Overall Ratings & Reviews I-Link Hostel & Cafe Shimanami

The toilet and shower areas are impeccably clean and well equipped

Good place for stay overnight if riding Shimanami Kaido over two days. Don't miss the set menu dinners at their cafe. You get an appetizer (more like three), a salad, a soup, a main dish with rice and a dessert for under 2000 yen, and the meal was excellent.

Comfortable and relaxed hostel. Originally only planned to stay for one night, but extended my stay to three nights and used the place as a base to explore the surrounding islands. Having a convenience store (Family Mart) right opposite the hostel was also very …convenient!

This was a wonderful hostel. Very clean and very safe, it was a delight. The staff was wonderful, as was the dinner.

The place was amazing. comfortable and conveniently located to the bicycle route. The roof was delicious and well presented. We enjoyed the ocean and sunset. Walkable from the hotel.

Very clean well run hostel.. best that I have stayed at

The hostel offers dinner which is good considering the lack of options nearby. Food is a little expensive but it came as a full course meal with a unique sakura dessert. Other guests were generally quiet but since the rooms/pods only have a curtain to close them you can hear noises clearly

Very clean and new. This time of year the cafe was closed and dinner had to be reserved. Warmer months would be better.

Great little spot, would totally stay again the place is so new and clean! and the onsen down the road has a great view of the bridge from the outside onsen!

Clean facility with good amenities - convenient location near main bike trail and directly across FamilyMart

In room bike storage and coin-laundry service.

Nice place. Good affordable menu.

スタッフ間の連携が取れていなかった。初めてなのに前も来たことがあるみたいな対応で、説明の省略をされそうだった。

Friendly staff and delicious dinner

Very clean, great dinner, great rooms and attentive staff!

All facilities were in top shape, very friendly staff and delicious dinner options. All beds/rooms are arranged like “capsules” with lockable curtains providing a modicum privacy, but of course let every noise through. That goes for single beds, single bed rooms and twin rooms. Regardless, would highly recommend for 1 night stays!

What a well-designed, welcoming and pristine Hostel! Two suggestions: 1) a "lights out"/Quiet time suggestion or enforcement of some sort. The "rooms" are curtained off cubbies, perfectly fine, but our neighbor across from us kept his light on and was noisy throughout the night and so we didn't sleep well, despite the beds' comfort. 2) uniform temperature for the facility was kept very warm, making top bunk area particularly hot. Suggest small, quiet fans for each bunk to help regulate temps to individual preference levels.

The dinner service was fantastic, and the Limoncello Mojito absolutely delicious!

The property was very close to the cycling route. The dinner menu set options were fantastic and the food itself was delicious.

Exceptional property. Highly recommend
