During our pilgrimage along the 88 Temples Trail, staying at JR Clement Uwajima was one of the most pleasant and revitalizing experiences we had. Before facing a challenging 30 km stage, we treated ourselves to a stay here — and it couldn’t have been better. I’ve worked in hospitality for over ten years and rarely have I found such kind, thoughtful, and professional staff. The services offered are truly outstanding: free happy hour, 24-hour coffee and drinks, a smoking area on every floor, vending machines, microwaves, and beautiful, well-curated amenities. The room was extremely comfortable, with a great bed and a spacious, modern shower. You can feel the attention to detail and the guest’s well-being. Also, the location is strategic, perfect for exploring the area. My sincerest compliments to the hotel manager and the entire staff: a wonderful example of Japanese hospitality.

Unbeatable location for train travelers - same building as the train station. My room was facing the front of the building (not the rail tracks side), and the noise of trains was not an issue at all (you might want to pay attention to this detail when booking). "Welcome free drink service", with both alcoholic and alco-free drinks. No mind-blowing selection, but still a nice touch. Walking distance to Uwajima Castle, and Ryuko-in temple (which is a very nice place to pay a short visit) is located almost on the other side of the street. The hotel has a bit of an "old fashion feel", especially the front desk floor/area, but it is not anything which would deserve landing in the "negative" section; it even brings a kind of nostalgic touch if you are in for such things. I stayed in dozens of budget/business hotels across Japan and after a while it is really difficult if at all possible to recall anything unique about any of them because they are so "generic". This one is at least that tiny tad different and I liked it :-)

It’s a classic japanese business hotel but with classy service. I felt like in 5* hotel. Staff is very pleasant, breakfast is super delicious (you can choose between two full japanese sets and one continental). There’s also a free welcome drink with unlimited refill (can be alcoholic if chosen between 18:00-20:00). It is directly connected to JR station but it is quiet do don’t worry. Bed an pillows are super comfy. 7eleven is right next door and all Uwajima restaurants are easily walkalble.

Nothing!

Great breakfast- both western and Japanese Complimentary drinks at self serve bar in restaurant was a welcome surprise The front desk staff helped us book a restaurant for dinner. Definitely highly recommend

The hotel is connected to the JR Station. The staff were courteous and efficient. The room was perfect size for one person . Quiet town but lots to see, do and eat close to hotel.

Loved everything about this hotel - only thing missing is an onsen.

Right above the train station so very easy to drop your things off when you reach town then get out and explore. This is a basic hotel but it's nice and clean.

The sound of train engines is quite loud when they are parked in the station.

Room was clean and comfortable. We had 2 choices for breakfast - western style and Japanese style. 24 hours welcome hot drinks & self-service free wine/drinks in the evening

Proximity to rail service and cultural sites.

I always like to be able to open windows to let fresh air in, but I understand the impracticality of this.

Local very good, next to train station. Has everything we needed, plus we enjoyed the extra amenities in the foyer - tea, coffee, bath salts, etc ☺️

Situated at the station. We used the bicycles to go to dinner which was a change from walking. We could have as much tea and coffee in our room. The bathroom was a bit bigger than usual too.

Unfortunately there were no washing machines on site. I found one gentleman at reception not very helpful at all.
