Hotel Route-Inn Iyo-Saijo

The cleaning staff did a really good job. The sheets were clean and the room too. The front desk is kind and understanding. The breakfast staff is polite and there is a good variety of foods.

I used the hotel to hike Ishizuchisan, but it’s a 30min walk from Iyo-Saijo station BUT the hotels offers a shuttle car service during the weekdays.

Great breakfast/ clean rooms/ good bath

Distance from station.

Great location. Ample free car parking. And the staff were very welcoming.

The breakfast was not up to their usual standard. It was so bad I skipped it on the 2nd morning.

Parking, onsen, breakfast

The bed is not comfortable at all.

A very comfortable overnight stop. Lots of parking and room clean, breakfast was fine

Super clean and comfortable room. Despite it being a very standard Japanese hotel room, it does manage to exceed expectations in all the little details, from the quality bedding to the comfortable desk chair.Also the bathhouse stays open until 2am, super handy.

Location was very useful for me to walk the pilgrim routes to the nearby temples. The bus stop was nearby for the more challenging ones.The room was nice and early in the evening I could watch the fire crews practice their drills in the Fire station next door.It was interesting to see how very well trained they arè

Great location , good service , tasty breakfast

Staff were very friendly, and the breakfast buffet started nice and early. We went to the island to hike some of the mountains in the area, so it was a nice central spot not far from most food places and had decent parking

The bed was very uncomfortable, but we also got a cheaper room. Room was fairly small but we could fit all of our items and ourselves just fine. All in all worth it for what we paid.

I only received one breakfast ticket even though I had stayed for 2 nights. I had not received an explanation as to why I only received on ticket instead of two. Ultimately, I had so many committments that I did not use the one ticket I had, but I had expected to receive two breakfast tickets.

I didn't like that I had only receive one breakfast ticket even though I had paid for two nights with two breakfasts to my knowledge. I have never stayed at a hotel that only gives one for two nights.

It emitted a strong odor that resembled the smell of stale smoke, like the previous occupant had smoked in the room and it hadn't been cleaned properly. I had to keep the air purifier on throughout the night. It was a rather unpleasant experience.

Beds are comfortable

The hot bath is very basic and the breakfast just horrible. Japanese buffet is poor, no fresh fruits and almost no bread. The hotel is in industrial suburb without any nice restaurants around. The Route-Inn of Ofunato is much better.

A lot of restaurants and a convenience store within walling distance. The staff was very kind and helpful.

Good value. Walking distance to a variety of restaurants. Convenience store located directly across the street. Air conditioning was strong. Good breakfast variety. Flat parking and adequate amounts of parking spots.

Location, parking, price, bath, and breakfast.

Everything was fine.

The room was nice (non-smoking would have been better, but see above). Decent bed and good amenities. A regular business hotel. The small onsen was was great and very relaxing.

I (accidentally) stayed in a smoking room which made my stay less pleasant than it could have been. How smokers can sleep in rooms smelling of old smoke is a mystery to me.This was entirely my fault, but I didn't expect the night to be that bad...

Location was great for our travel purpose and convenient for shops and restaurants. A big car park was good as well.

The only disappointment was that they ran out of many things even coffee(!) before the breakfast time was over, which was very poor. If it's supposed to be served between 0630 and 0900, you should be able to enjoy your breakfast even if you turn up at 0900. We went to breakfast at 0830 and were made to feel that we were scraping off leftovers and a staff said, "no more coffee". . . He did apologize and offered to bring us some from the reception area where a coffee machine was provided (which we declined and did it by ourselves ) Receptionists apologized when we checked out and we could tell they were short-staffed and they were all very pleasant, so that didn't spoil our stay, but we could have started our day with a fuller tummy!

The hotel was set up for optimum virus protection, so we were glad we took the risk of staying here. Despite being given a twin room right above the major thoroughfare, because I'm a light sleeper, the staff allowed us to move to a room higher up, despite we had the GoToTravel discount. I really appreciated that! There were two hair dryers so we could both dry our hair at the same time. The breakfast was surprisingly ample buffet.

The disposable slippers provided could be in a more user-friendly location. Ours were in a dark corner in the back of the closet and we didn't find them until I dropped my card key while retrieving my coat on the way to breakfast. We didn't want to touch the well-worn reusable white vinyl slipper sandals.

Everything ok. Convenient for shopping and eating out.

Helpful & friendly staff
