Kochi hotellia

Plussat: Extremely clean facilities and room layout was very neat and made efficient use of the small space. Bathroom was very clean and had good water pressure. Loved the library cafe on the ground floor that was open for guests to relax in throughout the day.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Excellent location. Excellent breakfast selection. Fast wifi and plenty of sockets

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Clean and tidy

Plussat: The guide to all the hotel services and WiFi was on the TV and was easy to understand

Plussat: Free coffee at the Library-CafeteriaｰAera is nice. We enjoyed it. Smoking area at the outside of the hotel building, but it is near elevator and front desk, and has roof. We can smoke comfortably.

Miinukset: This hotel produce coin laundry. But, the explanation of how to use coin landry is written only by Japanese. We are Japanese, so there is no problem. But, foreigners would be confused. This hotel had better add a Bulletin board which is written English explanation of it.

Plussat: New and clean...value for money!

Plussat: This hotel is well positioned and very comfortable. This was one of the cheapest hotel we stayed in during our time in Japan but it was the cleanest and most spacious. Even the free breakfast was better than some paid ones!

Miinukset: A bit hard to regulate the air conditioner

Plussat: Large comfortable room and a yummy breakfast included!

Plussat: Location is excellent, walking distance to shopping street and restaurants

Plussat: the onsen view was marvellous

Plussat: Nice facilities and selection for breakfast. Staff was very kind and polite. Everything was clean, spacious and organized.

Miinukset: Bedding and pillows were a little thin.

Plussat: Nice room and a full bath.

Miinukset: Breakfast was passable but nothing special, though they did at least have omelettes and coffee to go.

Plussat: Staff were very kind and helpful and the location with views across the whole of the city. We were only there the one night.

Miinukset: The room was dusty and while the sheets and obvious area were very clean the bench top around coffee machine above fridge was thick with dust. Bed was up against the wall which was difficult for two people to use the bed, too much in the room to move around freely - best as one person room only.

Plussat: Very good service and nice view on 22/F for breakfast

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Super nice hotel and very helpful staff Very nice bar

Plussat: We were given a room on a high floor, so the view was great. We had a car while we were in Kochi, and found the car parking at the hotel very reasonable - only Y600 per night, and come and go as many times as you like per day for the one fee. Getting the car from the car park didn't take as long as I expected - as I had read a comment on here about the lengthy wait for the car. I don't think the wait for the car is any worse than using a conventional car park and driving round and round in circles to get out. Also, the carpark hours are 5am until midnight. All staff members both in the hotel and at the car park were friendly. The room was a good size, with cupboard space and large desk, but I'm glad I didn't take the economy room, as I feel it would have been too small for us. We didn't get an opportunity to use the onsen, as it closed at 11pm, and you had to be in by 10pm. I can't quite remember if it was open early morning or not. We had dinner in the restaurant one evening. Please only go if you can speak/read Japanese or are happy to use an app like Bixby, as there is no English menu. I can read Japanese, but my knowledge of Kanji is limited, so I had to wing it on what I could read/understand - but the selection I made was good. I had the Japanese style meal for Y3000, and my husband had udon noodles with tempura, and we had a couple of drinks - all up was around Y6000...not too bad for a fine dining/French style restaurant. The rooms were extremely quiet. We kept thinking we had the floor to ourselves, as we never heard any other guests, but each morning, the cleaning staff were making beds from other rooms - so there was obviously other guests. The bed was quite comfy - not the most comfiest we had, but it ranks high compared to other hotels we stayed at.

Miinukset: The onsen closed too early each night. Breakfast was expensive, so we didn't have it. There is no coin laundry near by - which was ok for us, as we had a car, but not good if you don't have a car. The bed was only a queen sized bed, which is ok, but almost everywhere else we stayed, we had quite large beds for rooms of equivalent value.

Plussat: The architectural design, the beauty of the Surry, the staff, the meals and the coffee.

Miinukset: The sofa is not so comfortable. Great to look at but find it too deep for sitting

Plussat: Good location. Nice staff and a good breakfast in the morning. Recommended!

Miinukset: A good hotel. Perhaps marginally overpriced given it is not in a major city

Plussat: Location is very convenient.

Plussat: Prima middle of the road hotel

Plussat: The location was good, staff was wonderful and facilities above average

Miinukset: There were moldy spots on the shower curtain, though I’ve seen much worse at other budget hotels in the area

Plussat: Smiling staff. Enjoyed location. Parking stacker efficient. Room size reasonable - for Japan.

Miinukset: WiFi dropped out a lot. Queue for the washers and dryers.

Plussat: Excellent location - particularly for catching the tourist bus and for accessing the tram network. It's a pretty good business hotel - all the usual provisions such as onsite laundry, vending machines, microwave and toiletries.

Miinukset: There was nothing in particular to dislike. Nothing in particular to stand out either.

Plussat: Excellent service, excellent check out, really fast and the location is unbeatable.

Plussat: parking is tricky but if found perfect :-)

Plussat: Room size and helpful staff

Plussat: Very close to the shopping street. The weekend market is just downstairs.

Miinukset: Quite some distance from the JR station.

Plussat: Clean facilities, decent room size, free coffee

Miinukset: Bathroom too small

Plussat: Fairly spacious rooms (for Japan), nice and clean, with everything we needed. New bottles of water in the fridge every day, A short walk from the tram stop, a bit longer from the station. When we left it was pouring, so we took a taxi which only cost a measly 580 yen. Close to a shopping arcade and Kochi castle. Convenience store across the street. Although the staff at the reception spoke next to no Englsh, they were all very helpful and we always got there in the end.

Miinukset: I forgot my mobile phone (an old one) and my son lost a button he got at the Pokemon cafe in his room. Not worth much in terms of money but both with sentimental value. So I contacted the hotel to ask if these items had been found and if they could send them to me (at my cost). Unfortunately I did not get a reply at all.

Plussat: Room is large and locartion is very good.

Miinukset: Breakfast was not not so good

Plussat: Better get to breakfast early to have it hot

Miinukset: Better get to breakfast early to have it hot

Plussat: The staff tried to compensate what was lacking in comfort. The breakfast was good, but the room was to small for so many people. The hotle is located well and you can walk easily to the shopping arcade and Kochi Castle. The hotel provided bicycles for free. We made a tour by bike to Katsurahama beach on one day. You have to get across a big bridge wich is designed primarily for cars, but when you got over it, the beach is awesome.

Miinukset: The room was not really clean and there was a deep, buzzing noise all the time. We could not determine from where the noise was coming from. The hotel ist really old and they did not renovate anything for a long time. My bathroom floor was permanently wet due to the silly arranged sink.

Plussat: View from the window was great.

Miinukset: No heating system...In the winter You feel cold at night. The toilet needs better design. The sink was not big enough. At times the water went out of the sink.

Plussat: We had a very good experience. When we checked in and got the reserved room we realized that the window can not be opened. The room was small so it was a problem. The staff was so kind and immediately arranged an upgrade for a small addition. We got a really big room. Very comfortable and clean. There is also an on-site parking for a small fee. Location is very good.

Plussat: Hot bath, massage bed, foot massage machine => what a bonus!

Plussat: The location was good, within walking distance from Kochi station, and there is a convenience store nearby. The staff was friendly, the breakfast was good, and the public bath was also nice, with reasonable usage hours.

Miinukset: The toilet inside the room was a little small and seemed old.

Miinukset: Elevator takes its time and it is weird to go outside (under at 1F) for washing machine. It looks like every people need washing his clothes! Not very friendly. Bathroom is very small specially WC close to the wall (I am not very tall)

Plussat: Located very close to the station (walking ~5 mins). Clean bathroom. Compact but perfect space for single traveler

Miinukset: The staircase to the lobby might trouble some people but they have a button at the bottom end of the stairs that you can use to call for help

Plussat: It is close to the Kochi Castle and some tourist attractions.

Miinukset: It is a bit rundown. Moreover, it is quite far from the air bus station.

Plussat: Perfect for single person - kettle, fridge, and all facilities.

Plussat: A comfortable hotel with larger than average room for a Japanese Hotel. Neat, clean and easy walking distance to the sights such as the Castle, some nice shopping areas and temples.

Plussat: Amazing staff and clean

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Spacious room and friendly and polite staff nice traditional Japanese breakfast.

Miinukset: It is not as described on the website. The rooms are very old and not well maintained. Cigarette smoke fills all the rooms daily. The towels are old and small, and the bathroom is compact.

Miinukset: The staff does not speak English at all. I could manage, but other people may not. With an English name it's ironic.

Plussat: Good value for money, very close to transit and attractions, clean, and efficient. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: Lacks a few facilities like ice machines, laundry facilities, etc that similar properties might have. It's a very basic facility, but we'll maintained and good value.

Plussat: Location was good, 10mins walk from the main train station although finding the property was a little tricky because it's on a small alley, off of even the side road. However it was straightforward from the station, very walkable and near to shopping streets, attractions in Kochi and the main street. Staff was good too, helpful and able to explain the facilities, although he doesn't speak much english. Lockers were provided and some space for luggage storage, though if you have larger luggages you may struggle.

Miinukset: Generally small and cramped, especially for taller humans in the individual beds. Beds also lacked ventilation, especially with the privacy curtain drawn at night, though the light was good. The toilet was small, though water pressure was good. A steep and narrow flight of stairs is required to reach the hostel, meaning that heavy or bulky luggage would be a challenge to carry up and down.

Plussat: Good value

Miinukset: A little small and the check-in experience was weird.

Plussat: The staff is super nice! I got into accident and couldn’t arrive the hostel within original check-in time, the staff left message and help me check-in in a smooth pace. I can’t express how thankful I am.

Miinukset: The bathroom is quite small and old. Also, there is limited space in the hostel, so it is not suitable for travellers with large luggage
