A good place to stop off doing the bike ride but one day is enough.
Pros:

Nice place to stay but room is small.
The restaurant attached is also nice but very small selection for breakfast and not many other options around.

Cons:

The 4pm check in time is late and they weren’t flexible on this.

Best places to stay in the area
Pros:

The design and layout of the community buildings. The staff were super nice and friendly. The bed was comfortable and having the sento public bath was super nice. The food was excellent!!

Cons:

The shades don’t make the room completely dark. It was okay for me but might bother some people. Would be nice to have a tv…..

A design-led oasis for anyone who wants to experience the elegance and beauty of this area
Pros:

Soil Setoda is our favourite stay on our one month trip. The food was amazing, the location is outstanding - this is one of those special places that’s not over run by tourism. It’s incredibly sensitive to the area, it seems to be contributing positively to the community, and the other visitors seem to be like minded and respectful of this special place. It will hold a special place in our hearts in years to come

Cons:

Nothing

Absolutely fantastic
Pros:

This hotel and its associated concepts (bookstore, restaurant, etc) are so chic and cool - breathtaking really. And the food. Wow wow wow. It’s a hotel you would imagine in the hippest area of California or New York- but this is way better

Cons:

That I only booked one night.

Beautiful location, exceptional staff, and clean calm rooms
Pros:

Great location, very clean, well organised. We liked the little library and the bathhouse very much. The restaurant is a beautiful location and very fun to enjoy meals there.

Cons:

Staying in a private dorm-style room with children was good and bad. The beds were comfortable and we slept great! But there was no space to store bags. More hooks in the bathroom would allow for all towels to be dried properly. There could be more smart storage worked into the design for such a tight space with small shelves, hooks, and under bed storage use. Better photos of the dorm-style room would prepare guests better for what to expect.

Pros:

I would highly reccomend a stay at Soil Setoda, especially if you are riding the Shimanami Kaido. It's a great halfway stop. The island has a lot of things to see and do. Staff at Soil are very friendly and helpful, rooms are exceptionally clean and comfortable.

Cons:

Nothing, it was great
