Used on pilgrimage. 8 minutes walk from Kochi Station.A business hotel that costs 4,000 yen per night (tax included).This price, which includes a simple breakfast and a large public bath (hot spring?), is recommended.However, there is no washer/dryer and Wi-Fi is weak.

It's old. All rooms are non-smoking. Still, the staff is nice, the hotel has parking (500 yen on a first-come, first-served basis), it's as clean as possible, you can sleep in a private room, and if breakfast is included, it's very reasonable. However, the public bath is for men only. However, you can enter for free at a sister restaurant called Annex Hotel. It's less than a 10 minute walk, but since you're walking in the city, it doesn't feel that far, and the public bath is of a higher rank than the hotel in question (although it's also older), and it's only open until midnight, so it's suitable for women. It may be something else than that◎

Within 10 minutes walk from Kochi Station. There are many parking lots, but first come, first served! The public bath cannot be used in the morning. I'm satisfied because it's 4000 yen for a single. I used it the night before GOLF. Breakfast included2024.9.26

I like the rooftop open-air bath and sauna.In today's world, why not set up a smoking area and make all rooms non-smoking?I think that would improve customer satisfaction.I also smoke occasionally, but I don't really like it when my room smells like cigarettes.

Used for a three-day holiday in Shikoku.4,500 yen (including parking fee) is outstanding in this location.For someone like me who only wants to sleep in a hotel room, it's so beautiful that I get enough change.Moreover, this hotel has a large public bath and a free breakfast service, albeit a simple one.The people at the front desk were very friendly.Before heading out for drinks on the town, I did 3 sets of sauna sessions in the large public bath to get in the best condition.The only complaints I have are that the toilet in the room does not have a washlet and I would like to be able to purchase water from a vending machine on the public bath floor.Also, the parking lot is rather small.

I was surprised that this price included breakfast and a hot spring!It looks like you can use the women's bath at a sister hotel. I was so tired on the day I stayed that I couldn't go, but I'm glad that there was an option to take a dip in the hot springs.The hallways in the common areas were not air-conditioned, and it was summer, so the air was damp, but I didn't have to stay in the hallways for long periods of time, so I think it was tolerable.The area is calm, so you can sleep peacefully without any noise from the surrounding area.

I chose to stay there right away.It's cheap and has an open-air bath on the rooftop.There is also a free morning breakfast.Just focus on the low price and don't expect anything else. The hallway felt a little damp.But if you want to keep costs down, this is the place to go.

It will be used for a walking pilgrimage in May 2024. There are some negative points such as stains on the carpet on the floor and no washlet, but it's cheap anyway. The room is old, but I wouldn't say it's filthy. It's within walking distance of Kochi Castle, so I wandered around on the way to the pilgrimage just to feel like sightseeing. A convenience store is 300 meters away, and there are many restaurants nearby.

The room is spacious considering it costs 4000 yen for a single. I like that the table is spacious because the TV doesn't take up too much space. Although it is for men only, there is a public bath on the top floor, which was helpful. The open-air bath is on the roof. It is completely open-air and there are 4 deck chairs. It says that the girls will be introduced to a bathhouse at a sister hotel, but I forgot to ask where it is.Located about 7 minutes from the station.Breakfast includes bread, boiled eggs, coleslaw, and coffee. It's a great cost performance.However, I couldn't flush my butt in the toilet in the room, so I used the shower in the unit bath.

I was surprised when I arrived at the guest room floor because the exterior was beautiful, and I was even more surprised when I entered the room, but it is a very old hotel and feels like the Showa era.However, these days it's 4,000 yen per night and includes free breakfast, so there's no doubt that it's a cheap hotel that's a blessing in an era where everything is rising in price. Also, although I didn't go, there is apparently a rooftop open-air bath and sauna available for men only.However, I think it would be better to just replace the dirty carpet in the room. It was stained (mold?) and damp (was it seeping somewhere or was it condensation?), so I was hesitant to even take off my shoes and walk in slippers.

It's cheap anyway!The location is also acceptable.It hurts that the room smells like cigarettes.There is a large public bath, sauna, and cold bath on the rooftop.Next time, please use it before drinking in Kochi.I want to play it out!I completely immersed myself in Kochi!#Kochi Trip

This was my first time using the hotel for work, and even though it was Golden Week, the accommodation costs were the same as usual, and I was able to stay at a reasonable price.The large communal bath has a sauna and an open-air bath, so I had a comfortable stay.As long as I have a washlet, I have no complaints〰️

After all, the price is cheap.For this price, a simple breakfast (bread, salad, boiled eggs, coffee) is included, and the public bath has a small sauna.The cost performance is great.The parking lot fills up quickly, but there are many coin parking lots nearby, so it's not a problem.However, the front desk at check-in is a one-off operation, so you may have to wait a lot.

I thought it would be nice if breakfast was free and there was a little more variety.I did it because there was a large public bath so I could relax and relieve my fatigue.

This hotel is located about a 5-minute walk south from the south exit of Kochi Station, across the Kagami River. It's not facing the main street, so I think it's a good idea to look at the map when you go there.The room is sufficient for what you need, and the bathtub is wide.On the rooftop, there is a large public bath for men only, a sauna, an open-air bath, and a massage machine.Breakfast is served in the lobby. There are counter and table seats. Self-serve salad, toast, raisin bread, and brown sugar bread are available. We also have jam. There are also boiled eggs.I think it's good.
