Okinawa Hotel

The hotel staff was very friendly and proactive in offering help. They took the initiative to take a photo with our family during the meal. The public bathroom and guest rooms were very clean. I will stay at this hotel again next time I come to Okinawa.

This was my first time using a twin room. The room had been renovated and the bathroom was clean. However, the bed was a single size and the mattress was too hard for me, so I couldn't sleep well... The breakfast was of consistent quality and delicious as always. Also, while it can't be helped that customer service skills vary depending on the staff, the young male staff member didn't smile and was a bit tactless... Other than the mattress, it was a great hotel as always.

Finding the entrance was difficult at first. The facilities were clean and quiet. Parking fee is about 800 yen per day. It was a great place to stay if you had a rental car. Kokusai Street wasn't too far away.

The room is big and comfortable

First of all, I was surprised by the retro entrance! The lobby is small, but it has been renovated and is beautiful. There is high-end shampoo next to the lobby, and you can try it out in the large public bath. We booked a Japanese-style room. There were many families with small children (including ours). The staff were very kind to us. The rooms, restaurant, and large public bath have all been renovated, and everything except the bathroom in the room was new. I heard that the staff all made the renovations by hand? The breakfast was also elaborate and wonderful, and included chopped salads. Above all, it is great value for money as it includes breakfast and all-you-can-drink alcohol. Everyone was smiling and it was a very pleasant stay. Thank you very much.

We stayed here for two nights after a one-way cruise to Okinawa on the MSC Bellissima. We made the reservation through Rakuten Travel using the hometown tax donation, and booked a twin room with breakfast. Since we arrived before noon with a lot of luggage after the cruise, they kindly stored our luggage and put it in our room when we checked in in the evening. The kindness of the hotel staff was also memorable. New hotels are nice, but I think you can enjoy a small, homey stay. During our stay, we had all-you-can-drink Orion draft beer, Awamori Zuisen, and highballs from the server at the breakfast restaurant at the back of the first floor. We enjoyed one drink after returning to the hotel, one drink after the bath, and one drink at breakfast. The room was a normal twin room with a bath in the room, but there was also a large public bath. Although it is located at the very back of Kokusai Street in Naha City, it is in a secluded area so it is very quiet and does not feel like Naha City. It is also a very historic hotel, the first tourist hotel in Okinawa. All four buildings, the brick building, the inn building, the Daidomon gate, and the tiled stone wall, were designed by Nakaza Hisao, a leading Okinawan architect. It is recommended for those who have architecture, as it was designated as a national registered tangible cultural property in November 2023. Sakaemachi Market is also nearby, so it is a great hotel to experience Okinawa's "Showa" era.

It's been a while since I stayed here last year. The amenities are minimal. It's better to prepare in advance. There are two types of rooms, Japanese-style and Western-style, depending on the building. I've never used the Japanese-style room, but the Western-style single room is small. There is no safe, so it's basically just for sleeping. The large bath is old, but not too bad. The coin laundry is a new machine with a combined washer and dryer. I recommend the breakfast buffet, which costs 2,500 yen if you pay separately. There isn't much variety, but the contents are quite substantial. In addition, Orion draft beer, highballs, and awamori are all-you-can-drink, so it's a great deal. I'm satisfied with just this, but I still want to stay for a few nights.

There is a big gap between the reviews before COVID-19 and the recent ones, and I heard that this is because they made efforts to renovate the rooms and improve the food service during the closure. The hotel has both Japanese-style and Western-style rooms, and the size of the Western-style rooms is comparable to that of Route XX and XX Club. The large public bath is good because you can bathe until 11:00. The number of items at breakfast varies slightly depending on the number of guests. It seems that a lot of effort has been put into the content. Also, the all-you-can-drink beer, highballs, and awamori is great for drinkers. Although it is close to the Sakaemachi area, it is a bit of a walk to the bus stop and the monorail Asato station, which is a negative point. Be aware that prices fluctuate depending on the time of travel.

The people at the front desk were very kind. The bath was clean and the temperature was just right, so I was able to relieve my fatigue.
