Didn't use the parking, and unfortunately the pool was under renovation while we were there (too bad, it looked awesome), but really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Front desk staff were excellent (super helpful, pleasant, and professional), rooms were clean and comfortable, Japanese restaurant was great, and central location was very convenient.

We were very impressed with the Imabari Kokusai Hotel. It is truly an elegant property with a wonderful lobby and choice on-site restaurant choices. I especially enjoyed the huge ship models in the lobby, paying homage to Imabari's ship building industry.
We would not hesitate to stay again and will make time during our next visit to have a drink at the bar and soak in the view of the Seto Inland Sea at dusk.
The onsen was very relaxing and the pleasant buffet breakfast was a treat!

Professional and courteous service. Room spacious and amenities good. Choice of restaurants was great and the Japanese food was delicious. The only drawback was the heating system in the room which was permanently set at “too warm” and could not be adjusted.

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, amazing food in the hotel itself, near other amazing eateries, a laundromat if you decide not to use their cleaning service (chargeable) and reasonable walking distance to the local castle and museum, 12 minutes. Plenty of local cafes as well for variety. The local shopping alley evety summer holds festivals each saturday as well.

Reception staff was professional and very kind. Breadfast buffet was super, we enjoyed shio ramen and curry. Rice was so tasty. There is laundry shop nearby hotel, just 3-5 minutes walk, so no need to worry about laundry during long stay with family. There is Uniqlo as well in the same distance and can enjoy shopping there. Convinience store, Lawson, is also nearby.

No Rain No Rainbows
Stayed here after biking the Shimanami Kaido. Bags were waiting in my room thanks to the same delivery service from Onomichi. Rode straight to the hotel cause it rained for half the route and I got soaked. Reception didn’t bat an eye at my condition and welcomed me graciously and efficiently. Room had signs of wear and tear but was clean and spacious. King sized bed and room for another! Got cleaned up and then returned my bike to Imabari station which, be aware is quite a way in to the city after the last bridge crossing. @500 taxi ride back to the hotel from there and I passed out. Have not had a noisy hotel yet in my week in Japan and no exception here. Viking Style breakfast included. Quick checkout and nice walk to the station. Dino Arigato and Mahalo to the Kokusai for your hospitality
