MY LODGE Naoshima

"Wonderful place to stay in Naoshima. Convenient location near the port and perched on a hill with lovely views of the water. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We especially loved watching the sunset from the little bar. Staff were so friendly and helpful."

"직원들이 친절하고, 아침 식사도 매우 만족스러웠습니다. 교통의 편리성도 좋았습니다."

JR Clement Inn Takamatsu Hyogomachi

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and very convenient for getting around. The hotel is only about a 10-minute walk from the train station and right beside a lively local shopping street with a wide variety of restaurants and dining options. There is also a convenience store downstairs, which is very useful. The location provides easy access to many of the major tourist attractions, making it a great base for exploring the city. Overall, I really enjoyed the hotel's location and convenience. Friendly staff, and love the mini drink bar and resting area at the reception."

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are very clean and the breakfast is great. The location is very convenient for shopping and restaurants."

Dormy Inn Takamatsuchuokoenmae Natural Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent

"Would definitely go again! I'm so happy I read through the reviews before staying here. Good tips I read that are helpful, is that there are multiple Dormy Inn's in the city, so remember to go to the Central Park one! You can take a bus down the main street, or do a 20 minute walk from the station. I ended up using the bus for when I had my heavy luggage. Also, the inn really does provide free ramen at night, and ice cream in the area by the hot springs! The rooms are especially clean and comfortable, with mini-fridge and other amenities. I only stayed one night for an event, but wish I stayed longer as the Pokemon store, shopping, and lots of delicious restaurants were nearby that I wanted to try as well!"

KOKO HOTEL Takamatsu

8/10 Good

"Efficient check in. Allowed us to store our luggage before check in as we arrived earlier than planned. Room on the small side (for a double) but well maintained with limited storage space. Breakfast had good variety of dishes. Very good location on quiet side street, walking distance from the local train station and Ritsurin Garden. Close to many restaurants and shops."

Comfort Hotel Takamatsu

10/10 Excellent

"Well rested with comfortable clean bed. Breakfast comes with continental and Japanese food.. no complain on variety of breakfast."
