Takamatsu Guesthouse BJ Station

The guesthouse was very conveniently located just 5mins walk from the main station and the ferry port. The self check in service was also very simple which allowed for even later arrivals, the only difficult part to this stay was the 3 flight of stairs that were a bit narrow and steep for a suitcase, especially as it got heavier with the amount of souvenirs accumulated.

Weird, weird, weird! But, cheapest place in town, especially important on a Saturday night. First vibes were, should I just go stay at the train station across the street? Fortunately I stored my luggage at a coin locker at the station. This was genius as there would have been no way to store my suitcase in the rumoured locker. Self check in was confusing. Place seemed filthy. The bunk bed was a... I don't know the words. Example, from my upper bunk had I dropped my glasses into the 20cm gap between my bed and the walk I don't know that I would ever recover them as that seemed a dark, unreachable recess. Heaven forbid one drops a wallet down there. And yet, I slept very well. The bunk was very comfy, the room was quiet. I woke refreshed. In the light of day the common spaces seemed normal as did the loo. The stairs and entry way are the shoddiest part, giving the bad first impression. In summary: I wish I'd booked the proper capsule hotel down the road. Genius move to store my suitcase at station and save myself alot of hassle. There were those typical amateurs standing in the corridor looking for some thing or another in their giant suitcase. Bottom line: worth it for a single night stay if you neglected to book some place proper for the night. Just be smart and stash your luggage at the station across the street.

It is at a very convenient location near Takamatsu Port, JR station and Kotoden station, so it is a good starting point for attractions around Kagawa prefecture. There are restaurants nearby but supermarkets are somehow a bit far away. Independent socket, lighting and curtains are available to provide privacy for dorm bed users. Temperature in the dorm room was ok but the toilet was a bit cold in early morning.

I was able to get my own room which was a big bonus at a similar price to the dorm room. Get here NOW! Don't wait!

Not the worst, and not the best either. There is no lift and the steps are very steep. The room is not the cleanest and there is only a shower room on the thrid floor. The location is good though
