Even though I arrived just before the last check-in time, I was given a detailed explanation of how to use the food shops, public baths, and other facilities around Cyclo's house. I was very grateful that two staff members were there to see me off on my cycling trip. I was asked to come again, so I hope to go again. Perhaps because it is a popular guesthouse, I was able to make a reservation a week in advance and was able to slip in just in time, so next time I would like to make a reservation with plenty of time in advance.

When I asked to use bicycle storage, I was treated rudely by a male staff member wearing glasses.This is the only bad memory of a fun trip.

The other day, when I went on my first Shimanami Kaido cycling trip, I used this guest house "Cyclo no Ie"!When I checked in in the evening, I was very impressed by the kind and warm welcome I received.It was my first time staying at a guesthouse, and the room was very clean.The shower rooms and toilets are clean, and some are reserved for women, so I think women will appreciate these points.As mentioned in other people's reviews, they kindly and carefully gave me information about the Imabari area, which was very helpful. I had dinner with a friend on the night of my stay, and I would like to thank you for helping us find a good restaurant for dinner! ! !It's really close to Imabari Station, and of course it's also close to a bicycle rental place, so I think it's a great location for cyclists.I'm embarrassed to say that I first searched for the hotel on Google Maps and chose it because of the low price, but the price for one night without meals, including services, was quite cheap. I feel that.As a side note, on the day of my cycling trip, it was raining and it was pretty drab, so after returning the rental bike and before checking in, I went to the nearby super public bath "Kisuke no Yu" to freshen up before heading to Cyclo's House.It was also a guest house that I would like to use when visiting for cycling.thank you very much.

July 2023 AccommodationIt was a very comfortable accommodation, with good access right in front of Imabari Station!The staff were very nice, and we had a delicious dinner with a handwritten map of Imabari that showed us recommended restaurants.There was a beautiful common room on the first floor, a space where travelers could talk, have a drink, and relax.There is also a washing machine and space to hang laundry.The bed is comfortable and clean, and it's a very cozy guest house, so much so that I want to stay there again right now 😊
