ZhentianThis 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!

Guest UserWe 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.

Jesse CCCToyoko inn has always been a reliable stay for me. When you don’t want to do a love hotel or hostel but for whatever reason don’t find it sensible to book something more luxurious you can find a brand hotel like Toyoko at a reasonable price. Those who stay regularly know the perks (free face wash haha) - but this one in particular has a very nice view of the sunset over the bay. It’s also right across the street from the train station. Solid.

Our family stayed for 4 days and 3 nights, and overall, everything was wonderful.
The rooms were clean, and the hot spring facilities were well-prepared and easy to use.
I must emphasize that the dining experience was the best among all the ryokans I have ever visited. In particular, the taste and service level of the dinner Kaiseki were absolutely perfect. While most of the reception staff spoke little English and we had to communicate via translation apps, this was not an issue as I am the one who does not speak Japanese well.
However, we experienced a significant issue on our departure day regarding the airport limousine bus at around 7:45 AM. Despite checking multiple times with different staff members, I received conflicting information. Some said they would drop us off at Kotohira Station at 7:20 AM by the hotel's bus and we can catch the limousine bus there, while others said we could simply take the first bus from right next to the hotel at 7:45 AM.
When I checked again early on the morning of our departure, I was told that we can just wait next to the hotel.
As a family of nine, smooth transportation was our top priority. In the end, the limousine bus never arrived.
The hotel staff kept repeating that they could not get through to the bus company, which was incredibly frustrating.
We eventually had to take a combination of the subway, bus, and Uber (since we were dropped off in a remote area where taxis were unavailable) to make it to the airport just in time. While the stay itself was lovely, this final experience was deeply unpleasant and stressful.

Daily happy
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.

aleu aleuThe 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.

The front desk staff was really helpful; because the room had a little smoke smell, they set me up in another room. Their quick response to my request is very appreciated.

Anonymous UserThe hotel's location is fantastic. It's a 10-minute walk to Kochi Station, and the airport shuttle bus stop is right outside. The famous Love Bridge is also just behind the hotel. The shopping street is only a few minutes' walk away, making it super convenient for eating, browsing, and shopping. Hirome Market is also nearby. The front desk staff were very patient and thoughtful. The breakfast was good, and they had delicious bonito. Plus, the room windows actually open! I'd definitely stay here again next time I'm in Kochi.

ZhuxisongyuThe 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.

Ms.ZoeThere 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?
