Hotels near IOKI Memorial Museum, Saijo

It is a brown bright outer wall hotel, and the lobby and rooms are clean. There is a bath on the top floor, and the morning hot water while looking at the street is very refreshing. The convenience store next door was also convenient.

We used it as a pre-night stay to climb Mt. Ishigaki. Is the impression that there are many people staying in business? There are convenience stores and restaurants around, and it is a location that is not troublesome to eat. Even if there is something short, convenience stores are in front of you across the road, so you can get most things. The bed in the comfort room was large and sleepy, and the amenities were also available and I was able to spend without inconvenience. There was breakfast, but the meeting time on the day of the mountain climbing was early, so I was sorry that I couldn't get breakfast. The Goto campaign was applied on the reservation site, and I received a regional common coupon. If you are around the hotel, it was a paper describing where you can use it, and it was saved (as a result, it became a ropeway ticket...). Also, I forgot my clothes in the closet of the room, When I contacted, I kindly sent it to my home. Thank you.

It was good that there was a convenience store nearby in front of the station. Overall old impression, but there are ice, range, pots, etc. The price was cheap and satisfactory.

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 wa****su (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

The location is very convenient, right next to JR Iyo Saijo Station and easy to find. The clerk is also very friendly and enthusiastic. The room is clean and comfortable, normal level ~ the price is very good and well worth the money.

Thank you for your care on the way to the drive trip. Check-in was 20:00 and a subtle time, so I saw the meal at the restaurant in the building. Fortunately, there were many restaurants and convenience stores around, and there was no particular problem. I used a large bath after meals, but it is not a large bath. However, the quality of the spring was outstanding and the body was able to sleep well. I was glad to have sanuki Udon for some reason in the Viking Breakfast! The point that you can go directly from the three-dimensional parking lot to the front desk is also high.

It’s a love hotel, but the service and attention to details are way better than what you get in a normal hotel! Couples travelling should definitely try this, it might spark your relationship. Breakfast is great too!
