from the top. The hotel has bicycles that you can rent for free, however the seats were very uncomfortable and even a little painful (though it might just be me, as I haven't ridden a bicycle in quite a few years and am a big heavy Australian bloke!) Our futons were very comfortable and we had a great nights' sleep and felt very refreshed in the morning. Unfortunately we made the decision to go to the Imabari Kokusai Hotel for breakfast instead of having breakfast at Hotel Kikusui Imabari and we had quite possibly the worst buffet breakfast there. Really regret we didn't just stay and have breakfast in-house, as the food at Kikusui looked to have been far better and at a fraction of the price too! Couldn't fault this hotel and will absolutely stay again on my next visit to my old hometown of Imabari!
GGuest User(2023/04/04) My recommendation is not to sleep in Omishima if you can avoid it. If you can't avoid it, I recommend you avoid this accommodation. The person who served us did not show any attention. The hotel was very comfortable and very comfortable. There are only two bathrooms and two showers for the 5 rooms between 2 and 4 beds each. The rooms and bathrooms seem clean. The beds are very uncomfortable, the beds/shots are spent. The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable. It feels like we have been very good at some time, but our experience has not been that for nothing. It's a real pity. 😞
Das Hotel ist ganz in Ordnung für eine Nacht. Generell sind die Hotels in Imabari relativ teuer, dieses war okay. Sauberkeit hat auch gepasst, die Zimmer waren halt keine Schönheiten, aber das interessiert nach 76 km Fahrradfahren auch nicht mehr.
GGuest UserAs a facility, I felt nostalgic because it was a bath with a rare Yufune and a washroom at this time. How do you say it is Showa? It is located at the end of the north of imabari Ginza, and the location from the station is not good, but imabari Jo castle is right there. The shopping street has been a complete shutter since the entire Shimanami Kaido road, but there are also shops that have a new sense of vacant stores. It may be a good inn for travelers who can apologize for the old good imabari and enjoy the feeling of being sorry. Breakfast is free, hot coffee is free to drink. Well, efforts are being made.
