Katahara 3 Stars Hotels

"Great hotel for the start of our Shimanami Kaido adventure. The staff is friendly and helpful. Accommodations were great, we enjoyed the onsen available in the hotel and the close proximity to Imabari Station "

"We loved the beautiful onsen spa!"

"Clean room with many extra toiletries provided. Pet friendly is limited. We spoke with someone after making reservation to ask what we needed to bring. My father in law spoke with someone and gave them our name. When we went to check in there wasn’t a room available for dog. They did give us a smoking room with a dog crate on the third floor. They said dogs were only allowed on first floor. We heard another dog on the third floor. Also we were charged $150 hot springs tax. I don’t see this listed anywhere. And we never had the time to use it."

"My favorite"

"Good the hotel had a great price. Breakfast was nice. Staff was amazing, they gave me a towel to wipe down my bike and let me keep it in the room."

"Very nice and accommodating "

"the hotel is place just near the jr station that made a good point"

"We only stayed one night as a stop over. Ice was available in Lobby. The location is next to the station. "

"We came here for the biking and loved this hotel. It’s not easy to get to by public transport. You’ll want a taxi. The rooms are nice and large by Japan standards. The food was amazing. You don’t pick from a menu but they serve many different kinds of food. It is seafood focused. So if you don’t like seafood it might not be the place for you. We love Japanese style food so we were amazed. Definitely a highlight of our trip. "
