“The facility is very new with a great restaurant and very helpful staff”

Great restaurant that was open all day and served great coffee with oat milk. Superb dinners. Bike storage under cover Ability to use book shop as a sitting area outside our room

“Could have stayed longer.”

Everything like new. Restaurant and staff great.

Gorgeous view of the sea from our room. Very handy to eat at in house restaurant but recommend you book ahead. Food was great. Staff throughout were fabulous.

“A good place to stop off doing the bike ride but one day is enough.”

Nice place to stay but room is small. The restaurant attached is also nice but very small selection for breakfast and not many other options around.

“A design-led oasis for anyone who wants to experience the elegance and beauty of this area”

Soil Setoda is our favourite stay on our one month trip. The food was amazing, the location is outstanding - this is one of those special places that’s not over run by tourism. It’s incredibly sensitive to the area, it seems to be contributing positively to the community, and the other visitors seem to be like minded and respectful of this special place. It will hold a special place in our hearts in years to come

“Beautiful location, exceptional staff, and clean calm rooms”

Great location, very clean, well organised. We liked the little library and the bathhouse very much. The restaurant is a beautiful location and very fun to enjoy meals there.

Everything was so comfortable. The staff were incredibly welcoming and kind. Loved the towels too, a wee piece of luxury mid-cycle

I would highly reccomend a stay at Soil Setoda, especially if you are riding the Shimanami Kaido. It's a great halfway stop. The island has a lot of things to see and do. Staff at Soil are very friendly and helpful, rooms are exceptionally clean and comfortable.

“Wonderful stay along the Shimanami Kaido.”

Great location and clean, comfortable, modern rooms. Friendly and accommodating staff. Dinner at the restaurant Minatoya was excellent. The grilled deer and squid specials were particularly tasty and good value.

“Good location, friendly staff.”

Lovely staff. Great location. Lovely attention to detail. Also, interesting history of how they are trying to revive Setoda’s fortunes. Lovely little bookshop.

We loved the cosy bunks in the family room. Very clean. Breakfast downstairs was tasty and great to have before setting off on day two of our bike ride

“Beautiful hotel but disappointing experience”

Beautiful hotel and room. Really stylish and clean. Location is great. Latte and breakfast from the restaurant was good.

“Would thoroughly recommend!”

Excellent room, helpful staff, secure bicycle parking, access to Onsen.

“Great place to stop on the Shimanami Kaido”

The location is great and the layout of the rooms is perfect as although they are small you don’t feel cramped

“Cute spot in great location”

It was a quaint spot and a comfortable space. The view is great. Easy access to Shimanami kaido, ferry and bike rental. Friendly staff. Bath was nice.

“Great little place, close to everything you need, friendly staff”

Awesome location, very trendy design, the restaurant always smelled amazing, very friendly staff

Great location, beautiful onsen (in neighboring hotel) wonderful food in the restaurant (we had breakfast and dinner there)

“A delightful overnight stay.”

We loved this very cool, modern, minimalistic small hotel. The room we had was cleverly designed with different levels incorporating a lounge, bench space, comfy bed and bathroom. The hotel is in a perfect spot to stop halfway on the Shimanami Kaido cycle path. The staff are fantastic. Friendly, welcoming and extra helpful. The restaurant on site is very special too. Meals are cooked on an open fire and were delicious.

“A stylish and unique seaside accommodation”

It was a very stylish and comfortable accomodation, well located with a great view.
