Lovely clean and well-equipped hostel

Great location just off the bridge coming into Omishima, across the road from a Family Mart looking across the sea. Helpful receptionists and staff who spoke English and Japanese, giving very clear instructions. Rooms were very clean and well organised especially for a hostel. The bunk bed was very spacious and ample space for both the top and bottom bunk, each room felt very private even with just a sliding door and curtain (everyone was respectful and kept things quiet). Amazingly everything you could need for your stay is provided - slippers, common toiletries, toothbrush, pajamas, towels, razor, extra blankets, hair dryer, iced water and hot tea at the reception. We booked dinner with our stay which was lovely - soup, sashimi, salad, rice with chicken katsu and sakura mochi.

A little pricey for a hostel but given the quality of what was provided, well deserved!

Great hostel

Very beautiful and fun place. Everything you need is there. Although it is a hostel, it felt luxurious.

At night is it quite hot in the rooms.

如果有小朋友要入住的，建議要可以控制自己音量的孩子，此hostel才可以接受入住，主要原因是環境是布簾，沒有隔音設備，怕孩子的音量影響其他住客的住宿品質，環境很乾淨，並且對面有一間全家，但不可把便利商店物品帶入旅店中，建議在全家外的木桌用完

晚上的用餐份量充足且價格合理

Would gladly stay here again and highly recommend. Don't be put off by it being a hostel.

Our first hostel on this trip. It was wonderful! Clean, lockable drawers in room, could arrange to eat in cafe or walk across the street to konbini to buy something to eat and sit in the covered area overlooking the water. Although shared showers, two were reserved only to be used by women and all were private, with door and place to put dry clothes. Had anticipated the height of the bunkbed, which I wouldn't want to try to climb down in the middle of the night. Great place to lock up bikes, or could have brought into our room.

So far beyond our expectations. Was a great place to stay after a long day's bike ride.

Very nice hostel but pricey

Great modern hostel. Clean and very nice food.

Rooms have a sliding partition curtain which can be locked from the inside- this allows prized bicycles to be stored in your room (if you don’t want to use the ample outdoor space). The curtains mean that you need to use earplugs (which are kindly provided). Not a criticism but the top bunk is unsuitable for young children due to height and gaps between the bars, probably ok for 10yrs +. The cost is pricey for a hostel space and I needed to book two rooms to accommodate and adult and two children. The children would’ve been able to share the large double bottom bunk but this was not allowed so the total price was over ¥28,000 for one night not including meals. Families may choose to go elsewhere.

Amazing hostel

Really modern and very clean,everything that you need for an over night stay whilst doing the bike route.The photos on booking.com don't do it justice,we were really impressed 7/11 convenience store across the road Staff very helpful and friendly Nice outside area to sit out Bike storage and is locked at night

Possibly could offer a light breakfast,but saying that store across the road

瀬戸内海を満喫、サイクリストに優しい宿

2回目の利用なので、色々と勝手が分かっていたのもありますが、大変快適に過ごせました。ドミトリーの天井が高く、ほぼ個室状態でゆったりできるのが有難いです。タオルや室内着、耳栓などアメニティも充実していて助かります。

今回はそこまで気になりませんでしたが、やはりいびきがの声が大きい方がいるのは仕方ないですね・・・ゲストハウスならではということで、耳栓使って眠りました。

Everything.

A charge was made to my payment card even though I had chosen to pay in cash when I was booking. They should have asked and given a choice. ================= Dear guests. This does not only apply to this hostel: ! Please behave with others in mind, if you have to set an alarm then get your ass up after the first alarm clock instead of waking everyone up with your naps. • Try to speak quietly and especially after 10 p.m. Mute the sound of your phone, not everyone brainwashes with TikTok. • When leaving the bathroom, the toilet: close the door, switch off the light, possibly leave the ventilation on.

A cyclist's sanctuary offering impressive amenities and a GREAT dinner

If you're riding the Shimanami Kaido, it's a perfect location and obviously set up for cyclists. There are even wall hooks in the room for storing your bike! I also strongly suggest buying the dinner, it greatly exceeded my expectations.

Really the only negative was being able to fairly easily hear all the folks sleeping in nearby rooms, but it's a hostel. Don't forget your earplugs. A breakfast option would also have been nice, but the Family Mart across the street was a decent plan B.

Very good

The location, cleanliness, staff and bike facilities were great at the I-Link hostel. We were cycling the bridges over 2 days and this location was perfect for our mid-point stopover. The nearby local Onsen offered a relaxing and much needed hot soak. We chose a 'twin bunk bed room' but in hindsight, as a couple, and for the small increase in price, would have been better off with 2 single rooms, thus avoiding the steep ladder climb. The evening food was substantial and hit the spot, but I wouldn't say overly fabulous, but that maybe because all the options were deep fried (the 1 steamed fish option had finished for the night) and I personally can struggle a bit with too much deep fried fare. It was fine though and meant we didn't need to go hunting elsewhere.

Comfortable and convenient stopover for cyclists! Clean/good facilities and great dinner.

Convenient location and great dinner. There aren't many options for food around the area (really have to time things), but why take the risk when the dinner is fantastic here. The Family Mart across the road was also good for stocking up before hitting the road. Room is basically a sleeping pod (there are other options) but much larger than any capsule hotel. Sleep wear is provided, common room has free green tea. Staff were very helpful and friendly, it is the nicest 'hostel' I've ever stayed at before.

No negatives, just things to be aware of: - My large suitcase almost didn't fit in the locker (but that's on me), so if you don't really need it just send it on to your next accommodation. - It is a hostel so facilities are shared, depending where your room is it may be a bit of a walk to the toilet each time.

Great rest stop for 2 day cycling journey through Shimanami Kaido.

Perfect rest stop for the 2 day cycling journey through Shimanami Kaido. Had an onsen, family mart nearby, and their cafe food was decent. Lockers were provided, and a peaceful place to stay and recuperate. They even had a place to lock your bike.

Nothing, perfect.

Superb

Extremely comfortable twin room with interesting building layout. Very clean, and comfortable, and very nice bathrooms and showers. Nice touches like free pyjamas. You're able to take your bike into your room if you want. There is also a very good Family mart opposite with nice seating if you're trying to eat for cheap.

Maybe a bit more expensive than usual hostels of the same level, but you can see why, and you still get value for what you're paying.

Clean, comfortable and detail oriented hostel

This is such a cozy hostel. We were there in December and it was nice to stay in a warm, cozy place. After a long day of biking, the showers are the best! The restaurant is delicious and reasonably priced. The staff is so kind and helpful. I highly recommend this place, especially for bikers looking for a comfortable bet and delicious meal.

Nothing! It’s amazing.

Marvellous stop for cycling on Omishima. Had a great rest.

This place was an excellent place for me to rest after riding the shimanami kaido. While there wasn't anything nearby, they serve food and the accommodation was superb. The room was nice and spacious for a capsule. You can even bring you bike in. The bathroom’s cleaniness was immaculate.

Could've had more food choices but this wasn't really a con because I came for the accommodation
