Facilities were great, room was new and well-designed to make the most use of the limited space. I did not feel that there wasn't enough space, even though the size of the room is probably similar to other hotels in general. View from the room was nice too where I could see the mountains in the distance. There was even a website to check how crowded the public bath was in real-time, so you can avoid crowded timings. There was a huge map in the lobby introducing various restaurants and shops nearby, which was helpful for exploring the neighbourhood. Location was good too, near enough to the centre of action and you can technically walk to the Obiyamachi shopping arcade (about 15 mins), though the area does get a little too quiet after sundown. There was a good spread at breakfast, you can have sea bream rice (a famous food in Ehime) and also yuzu french toast (Kochi is famous for yuzu).

Parking fee per night applies and the carpark is a little hard to find (you have to turn behind the hotel and look for the parking attendant).

The staff did a nice performance in the evening. There was some nice juice and tea to try at the entrance of the public bath Room was pretty with a nice view over the city There was a great map on the ground floor with recommendations for restaurants and places to visit.

Unfortunately we were too late with making a reservation for dinner, so we missed out on that. Breakfast coming in at 3000 yen is also a bit on the expensive side

The staff was incredibly friendly from the receptionist to the restaurant staff to the parking attendant; they all made us feel welcomed! The dinner was super delicious and we recommend it highly (well worth the price)! The room was clean, comfortable and spacious (the A/C worked great too)! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

The bathroom was a little small.

Double room was spacious and comfortable with a shower and separate toilet. Public bath was nice and clean with indoor and outdoor areas. Free cold drinks offered were refreshing.

Location is a little away from the centre. But iI enjoyed the stay and will stay again.

Helpful front desk staff ...likewise the breakfast staff... Breakfast selection good Quiet location but food access to centre

Room size a bit small for the price Bar in foyer closed at 9:50 .....and this during Yosakoi ....

Staff is helpful and friendly. Enjoyed the traditional dance show in the evening. Room was spacious and clean. Liked the amenities provided.

Room was a bit too warm even with air conditioning turned all the way cool either high fan.

Beautifully designed hotel, minimalist approach, Japanese style, onsen included, ease of check in/out, patient, professional and lovely staff.

Lack of vegetarian food for anyone arriving late and limited choice at breakfast for vegetarians.

Loved this hotel. Artsy design, nightly dance performances near the lobby, nice onsen with very good ginger and tea drinks, and the semi suite design is lovely too.

Not many eateries of walking distance

Loved our stay. View was amazing from our room. Bed was large and very comfortable. Room was very clean. Good parking on site and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would stay again.

Very clean new hotel. Spacious outdoor and indoor onsen (hot and cold baths) with sauna room. The Utahe semi-suite was comfortable and nice design with small tatami sitting area.
