“Robust quality and value for money. Both for the rooms and the public baths.”
I cycled (jitensha) from Kagoshima to Sapporo and back to Tokyo kn around 50 days. Route Inn is my favourite hotel (apart from the family run ryokans) and Iwaki was the best Route Inn experience so far!

Location was great. Public bath was small and needed a code for women. Didn’t get new code for next day. No tattoo patches available anywhere.

“Terrible”
Went all around Japan and was going to Fukushima decided to stay in iwaki because it’s not to far from Tokyo by express train, just save your money and go to the tokoyo inn across the street

“Clean, comfortable business hotel at good value.”
Free breakfast with many choices. Yukata and slippers you can wear to sleep and walk down to the restaurant for breakfast. Bathroom and toilet was a good size compared to those in Tokyo. Supplied air purifier and strong ventilation fan reduced any cigarette smoke very quickly. The latte machine beside the elevator is a nice touch. Walking distance to the town center, station and convenience stores. Cheap overnight parking.

“Very good price for a nice hotel”
I participated at the Iwaki Sunshine marathon and stayed in this hotel for just one night. The staff was really kind, but I can't assure they can help you in English. They have paid parking lot (500yen per day) and despite the hotel being very busy (lots of people running the marathon) and we arriving quite late in the day, we did not have any issues getting a spot for our car. The room was cozy, overall clean (I found some small mold spots near the ceiling of the bathroom, but I don't really mind that). They also have a public bath which I unfortunately could not enjoy. The breakfast was good, it has everything you normally find in continental breakfasts. It was quite busy, but we did not have any issues finding a place to seat etc. The hotel is very close to the Iwaki station, so there are many options for eating (most of them were Izakayas, but we also found some nice Italian restaurants). Iwaki station is connected to the JR Joban line, which goes all the way down to Tokyo, so it is very convenient to get there by train as well (although Joban line can be pretty hectic). I think for the price, this is a very good hotel to stay!

“A good value for money stay with great amenities.”
The breakfast was terrific, we enjoyed the range of food available from scrambled eggs, bacon, salad to some basic Japanese breakfast essentials like fish, tamagoyaki and miso soup. The public bath is basic, but it's a public bath and one cannot complain. What I loved about the male side is the shaving cream provided with the razor. That was a nice plus for a morning shave while taking the bath. Many onsen ryokans don't even provide shaving cream. The clientele looks mostly male, so my wife had the public bath all to herself and she was very pleased. The parking is a lift-type system and it works well, but please be careful that there is a limitation on car size (width is 2050cm). My car barely fit but it did so I'm happy!

“Not recommended”
The hotel is right next to the JR station. It also comes with a free buffet breakfast, which is more than good given it is a budget hotel. The top floor comes with a hot bath (not Onsen), which is quite relaxing.
