SOIL Setoda

Located almost half way on the Shimanami Kiado steps from the sea in a quite little town. The room was minimal. The hotel doesn’t offer amenities and only two coffee bags and no milk. Checkin wasn’t till 4pm and after a long day cycling in summer an earlier check in would have been appreciated. What we payed for a small amount of time in the room was high. We also had a shared bathroom and toilet. The restaurant was underneath the rooms and you could hear people talking.

Really liked the style of the accommodation. Liked the wooden decor. It was comfortable, and well-designed. Beautiful setting and centrally located. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Beautiful room - enjoyed the soaking tub. Nice stop before riding the shimanami kaido.

Location and staff were great but amenities were lacking. No toothbrush? Check-in time only between 4-8 pm? Property had no onsen? These are pretty standard items for Japanese hotels and for the price, they should have been provided.

Amazing spot! Great rastaurant downstairs, make sure to try the food for breakfast lunch and dinner! The hotel store carries a lot of great local goods, and theres a bike rack for those of you biking through. Its right across the street from the port, so if you need to head back to the mainland, its super easy and convenient to hop on in no time.

Spacious clean room. Super friendly staff. Relaxed vibe great coffee

This was an amazing find for a stop halfway on the famous bike ride . We stayed in the 4 person room which was capsule style and brand new . It was extremely comfortable with all of the necessary amenities and the shower had fantastic water pressure. The staff were very helpful and the restaurant served gorgeous food . We stayed one night ( 2 adults, 2 teenagers) but would happily have stayed longer

Basic but good. Aesthetics was very good. It was a bit noisy, but otherwise as good as expected

Great location! We enjoyed our stay, especially the location and restaurant. We had a double with private bath and view of harbor. The room was basic but clean with a nice water view.

部屋も綺麗でしたし、スタッフの方もとても親切で快適に過ごすことができました

過ごしやすい清潔な宿でした。一階のライブラリーも素敵です。

The staff were pleasant. The room was down a dark alley and tricky to find. In a separate building two blocks from the main accommodations. There was a septic smell which took four hours to disappear! The room was unfinished plywood, difficult to figure out the heating system. Not impressed!

Great base for bicycle trips from Setoda on the Shimanami kaido route. Great hotel right next to the harbor of Setoda and very helpful personal.

地元商店街活性化の一環でおしゃれな宿を作って、地元商店街に送客して、というコンセプトはいいが、金額が見合っていない。 ウェブサイトも宿泊に関する説明が全然足りないと思った。 お盆の時期なのも悪かった。 素泊まりで、商店街の中の隣の美容室の看板しか見えない戸建て2階で、1階は造作中で、非常にコンパクトすぎる居室。海が見えなかったら話にならない。湯船ない。それで1泊2人で約3万円。銭湯があるのは知ってたが、こちらもおしゃれ銭湯で1人1100円。朝食は1000円。夕食をみなとやで頼むならコースで7000円。弁当は800円。 チェックインはメインの宿泊施設の隣で説明してくれたが、説明がシンプルで伝わりにくい。ここで楽しんでねというおもてなし感をスタッフから感じられなかった。情報をあまり持っていないし、こっちのコンセプト知って来てますよね？という感じがしました。 銭湯のYubuneも同じ。おしゃれでシンプルだがスタッフは不親切。 おもてなし感を感じたのは商店街の料理屋さんやコロッケ屋さん。あなご重、天ぷら、地元の冷酒が美味しかったです。

Every thing was great. Room lighting is very dim. Toilet button was not working.

The location is amazing: right along the middle of the Shimanani Kaido and the island is very scenic. There is a Buddhist temple nearby that is cool to check out, if you catch it in the spring at the right time the Sakura blossoms are breathtaking. The laundry is convenient and it's a flat 500yen fee to use it, even if you do multiple loads. If you are arriving by car there's a free parking you can use. The address is in the check in instructions and it's a 2 minute walk from the actual hotel. Now to a couple nitpicks. There was a place to park my rental bicycle but I had to lock it to a stair post. It's not like there an actual bike rack. The door handles to the rooms are made of wood, which is a cool aesthetic but doesn't work as well as a door handle. It got to loose and fell out one time but I was just able to shove it back on and shove in both handles on each side of the door to tighten it up.

Very cool place. Several different buildings with lodgings above them. Decor and interior design was beautiful

It was spacious, artfully designed. Loved the use of materials. Dining was conveniennt and so was Onsen. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
