Hotels near Silver Hut (Annex to Toyo Ito Museum), Imabari

How many years ago, after seeing it in a travel magazine (Yukoyuko, Jalan, etc.), I was attracted to the open-air bath with a magnificent view. , The fact that you can only go by ferry from Takehara Port will make your trip more exciting. Arrived in just 20 minutes by shuttle bus. There was an overjoyed change that the restaurant meal of the reservation plan will be prepared as a private room meal in a separate room at check-in! It seems that the number of customers is small due to the corona, so it is probably because I can use the vacant room. The room is simple, the amenities are minimal but clean and spacious, and above all, the view from the window that opens the bran and jumps into your eyes. The open-air bath I was looking for was that it had a wonderful view and I could spend time forgetting my daily life, and no one was there while I was taking a bath. What surprised me was the food! Although it is a standard plan, the quality and quantity are excellent, and the steamed abalone is exquisite and the deliciousness of the sashimi is exceptional! As expected, it is the Seto Inland Sea. The staff is working hard for young people, but I liked the appearance of the man in the room who was polite and hard to serve customers from abroad. Breakfast used to be a buffet style, but now it is compatible with corona infection. Probably, it was very good for us because it is a Japanese set meal and I am not good at buffet. It's nice to have coffee after a meal. I was worried that the price was higher than when I first saw this hotel, but when I came, I was convinced that it was a good hotel. However, there is only one ... On the way back from the Shinkansen, when I noticed that I had forgotten the clothes I was wearing when I arrived at the inn, I called and said that I had nothing left behind ...? ?? I changed into a different top in the morning I forgot the clothes I wore the day before and left them on the hanger, so I have no place to forget other than the hotel ... Of course I forget this is worse, so be careful! I thought, but I was a little shocked to be told that I wouldn't even leave my forgotten hair clip or tea bottle at another inn (tears). There are four.

Great family experience. I read all the reviews and was worried that the room had no attached bath, emailed the hotel with all the questions I had and made all the preparations for my kids. Lord and behold I was assigned THE ROOM with attach bath right next to the Onsen! It was incredible for a family of four. They have a common toilet as well so if the one in the room is occupied, I just walk out to the common one that is well maintained. The staff here speaks good English and were extremely helpful. The breakfast, lunch and dinner at the one and only restaurant here were incredible. While they do not have a wide variety, they made it up with the quality! Delicious is an understatement! Ask the receptionist everything and seek their advise on everything you want to do. They will tell you the best timings and areas to experience the most bunnies! Their weather forecast is spot on too. The only downside is the room smell of bunny food, but this is expected as this island is basically about bunnies!

The 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!

I used it on the pilgrimage in March 2021. Arriving at the hotel at 15:30, you can see it from the 55th Fudasho Nankobo, the room is a little small with a W bed, and it is a vinine hotel, so it is clean as it is. It is undeniable that it is aging due to aging. I think people on the pilgrimage are in a convenient place. Since there is no dinner, I procured food at a nearby supermarket (Super Marunaka, which takes less than 10 minutes on foot), breakfast was 6:30, buffet style, there were many items and the taste was reasonably good. The dining room door opened at 6:30 for breakfast at this hotel. I feel that 6600 yen including tax is a little expensive for this breakfast, but I feel that it can't be helped because it is close to Nankobo and the location is good. It's not bad here, but there are many hotels near here, so I'll stay at another hotel next time I come.

I used it at work, and the parking lot is divided into front and back sides, and there are only 10 cars, so it may be a little short in the car society, and it was a size that struggled to park when there were many mini van classes. The door of the unit bus is rubbed with the frame and it is unstable to open and close, and the toilet seat comes down freely during use and uses it while pressing it with hand. On the other hand, there is a side that I think home breakfast is good in health.

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.

This hotel is very new, and it's only around 3 minutes walking distant away from the JR station. The lobby is very big with big windows and has many chairs for guest to sit and rest, there are also bike rack for you to lock the bike at the lobby. We were surprised to find out that there's welcome drinks and beer is also included. Our room was on one of the higher floor, so the view was beautiful. Breakfast was buffet style and was amazing, selection was great and delicious. Would definitely stay there again if we visit the area. The only downside is the staff doesn't understand English too well, but not too big of an issue when there's google translate.

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

I couldn't make a reservation for a hot spring inn at GW and I was planning to sightsee Matsuyama the next day, so I booked this hotel with 2 meals. Dinner is a Japanese food with a lot of mouth as well as other word of mouth. Breakfast is a choice from Japanese or Japanese tempura. There is also a buffet such as drinks and a feeling of fulfillment from the morning. There is no restaurant around the hotel and it is saved with 2 meals. The room uses an ordinary semi double for 2 people. The unit bus was a little tired, but it was divided into a business hotel. The cost is cheap and the service correspondence is no problem.
