Hotel Aqua Citta Naha

We chose this hotel for the pool and close proximity to both the monorail and the ferry ticket office. It was ideal for this reason. The pool was nice and quiet during the day. the ferry ticket office is just 1min walk away. several convenience stores close by. We went to Naminoue beach, about 25-30min walk away - we tried the bus according google maps but the bus didnt arrive as expected. For the rest, the hotel is clean and comfortable and decent size rooms. the washing machines are busy in the evening but convenient for use. The area around the hotel I wouldnt really recommend for families - its a little rundown and had a bit of a strange vibe, not as welcoming as other parts of Japan. Still clean and seems safe, but our least favourite area during our 3 week trip.

Check in is in a self service concept where you have to queue to access a kiosk to key in your check in details to be issued keycards to your room. Then you pick up the amenities you need form different baskets in the small lobby which was quite difficult to manoeuver with luggages and many people trying to check in. Room was quite small space was tight with two single beds squashed in with very little walking space available. Toilet was automated and I like its functions.
