  Wonderful place

  Stopped here for one night as part of our "Oka bike tour ". Very nice hotel, had dinner elsewhere but the buffet breakfast was great. Enjoyed the hotel hot springs. Bed and pillows very comfortable. 5 tour buses arrived so obviously a popular place.

  Great hotel, would fit in with the best of a big city!

  How to make a great impression on a guest who wheels up on a bicycle, two hours before check- in: phone the maid and ask her to finish your room next. Five minutes later, checked- in and on the way to my room. What a nice and thoughtful gesture, two thumbs up to the staff. I was given room 1807, a very spacious room with a double bed (more like a queen bed, actually). The room looked north / east with a great view of three of the famous seven Shimanami Kaido bridges connecting Shikoku to Honshu and the only set of big bridges in Japan with bikeways. The room décor was that of an older, full- service Japanese hotel: lots of figured wood veneers, lots of drawers, large, good closet space, very stylish furniture from back then but a bit dated now still, very pleasant and in great condition. There were just two things missing: enough mains ports / USB charge points and no way to control the room temperature. The bathroom was nicely fitted with a black granite sink countertop and lots of amenities. It was all very clean. A big perk for bicyclists, they invite you to keep your bike in your room. Thats probably only done at hotels on the two ends of the Shimanami Kaido, the 70km bikeway across all the bridges to Honshu. Fortunately, theres plenty of space for a bike or two in this room. The Hot Springs at the hotel offers inside / outside baths, a steam sauna and a relaxation room. Just the thing for tired legs. Here are two restaurants and a bar on the top floor, 23F. There are more at lobby level. The teppan restaurant is exceptionally good, though (not unexpectedly) pricey. Breakfast was very good, with a nice selection and a beautiful garden view out the windows. Nothings really near anything in Imabari, it seems! The town is very spread out. The Kokusai is 900m from the central train station and 500m from the castle entrance. There is a UniQlo next door and a konbini a block away. All in all, it is as convenient a location as you can get in a spread- out place, I guess. The hotel is highly recommended for great rooms and staff.

  Pleasant stay

  Unfortunately we only stayed here for one night and an extra night would have been great to explore the area further. The hotel has good parking, a large comfortable lobby, fast check-in service, staff could speak English very well. Our room was very large and had a lovely view over the city - unfortunately the weather wasn't the best - rain. Our room had good amenities, comfortable beds and pillows. We had a beautiful dinner at the hotel and the buffet breakfast was Western style, which was fine. The hotel offers a beautiful onsen. We had a quiet drink at the bar (lobby area) overlooking the outside Japanese garden - very relaxing. We would stay here again.

  Only stayed a night which doesn't do justice

  I was only staying a night so missed out all the facilities it had. While I'm not a fan of huge hotels and the wifi was rubbish everything else was good that I got to see. The rooms very spacious and a great bath / shower combo. The surrounding areas though are pretty dead and industrialised so I couldn't recommend hitting this area. I'm on a 5 day/night city tour so I'm not getting to pick the hotels.

  Disastrous reservation and check-in

  Recent stay here was marred by the hotel saying that we'd cancelled our reservation and they no longer had a room for us. After much wrangling they offered to give us a lesser room. And then when we checked out the next morning they apologized that overnight they had indeed found our reservations. Much hassle and aggravation for the hotel's slip up.
