Find the Cheap Kochi Hotels

We were in the area to tour Kochi's sights and sounds, and while Auberge Tosayama is about a 45 minute drive from the city, we had our own car and felt that relaxing in a remote oasis would be better than staying at a bland, large hotel. After staying at this retreat, we felt that we made a good choice. It's a stylish small resort (only 16 rooms total) that blends in nicely with its mountainous surroundings. It has a mostly earthly tone in muted colors that really soothed our soul and made us feel one with nature. The reception area has floor-to-ceiling windows with great views of the lush greenery and rolling hills all around. Our Villa was accessed by crossing the river via a suspension bridge (it's sturdy, not to worry) - an interesting way to get to the room without it being too far to be an arduous task. The Villa itself is one of a few that on the other side of the river, and each are detached units that are reminiscent of a mountain hut. The Villa was tastefully furnished and well appointed. While we generally prefer larger rooms with bedrooms that are separate from the living room, the junior suite-style layout was adequate. Two nits to pick, however. First, no Onsen (natural hot springs) bath in the room, as is the case with many top-end ryokans. Secondly, internet speeds were terrible... that is, if we could even get connected (it was intermittent.) While I understand that the purpose of staying in a place like this is to unwind and disconnect from the civilized world, it would be nice to have the option to get online should we so choose. Oh, one more thing... the nearest electrical outlet is FAR from the only table in the room; we borrowed a long extension cord, but even then, it was literally a stretch for the cable to reach my laptop. At least they have a communal Onsen, which is gender segregated (like 99% of public ryokan Onsen baths) and offers both an indoor and open-air bath. It's not very large, but given the small number of rooms on site, it's doubtful that you'll have to share it with too many people, save for late afternoons (just before dinner) and late mornings (after breakfast and just before check-out time.) Auberge Tosayama's supposed calling card is its food offerings - after all, it has ”Auberge” in its name. We enjoyed the meals, and it's probably as good as it's going to get in Kochi. It won't be on our ”10 best ryokan meals” list, but it doesn't have to be. Not everything was spectacular, but there were a few memorable dishes. The Foie Gras ”Joyo Mushi” was a dish consisting of Foie Gras mixed with grated Yam that was steamed into a ball shape, topped with Uni (Sea Urchin) and doused with Ankake sauce. Even the simpler dishes, including a salad that contained locally-sourced vegetables such as Komatsuna (Japanese Mustard Spinach) and Japanese Turnip was excellent. We were in Kochi after all, so we really wanted to try some of the indigenous dishes... and Auberge Tosayama did a great job introducing us to many lo

Realy nice Hostel for this price.

The rent payment is not on the platform of normal trip. It is said that it is paid on arrival. In fact, you have to contact in advance. Because I didn't read the email, he didn't come when I checkedin. No one showed up during the whole process. I need to communicate in English. Our room is on the ground floor (parking floor) below, there is no elevator, we have to take an outdoor rotating staircase! It is impossible to carry luggage safely! This is extremely poor! Parking spaces have to cross the road.

I was alone and made a reservation to save money. Hotel charges are cheap, but are cleaned neatly. It's an older hotel, but it has everything you need. If you are concerned about the smell of cigarettes, you can borrow a deodorant spray at the front desk. It's a little far from the station, but I was able to borrow a bicycle for free, so it was convenient to go to the Sunday market and Hirome market. The female front desk clerk was friendly and pleasant. The room was spacious enough for a single room. When I went out into the corridor, I could hear the noise from the previous room, but the room was quiet and the bed was a semi-double, so I slept well. It is a pity that there is no washlet. But it is enough if we only stay.

大雨警報が発令され高知駅からの電車が運休となり、チェックアウトの時刻が迫る中、こちらの不安に寄り添ってくださり、お部屋の清掃時間になるギリギリまで、滞在させていただきました。 大変ありがたく、感謝しております。

The room was renovated and very nice. The hotel is located right next to the station, so it's convenient for going to Hirome Market. I'd like to use it again.

 Breakfast is a Japanese-style set meal, very delicate and delicious.  I stayed in a Japanese-style room, the place was spacious, the tatami was very comfortable, the small entrance to the room, there was a shoe cabinet, very convenient.  The hotel lobby is European style, a bit classical, making people feel advanced. If you are driving by yourself, the parking lot is free and very convenient. If there is a bus to the hotel, you must check the shift in advance.  There are golf driving ranges, tennis facilities, and a good place to relax. 

Both of them are about 5 minutes walk to Kochi Jo castle and Harima and bridge, and there are restaurants such as Hirome market around, and Sunday city is also held on the previous street, and it is convenient as a base for sightseeing. It was a cheap business hotel, but it is clean and you can drink raw beer with welcome drinks, and the cospa is good because it has breakfast.
