Awesome location, very trendy design, the restaurant always smelled amazing, very friendly staff
Beds were uncomfortable, mattresses were old and we could feel all the springs
Excellent, goûteux et vraiment bon.
Les repas sont excellents mais les prix sont trop élevés pour le Japon.
Great location, beautiful onsen (in neighboring hotel)
wonderful food in the restaurant (we had breakfast and dinner there)
The beds were really uncomfortable..
We loved this very cool, modern, minimalistic small hotel. The room we had was cleverly designed with different levels incorporating a lounge, bench space, comfy bed and bathroom. The hotel is in a perfect spot to stop halfway on the Shimanami Kaido cycle path.
The staff are fantastic. Friendly, welcoming and extra helpful. The restaurant on site is very special too. Meals are cooked on an open fire and were delicious.
Nothing. It’s fabulous.
It was a very stylish and comfortable accomodation, well located with a great view.
The tiny shared toilet.
Location and breakfast
The hotel receptionist was very kind and got us organized upon arrival. They also received our bags that were sent ahead of us as we were cycling without issue.
I was also very impressed with how the bartender poured beer, it is a subtle and often overlooked art to do it perfectly.
I feel this place takes themselves a little too seriously for the quality they actually provide.
Despite being paying customers both staying in the accommodation and for dinner, we didn't exactly feel welcome by most of the staff. As hospitality owners ourselves we know it is important to make all guests feel welcome, no matter how humble or important they may appear. Stung a bit extra after cycling hours in the rain to get there.
The food at the restaurant was also decidedly average. Not bad by any means, but there is a high expectation in Japan and this place presents itself as elevated both in style and in price.
The layout of the property is a little difficult as well, your room is quite small. Essentially a pod and a narrow strip to navigate in-between. This is fine, I understood the situation ahead of time, but on a rainy day they wasn't really a common area on the property. The downstairs is the restaurant which prioritzes their dinner service (as they should of course), but that leaves limited space to really be anywhere other than your sleeping pod on a rainy day.
Perhaps with better weather the overall experience would have been better but this was ours.
老人向きではなかつたようです。
私たちが宿泊先の選考間違いでした。
A lovely hotel with good facilities and a great restaurant. Staff are lovely too.
Not a big deal but our room was very light at night so a sleep mask would be helpful.
It was well located just off the Shimanami Kaido, with lovely staff and an excellent restaurant, which made the whole experience wonderful! The baths close by were also great
The bed was too small for 2 people to sleep comfortably
Really lovely concept rooms were creative but with quality fixtures eg light controls and toilets
Minor point as this is Japan I let them know ahead that I was vegan and wasn’t well catered for in the restaurant just bread and salad as the veg was cooked on the same grill as meat
Excellent location. The room is very comfy.
We could smell dashi soup about 5am in the morning :)
For our epic, 17-day Japan trip, we were looking for a range of hotel experiences. The SOIL Setoda provided us a comfortable, glamping/'capsule-type' hotel experience, consisting essentially of a discrete bunk-style arrangement (self-contained in our own secure room with adjacent shared bathroom. After a long day cycling the famous Shimanami Kaido route, bringing with us limited baggage (just our backpacks), this was honestly perfect and intended. All the more so because the hotel's restaurant, just downstairs from our front door, was excellent, friendly and truly hip. We had some wonderful conversations and excellent food with there and would have eaten everything off their menu were it not for the size of our bellies.
While we appreciate and understand that the bathroom and shower facilities are shared (ie. first come, first served) and were of excellent Japanese standards with a unique artisan charm, we think they should be a little larger to navigate. The toilet room is what I would equate to being a 'cute phone booth' in size (think economy-class airline bathroom). The separate shower room is a 'slightly' more reasonable size.
SOIL was clean and well maintained in a fantastic location. Staff were friendly and welcoming.
Nothing.
