Hotels in Kokusai Dori, Naha

Overall, I don’t think I would stay here again. Maybe it is worth to spend a night or two here. Details below: During my 6D5N trip, I have stayed in different hotels. This hotel had the most expensive parking by far. It was ¥2000 / night. Also the parking was a bit inconvenient since the parking area uses an elevator-system and you need a staff to operate the parking system machine to get your car each time you need to use your car. There were a lot of families with young children during my stay, not the best place if you’re looking for a quiet place to relax. There were also only 2 elevators so sometimes it takes a long time to wait for the elevators due to the crowd. The hotel provides a lot of amenities, including some daily activities from 17:00-18:00, noodles from 20:30-21:30, and free flow drinks from 10:00-22:00 (no free laundry tho). I got to try the traditional outfit dress up session, it was a good experience to quickly try on the Okinawan-style kimono. Just a personal preference, I did find their soaps and skin care products heavily scented, which I wasn’t a fan of.

The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic – it's an incredibly convenient 10-minute walk from the station and just a few hundred meters from Kokusai Dori. This makes it perfect for shopping, dining, and exploring the area. On the downside, the soundproofing isn't great. I could clearly hear loud street noise, especially from vehicles, at night. The room isn't huge; while you can open your suitcase, it still feels a bit snug. However, purely for its superb location, I would definitely choose this hotel again for my next trip.

The room is quite small, with barely any space beyond the bed; a 30-inch suitcase can only just be opened. However, its cleanliness is a definite plus. Toiletries can be picked up from the lobby on the second floor. Right downstairs on the first floor, there's an Okinawan restaurant that's both reasonably priced and delicious. Plus, several convenience stores are nearby for all your daily needs. The biggest advantage, though, is its excellent proximity to the monorail. You can walk directly from Makishi Station via the pedestrian overpass, which is incredibly helpful when traveling with kids and trying to minimize walking.

Very helpful receptionists and staff both via online and at front desk even though we received a baby cot by misunderstanding. Acceptable for 2,000 JPY per one room cleaning regarding eco-friendly policy but policy details should be clearly communicated with maids too. We received only towels for two nights without water or cool pads even though we ensured our message with the front lady. However, comparing to their impressive service, the place is worth to revisit.

## Pros: **Facilities:** The facilities in the hotel's annex building are very modern and stylish, and everything feels quite new. The bathroom was a good size and featured a walk-in shower. **Hygiene:** Generally clean and tidy, with no unpleasant odors. **Location:** The hotel is located near the prefectural government office, very close to the meeting point for day tours, which was very convenient! There's a 7-Eleven directly downstairs from the annex, and a Lawson next door, making it extremely convenient. **Service:** The staff were friendly and attentive. ## Cons: The only downside was that the air conditioning in my room made a strange rattling noise/vibration. It only subsided when the fan speed was set to level 3, which was a bit annoying.

The room was clean. Two adults and two children stayed in a twin room; we pushed the beds together to create a very large sleeping area. The bathroom was convenient for showering, offering both a bathtub and a separate, quite spacious shower, almost like those found in a public bathhouse. We had breakfast at the hotel restaurant once. For a business hotel, it was perfectly adequate with no issues. However, it wasn't quite on par with the breakfast we later had at the Vessel Hotel in American Village. It was convenient to borrow an umbrella on a rainy day. Right downstairs from the hotel is a specialty shop selling Yukishio (snow salt), and their ice cream and chocolate crunch cookies were delicious. The hotel is very close to Calbee, just a 10-minute walk to Ryukyu no Ushi, and Sushiro is conveniently located right across the street. Getting a taxi to Tomari Port was also easy. Rubio Department Store is very close by, and it's also convenient for visiting popular breakfast cafes.

Excellent Stay at a Great Location! I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is excellent, making it convenient to explore the area. The front desk staff were very helpful and accommodating, ensuring a smooth check-in and providing great recommendations. The room was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, offering a comfortable and relaxing environment. One of the highlights was the hot bath, which was a perfect way to unwind after a long day. Overall, a fantastic experience—I would definitely stay here again!

My stay at this Hyatt on our last day in Okinawa was very satisfying. **Location:** It's conveniently located, just a 5-10 minute walk from Kokusai Dori. A taxi from the airport costs approximately 2000 JPY, making it easily accessible. **Arrival Experience & Lobby:** The overall environment was pleasant. Upon arrival, staff promptly greeted us and assisted with our luggage. Check-in was incredibly efficient, taking less than 10 minutes. The lobby also offers comfortable sofas for guests to rest. **Room & Facilities:** The room was a good size, not at all cramped. The bathroom featured a practical wet/dry separation. Our window overlooked the street, but the room was surprisingly quiet. **Cleanliness:** Everything was spotlessly clean. **Service:** The service was excellent, and we were very satisfied.

I encountered some difficulties upon entering my room. Following check-in, the staff promptly offered a replacement room, which I appreciated. However, the cleanliness of the room was suboptimal; I noticed some stains on the floor, and the bed was dusty and uncomfortable. Despite this, the location, staff, and amenities were excellent.

Location of the hotel is very good. Just a couple of minutes walk to the bus and ferry terminal, very near the main street where you can shop and get food. Feels really cosy, breakfast spread was simple but good, a mixture of jap and western breakfast items. Love the free bar with Okinawa Awamori every night. They have free flow tea and water available all day. Laundry was easy to use and convenient. Love that they have bikes to rent for free up to 5 hours, a plus for people who cant drive, at least i could still ride around. It is also near a big family mart, super convenient. Will be back if coming back to Ishigaki again!
