SETOUCHI KEIRIN HOTEL 10 by Onko Chishin

A very distinctive bicycle-themed hotel with a vibrant colorful exterior. Although it is a little far from Uno Port (at least 20 minutes walk), a taxi costs 1,000 yen. On the first day, I gave the taxi ticket to the front desk and reimbursed it in cash on the spot. The hotel has a shuttle bus to the JR station, but it is after 10 o'clock every day and there are fewer buses, but you can ask the front desk to book a taxi. From the balcony, you can see the bicycle track and the sea in the distance, and the view is quite wide. The restaurant faces the track, and I saw athletes training during breakfast, which is very interesting. The Japanese buffet breakfast tastes very flavorful, I like it. When we checked in, we were told that there was a public bath, which was a bit unexpected. In my previous experience, it felt that only hot spring hotels had it. This time, the city chain hotels I stayed in Shikoku (this is the Chinese region) all have public baths, hot springs, etc. There are sportswear that can be worn in the public bath in each room, which feels like returning to my youth.

Clean and refreshing environment, pleasant, comfortable and warm

Stayed one night in an ocean view twin room (balcony) in October 2023 [Good points] - The view from the balcony of the room is amazing - The hotel's interior and exterior design is original, based on the concept of learning from the past - The food at the adjacent restaurant FORQ is delicious - Tamano is the only place where you can watch keirin races from the balcony - Good access to the art island of Naoshima [Points to note] - Dinner at the restaurant is shared with the general public, and reservations are required for windows, so we were unable to sit - The sea breeze is strong when watching from the balcony, and it is cold at night - There are vending machines, but they do not sell alcohol, so if you want to drink, it is better to bring your own - It is a bit of a tough distance to walk to the nearest supermarket or convenience store - Apparently you cannot watch from the balcony during the midnight keirin races - The large public bath is not available during the keirin races, only showers are available [Overall review] This hotel is recommended for people other than keirin fans. It is also recommended as a place to stay for sightseeing on the art island of Naoshima.

The room is clean and small. It costs 1,000 yen to take a taxi to Uno Port. You can ask the hotel to help you book a taxi or rent a bicycle.

The transportation is very convenient. There are many *****tores and food downstairs. A few steps away is Soneban Market, which has a similar feeling to Little Dotonbori. It is also easy to go to Umeda shopping district for shopping.

The location is terrible, far away from the station, and the room is small. I don't recommend it. In particular, the charging standard for double rooms is inexplicable. When two people stay, the price is almost double that of one person. So why not all single rooms? The waiter threatened to enter the room and count the guests' luggage to confirm the number of people. Could it be the boss? In particular, it is not recommended that Ctrip list hotels that are involved in ********. During the bicycle race, the TV in the room can only receive the live broadcast of the race and cannot watch it normally, and it repeatedly induces guests to place bets.

As you can see in the photo, the velodrome is right in front of you, and you can also see the ocean, giving it an extraordinary feeling. The standard room for one person is small, but it is comfortable and has a terrace. Also, the breakfast is delicious! It was also very pleasant to eat while looking out over the bicycle race track. However, the only problem was that it was far from the station...I don't think it's suitable for going to Naoshima or moving around for 25 minutes on foot. However, they will pay for the first taxi ride if you give them the receipt. Also, if there are no taxis at Uno Station at night, you can call one and they will come in 5-10 minutes.

Just like the description, very special design and matching, very comfortable. The location is very close to the pier and Uno Station, and it is very convenient to go to Naoshima Toshima.
