Naha Tokyu Rei Hotel

The hotel's location is excellent. You can easily walk to the second floor of the hotel directly from Asahibashi Station via a connected walkway, which is super convenient. The bus terminal is right across the street, so you can catch a bus to anywhere. There's a Lawson and a 7-Eleven downstairs, making it very handy. The hotel lobby offers self-service drinks, and in the evenings, you can gather to play cards and chat. There's even a staff member who speaks Chinese. The room itself is a bit small; in a twin room, you can only open your suitcase in the innermost aisle, and you'd have to climb over it to get into bed. However, the bathroom design is smart; the shower has a separate door, so it doesn't affect the rest of the space. Overall, it's pretty good.

Likely due to its proximity to the sea, there's a slight smell and some dampness. The room cleaning and rubbish disposal services are only available at specific times each day, which isn't ideal if you like to sleep in. Otherwise, everything else was perfect.

The room insulation is quite good, and the location near the bus stop makes getting around convenient. The room is a bit small; after putting down two suitcases, there's barely any space left. The check-out time is quite early at 10 AM. Registered members can extend it by an hour, but the front desk wasn't familiar with the member registration process.

The hotel room wasn't huge, but the bed was a good size and comfortable to sleep in. The location is super convenient; if you're taking the monorail, you just get off at Asahibashi Station and walk through the connecting corridor directly to the hotel. Right across from the hotel is the Naha Bus Terminal, making it really easy to get to places like Churaumi Aquarium, Aeon Mall Rycom, Parco City, and American Village. Downstairs, there are 7-Eleven, Lawson, and FamilyMart convenience stores, plus plenty of great food options nearby. You can also easily walk to Kenchomae and Kokusai Dori.

I wasn't even planning on leaving a bad review, but I'm really disappointed with this hotel. As soon as I walked in, I noticed a foul, animal-like odor. I wonder if it's just like this on the sixth floor? Then, a tabletop fell and injured my foot. The hotel didn't offer any compensation, like a gift or a discount on the room rate. They just gave me half a band-aid, two bows, and a few 'sumimasen's, as if that would fix everything. I understand that injuring me costs them nothing. The hotel's location is great, but their way of handling problems is incredibly disappointing. That was a thick board; who understands how much it hurt? I wanted to cry. Was it a hidden weapon? Who would have thought a tabletop could just disassemble itself?

The hotel environment is really good. When you exit Asahikawa Station via the subway, there's a direct walkway to the hotel's second floor. The hotel lobby is on the fourth floor, and after 3 PM, there are complimentary welcome drinks and alcoholic beverages. I chose a room with a balcony, and the view was fantastic – perfect for people-watching or just relaxing. The hotel is closest to Naha Bus Terminal; you take the elevator down to the first floor from the walkway, and as you exit the elevator, you'll see the bus terminal platforms. It's about a two-minute walk. It's roughly a four-minute walk to the subway station and ten minutes to Kokusai Dori. Walking to Naminoue Shrine takes about twenty minutes. This hotel is ideal for those who plan to use public buses. There are also several convenience stores around the hotel.
