โThe location is great, but the kitchen is old and we canโt figure out how to turn on the stove. Would appreciate if English instruction is provided.โ
โA female staff member at the front desk didnโt use polite language when asking about my nationality. Also, while I was waiting to check in and looking at my smartphone, she suddenly started explaining the check-in process without warning. I said I understood and went back to my phone, but she asked again if everything was okay. It was frustrating. Other than that, everything else was satisfying.โ
"Situated next to the Takamatsu Central Park and within walking distance of shopping and restaurants, there is also an airport bus stop right across the street. It is ideally situated.
The building appeared brand new to me as of September 2025. Everything was clean and new. The sauna is superb and has hot and cold baths, including one that has an outdoor feels with zen rocks. It also has a steam room and showers. And they give free ice pops. Actually the hotel offers free freshly made ramen from 9:30pm to 11pm, too. I was disappointed that they do not provide towels at the sauna. You have to bring your own from the room. I guess they are afraid of people stealing towels?
The breakfast was excellent. They had grilled salmon, shrimp tempura, beef curry, natto, pastries, miso soup, rice, vegetable dishes, and a very fresh salad bar. The miso soup was delicious and the kitchen staff were so nice and friendly. They were smiling all the time and so kind. Excellent kitchen team!
On the other hand, the front desk were not so friendly. I felt like they were annoyed and they almost never smiled. One looked liked she was terrified to speak English, so I avoided her. In general, they seemed competent and were indeed helpful. But they were not as nice as the kitchen staff.
The room was very clean and not too small for a budget hotel in Japan. I did not like the fire alarm light in the ceiling that kept me awake the first night staring directly at me in bed.
Great hotel overall!"
