Hotel in zona Tempigu Ruins, Naha

I booked the hotel as the base for my solo Okinawa trip after a great stay at its Kyoto branch. Firstly, the pros: great location. 5-min walk from Asahibashi Monorail Station, 3-min walk to Tourist Visitor Centre and Naha Bus Terminal, 13-min walk to Kokusai-dori made it convenient for city sights, dining and souvenirs, bus daytrips and boat tours. Interior lobby, rooms and 13F public bath lounge seemed new and decorated in soothing natural tones, giving the hotel an island resort feel. Having said that, several major cons make me not wish to stay here again: 1) Hotel reception staff can be more welcoming. They declined me room entry at 130pm (which is typical in Japan) but they did so without offering help to store my luggage upon arrival or deliver it to my room by the time I return for check-in. They also declined my river view room request, citing the category I booked only has city view. Later, I found out on my own that only twin or triple rooms offer the river view. I was not expecting an automatic upgrade, but it would be nice if I had been offered a clear explanation on room categories or a change to river view room (even if I have to pay extra). I felt disadvantaged as a solo traveller. Also, staff are easily nervous when interacting with international guests and could not really handle simple questions in English, like whether there is a public bath, is it open to all guests, or how guests can pay for additional breakfast during their stay. I also observed them struggling to understand a request in English from two foreign guests who wished to borrow a luggage weight scale. Two senior staff members came out to help the reception staff, but all three still took a while to understand the request. 2) I was queueing behind the same foreign guests to raise urgent feedback regarding loud banging noises made by the 10F Smoking Room door directly above my room (Room 913). Meanwhile, 2 local Japanese guests arrived at the reception. I observed one male staff member ignore me and asked them to approach the counter instead. I nearly walked up to them but I held myself back. It was my first time being treated differently in all of Japan. This different treatment of guests added a seriously unpleasant feeling to my stay. 3) Not all room lights can be manually or motion-controlled. The light above the clothes rack is too bright and always on, even when the master switch is off. It was hard to fall asleep at night. The hotel should modify this room detail to ensure all guests can get a good night's rest. Will I stay here again? With the issues above and many other good hotels nearby, most likely not. The hotel decor may be warm and inviting, but the staff inability to communicate effectively with all guests and make them comfortable makes for a cold stay.

L’hotel stesso era bello! Un po’ difficile da trovare, dal momento che il lobby è al quarto piano, e il bagno aveva delle belle caratteristiche, ma si sentiva molto vecchio. In generale, per un soggiorno di una notte, era adatto.

Small but wonderful room with its most amazing most amazing shower system literally from head to toe. Breakfast was great and there is free flow of soft drinks and one alcoholic drink per pax from mid afternoon till night at L1 restaurant. Parking is approximately 700 yen per night and there is a 500 yen restaurant voucher if you opt out daily cleaning.

l'hotel non dispone di servizi quindi ho messo 1 stella. l'hotel è a circa 5 minuti a piedi dalla fermata dell'autobus e dall'aeon maxvalue (supermercato), a 20 minuti a piedi dal terminal degli autobus di Naha (a 2 fermate di autobus), la camera è pulita, la colazione è pane e burro. il personale è cordiale.

It’s a hotel with two pools, which was nice. My husband used the hot spring and bath and said it was great. There’s a bar on the top floor with a nice view of the city. However, we did not go there. We had a car with us the whole time we were there and Parking was ¥1500 per day. Walkable distance to a city beach. There isn’t a convenience store nearby so make sure to bring things back with you when you’re out. There are a few restaurants scattered around. The hotel actually provides a map to show you where they are. The breakfast was great with a good selection of traditional Japanese style breakfast as well as some western food. But it was always busy before 8am. I guess most guest there early birds.

La posizione e l'igiene dell'hotel sono ottime ed è vicino alla stazione della metropolitana leggera. Al piano di sotto c'è Donki. Chiude alle 3 del mattino e l'hotel può andare direttamente al 2° piano di Donki. Se hai bisogno urgente, puoi andare a Donki per acquistarlo. Dato che l'hotel offre un servizio self-service, il personale di servizio è molto ridotto. Abbiamo dovuto aspettare molto tempo prima di poter effettuare il check-in quel giorno. Inoltre, poiché siamo una famiglia di quattro persone, abbiamo prenotato un quattro-. persona, ma la stanza era troppo piccola Dopo aver disfatto i bagagli, non c'è molto spazio per camminare, ma se è una stanza per due o tre persone, c'è abbastanza spazio. L'hotel fornisce spazzolini da denti, pettini, ecc. Potete ritirarli vicino al banco del check-in. Tuttavia, l'unico inconveniente è che non forniscono acqua in bottiglia perché a molti ospiti non piace far bollire l'acqua da soli. Nel complesso buono. 

Hotel nuovo, camere grandi e spaziose, pulite e accoglienti, posizione molto comoda. Personale di servizio cordiale La colazione a buffet è molto buona, davvero deliziosa, nelle vicinanze ci sono minimarket, ristoranti, farmacie, grandi magazzini, ecc.

Room was a bit cramped, there were 3 beds in the room and that’s plenty but made the room too small and definitely hard to move around in. We had to climb over the bed to get to the table and chair they cramped in there. The limitless pool was nice but you would need to pay additional cost per day and it can add up quick. If you plan on staying long, bring more clothes because the laundry machines are small and pretty useless, my clothes were still wet at 2 hrs of drying. The parking isn’t complimentary which is weird especially since you’re staying there but you still have to pay to park there. Overall, it’s a 3 out of 5 in my opinion.

The room is spacious in Japan standard. All the facilities are tidy and clean. The receptionist is very helpful, and quickly arranged taxi booking to airport. The location is good for shopping with big mall and supermarket around.

L'hotel inaugurato di recente l'anno scorso è infatti la versione Premier Sebbene sia orientato al business, il layout generale è già Next Level. Come posso dirlo, dopo aver soggiornato qui per due giorni, mi sono sentito più come a casa che in un hotel. È davvero incredibile che uno spazio di poco più di 20 metri quadrati possa essere ricavato in un bagno separato, un WC separato e una camera da letto. È una perfetta combinazione di creatività, funzionalità e praticità e devi ammirare l'originalità del design. Sovvertendo l'impressione precedente dei tradizionali hotel d'affari, il tuo soggiorno sarà confortevole e accogliente. La reception dell'hotel fornisce caffè, articoli da toeletta e campioni di cura, che possono essere ritirati da soli. Anche la posizione è impeccabile. C'è un minimarket al piano di sotto, una caffetteria e una libreria accanto, e il grande magazzino Main Place di fronte. È molto vicino alla stazione della metropolitana leggera di Omoromachi e al DFS, e può essere raggiunto in a pochi minuti a piedi.
