Parking is competitive - we have to park at the carpark opposite JR Kochi for our first night but managed to snag a spot the second night. Staff is helpful and friendly.
Location is good especially if you are travelling by JR but is quite a walking distance to the attractions eg, Hirome Market, Kochi Castle etc. There are convenience stores nearby where we bought snacks and enjoy the free coffee at the hotel lounge. We are glad breakfast is provided too as it can be a little difficult to find eateries nearby, and it is delicious.
Room is clean and size is acceptable by Japan standard.

I stayed here last year as well.
It was such a great experience that I wanted to stay here again this year,
so I chose this hotel. The quality of the food seemed to have improved compared to last year. The bonito tataki was delicious.
Also, the breakfast area was conveniently located,
and they made efforts to avoid overcrowding, which was great.
I'll definitely choose this hotel when I visit Kochi Prefecture again.

The hotel is dated but has lots of charm! Yes, the fittings and furniture is old and outdated but everything is working as it should.
The room (twin room) was generous in space by Japan standards. Here are some plus points about the hotel:
1) The windows can be opened fully to allow generous amounts of wind in (not the usual small openings).
2) The hotel staff are so generous and kind, they allowed us to check-in early and check-out late without charge! This is also the reason why we will definitely stay here again if we are in Kochi.
3) Hotel is located in the heart of all the bars (there were hoards of salarymen hanging around the area in the night and it gets very lively)
4) It’s a cosy hotel with no frills (so bring your own shampoo and conditioner if you are fussy about it).
To manage your expectations, note the following:
1) It’s an old establishment, so don’t expect everything to be sparkling new or matching. No usb outlet charging as well.
2) Due to the location, you might hear lots of street noise if you open the windows at night.
All in all, a wonderful little charming hotel, run by people who have the interests of their guests. Highly recommended!

I stayed here while sightseeing along the Shimanto River.
The amenities here included lotion, milky lotion, and even makeup remover, which was extremely convenient for female guests. (*^ω^)
They also had game consoles available for rent, so I played the Famicom, my childhood obsession, for the first time in decades!
(There were several other game consoles to choose from besides the Famicom.)
There was a souvenir shop and restaurant right next door, so I had no trouble finding a place to eat or buy souvenirs. ☆
The shower and toilet were separate, and the sofas were spacious.
I had a comfortable stay.
I was also given some snacks along with my welcome drink.
It felt like a great deal.

The hotel is about a ten to fifteen-minute walk from Nakamura Station. However, its proximity to souvenir shops, restaurants, and convenience stores makes it quite convenient. Just be aware that the nearby restaurant closes at 9 PM.
Breakfast is a complimentary buffet for guests. I can only say the Oden was delicious, but everything else was rather subpar.
It was fully booked due to Golden Week, so I couldn't switch to a non-smoking room. However, the window could be opened for fresh air and ventilation, and there was also a humidifier in the room, so I was still reasonably satisfied.

Great hotel. Super friendly staff. Love the way they use the translator mic and very efficient.
The room design is to the “point”. I will defintely recommend it for solo traveller or “medium-built” couple.
Bath is ok, resting area is good, unfortunately did not go for breakfast/ dinner.
If i m back to Kochin, will stay again.

the hotel room is nice , best shower even in Japan. but the sink is too low, good size for the child , too low for an adult the hotel has swimming pool, the pool is belong to the gym , normally require the membership ,but you just need to show the counter that you are staying in the hotel they will let you in. if you dont have the swimming suit, they have the swimming suit to borrow which was nice . they don't really speak English, that was a little tough to communicate. they have laundry machine at 3rd floor to use. the breakfast was acceptable , if you are foreigner, like western food , they have croissant, chocolate bread, salad, bacon. it was a good stay.

Guest UserVery convenient location, just opposite to the JR station. We can have a view of JR station from our room.
The restaurant - Rita Shokudo, which is not far from the hotel, is super good.
The room is standard Japanese size but the room is good in size for 2 persons.
About 10 to 15 mins walk to the main shopping street and food market.

Guest UserCannot ask for more from this hotel. Everything is perfect. We have the best accomodation in here while in Shikoku, where we have stayed in 9 hotels. It was simply the best.
The environment is recluse, though it is highly accessible with cars. The star-gazing experience in onsen is once in a lifetime. It was magical to bath under the starry night. The dining experience is exceptional, though it is a little pricey, compare to the dinner we have throught Shikoku. Still, I highly recommend to try the Japanese-style course The Manna provided.
