Hotele z: parking w Kagawa Prefecture, Japan

This is definitely the hotel to stay at in Takamatsu! It's right next to the JR station, and the lobby is very luxurious. Even though the room is compact, it's still quite spacious. The breakfast is also delicious, and you can enjoy views of Takamatsu Port through the large window. It's the perfect choice for island hopping!

We stayed in a triple room this time, which had a balcony. They helped us set up the futons for dinner. The room was clean and tidy, and the sodas and snacks in the room were complimentary. Both dinner and breakfast were kaiseki multi-course meals. The ingredients were fresh and very satisfying. There were two free massage chairs on our floor, and a stargazing area on the rooftop. We could actually see stars at night, and it was incredibly quiet and comfortable. The hot springs offered both indoor and outdoor baths with a beautiful environment and full amenities, including free popsicles. In the lobby, there was a self-serve marshmallow roasting station with unlimited marshmallows. There was also a souvenir shop. A special reminder: the latest dinner time is 7:30 PM, so you must check in early. We drove there, and it was already dark. Be careful to turn at the intersection by the road, as there aren't many lights, and you might miss the entrance.

Toyoko Inn is my favorite chain to stay when in Japan! This particular one was clean, convenient and awesome! They had night time supper -Udon. The breakfast area can get a little bit busy. Thanks for a nice stay!

The room is spacious and comfortable, with wet and dry separation. It is rare that the hot spring hotel room is also equipped with a separate shower room. The hotel is relatively elegant overall, the hot springs are comfortable, and the banquet cuisine and buffet breakfast are also good.

During my recent trip to Japan, I had the pleasure of staying at a hotel that also serves as a wedding venue — and from the moment I arrived, the level of service was simply impeccable. The staff were not only gracious and professional, but also went out of their way to assist me at every turn, despite my lack of Japanese language skills. Their warm hospitality left a lasting impression and made me feel truly welcomed and cared for. Though the room was compact, it was exceptionally clean and thoughtfully arranged. As a solo traveler, I found the space more than sufficient — cozy, comfortable, and a fantastic value for the price. It truly struck the perfect balance between affordability and quality. A special mention goes to the amenities: the hotel provides a well-stocked amenity station at the reception, where guests can freely pick up whatever they need — a detail that reflects the hotel’s attention to guest convenience. While the location is a little removed from the city center, this wasn’t an issue at all for me, as I had a rental car. The added bonus? Free parking on-site, which made my stay even more convenient and budget-friendly. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations in so many ways. With its blend of elegant ambiance, exceptional service, and thoughtful touches, it became a peaceful and comfortable base for my journey — one I would gladly return to and wholeheartedly recommend to fellow travelers.

The staff of Olivean Shodoshima Yuhigaoka Hotel are professional and considerable. Their service are excellent, especially 1) The shuttle bus driver (morning shift strong man, forgot asking his name). When we arrived at Shodoshima Ferry Pier at 11:00am on April 7, we found a hotel shuttle bus, but not sure if it's the one of our staying hotel. We asked the driver if it's the one that waiting to pick us up. He said yes, but the hotel check-in time should be 3:00pm in the afternoon. He suggested us to have the sightseeing first and helped register the afternoon time for picking us instead. Also, he suggested taking our hand carry bags to the hotel front desk to avoid we carrying too heavy bags while travelling. 2) The lady staff (sorry for forgetting her name) at the lobby hall, who was very proactive. She came over immediately to help taking photos for us when she found we're taking a selfie. She also served us with free drinks for enjoying the sunset at the hall. 3) The staff at the reception desk are very professional. They helped us for check-in, explained the details of the time for meals, and provided all the information required. 4) The foods for dinner & breakfast buffet are very nice and yummy. The restaurant is clean and tidy. Overall, Olivean Shodoshima Yuhigaoka Hotel is a very professional and comfortable accommodation for stay. We're pleased and feel glad choosing this hotel.

Free parking lot - Ideal for having a road trip and anyone who wants to avoid expensive and difficult parking fee in the city centre; Service - Receptionists are friendly and welcoming. Staff working for breakfast buffet are diligent and friendly; Hygiene - Hotel room was generally clean and up to hygiene standard. No smoking smell among the entire hotel. Size - Hotel room is not so big but still reasonable, with all necessities ready for use such as a kettle with tea set, slippers, bathing clothes, toilet accessories. Dedicated space for opening suitcase is provided.; View - A window with a city view. You will have either sunrise or sunset view as a bonus of your stay! Breakfast - Plenty of Japanese and Western choices of quality food and drinks which kicked off your morning with great satisfaction! Dinner - We did not eat in the hotel restaurant. But a 5 to 10 minute driving will give you plenty of restaurant choices with good food; Onsen bath - Although it is an artificial onsen bath, it is definitely a bonus for the stay, especially when you are paying similar price for a nearby hotel with no onsen bath. Our two-night stay was better than expected and this hotel is definitely underrated in this price range, possibly due to the location being far away from Takamatsu city centre. Again, this hotel is highly recommended if you are having a road trip!

We have stayed in many Daiwa Roynet Hotels in Japan, and we’ve trusted the Daiwa Roynet brand very much. However, the Takamatsu property is the worst we’ve experienced so far, and after this stay we will be more cautious about choosing to stay at Daiwa Roynet in the future. The facilities are very old and urgently need refurbishment. The cleanliness of our room was also quite shocking. There was hair in the bathroom and bathtub, and hair on the pajamas they provided, as shown in the photo. There were stains throughout the room as well. The bedding used is also smaller than the bed as shown in the picture. If you’re planning day trips to the islands, the hotel isn’t very close to the port. There are plenty of shops nearby, though, so the overall location is ok.

The room was pretty good. There is a large supermarket downstairs, which is convenient for buying food and drinks. There are no places to eat nearby. The bustle of Takamatsu is concentrated near the station. Not far from Ritsurin Park.

There is inconsistent treatment among staff. Guests with tattoos are not allowed into the public baths. On the first night around 10:00 PM, the long-haired receptionist was very friendly and gave me enough cover-up stickers based on the number of my tattoos. However, on the second night around 9:00 PM, the short-haired receptionist only offered me a single sticker and implied that I should go out and buy more myself. I find this unacceptable. Isn't your service standard supposed to be consistent?
