The location is unrivalled for Takamatsu, just steps from the JR Terminus and right across the road from the ferry services. The local bus station as adjacent to the hotel also. There are plenty of friendly little izakiyas to explore nearby to indulge in the famous island specialty, udon. I was delighted with my room with a huge window looking down to the bustling ferry docks and beyond. The room was large, and very nicely appointed, although strangely it lacked an in-room safe. Maid service was timely, and unobrtrusive.

The inclusive breakfast was disappointingly underwhelming from a westerners perspective, way below the standard and variety you'd expect from a hotel of this calibre. The Japanese buffet seemed comparatively small also from what I have seen in similar standard hotels. Some carpet in the breakfast room was so filthy replacement would be the only option. My personal score would be 8/10.

The location was the best - I could walk to every place : Kitahama Alley, covered shopping mall. Sanuki udon , n view cherry blossoms at night at Castle grounds. I had bay view room n enjoyed my take away breakfast with their lovely tea n coffee n nice dishes in room. I arrived early afternoon for just one night so the location helped me to cover everything I had planned to see, do n eat I. That short time.

I enjoyed everything about this hotel

We enjoyed the central location, Once we exited Takamatsu Station, we could see the hotel. There was a covered walkaway - with buses accessibility and ferry terminals nearby. The station had a number of cafes and food eateries. The hotel had a pretty busy lobby - with a number of tour buses checking in. The lobby area has a pretty good bakery - we had some pastries whilst waiting for check-in. The room was a comfortable size. Breakfast was good - with a wider spread of Japanese dishes as well as some international food.

The bed was not as comfortable.

Phenomenal location and really exactly what I was looking for as I traveled from another location to Naoshima Island, being steps away from the train station and the ferry. Easy walking distance from restaurants/ nightlife and the lovely Ritsurin Garden. Lobby and restaurant were superb and room was clean and well appointed if a bit sparse and shopworn, although not in ways that impacted my enjoyment.

These are absolutely quibbles, and admittedly perhaps more to do with what is standard to expect in a Japanese provincial capital than a knock on the hotel itself. Like everyone in Japan, hotel staff was absolutely kind and polite beyond words. That said, the level of English was fairly low and while fine for check in, was not sufficient to answer detailed questions about the area. Again, while I want to be respectful, I would say American/ European beds are notably more comfortable so I missed that as well. Ditto on my expectation for a hotel of this size to have a pool/ fitness center. Nothing I couldn't live without, just a matter of expectation that perhaps is uncommon outside of Tokyo.

Hotel is just a hop, skip and a jump from the train station, and there are great sunrise views, and over the old castle grounds, from a higher room on its east side. Room is sizable and spotlessly clean, and the beds and pillows are comfortable. Check-in and check-out by friendly English-speaking staff is efficient. Not that we needed it, but check-out was up to midday, which is generous by local standards.

The room's shower had different settings, but none of them were particularly powerful.

Our room was modern and comfortable - we appreciated the desk, sitting area, and view of the harbour and castle. The location worked well for us - we were able to walk to all the sights we wanted to see and get to the ferry terminal easily for a day trip to Naoshima. The breakfast buffet was fun and plentiful, with both Japanese and Western-style options, including Sanuki udon noodles (a specialty of the prefecture).

We would have liked a gym and laundry facilities.

Excellent location, being situated right next to both Takamatsu Station and the ferry terminal, this hotel is perfect for those planning to do day-trips to the nearby islands of Naoshima, Teshima etc. Hotel’s overall style and feel is dated but still exudes a high-end vibe. I also enjoy the spaciousness of the rooms.

Could use some refurnishing to equip the rooms with more modern amenities e.g bedside USB charging ports, Smart TV etc

Location. Within minutes’ walk to jr station, kotoden station and port to outlying islands. Room. Open sea view/park view user friendly a/c control Breakfast. Not quite worth it’s price, in terms of quality and variety There was an episode where we booked into a sea view room but was assigned a room with street view. Talked to reception and quickly resolved with room change.

The hotel was very conveniently located to taking the ferry to Naoshima and Shodoshima. It’s also across the street from Takamatsu station, although we didn’t make use of the trains because we traveled by car. They did let us park our car in the hotel parking lot before check-in time, which was nice of them. There is a yummy bakery in the hotel that offers discounts for hotel guests.

The room feels a bit dated and is small, but the size is fairly standard for Japanese hotels.

Location to visit the art islands and Takamatsu’s main attractions is unparalleled. Great access to ferry and trains, great room with awesome views and awesome food hall and department store Oeme just across from hotel. Also close to good food.
