Khách Sạn Có Bữa sáng Tại Tỉnh Kōchi, Nhật Bản

The hotel is dated but has lots of charm! Yes, the fittings and furniture is old and outdated but everything is working as it should. The room (twin room) was generous in space by Japan standards. Here are some plus points about the hotel: 1) The windows can be opened fully to allow generous amounts of wind in (not the usual small openings). 2) The hotel staff are so generous and kind, they allowed us to check-in early and check-out late without charge! This is also the reason why we will definitely stay here again if we are in Kochi. 3) Hotel is located in the heart of all the bars (there were hoards of salarymen hanging around the area in the night and it gets very lively) 4) It’s a cosy hotel with no frills (so bring your own shampoo and conditioner if you are fussy about it). To manage your expectations, note the following: 1) It’s an old establishment, so don’t expect everything to be sparkling new or matching. No usb outlet charging as well. 2) Due to the location, you might hear lots of street noise if you open the windows at night. All in all, a wonderful little charming hotel, run by people who have the interests of their guests. Highly recommended!

Khách sạn Shimanto Sun River nằm cách ga JR khoảng 5-10 phút đi bộ, rất dễ tìm. Tầng dưới có một cửa hàng tiện lợi, cũng như các cửa hàng bán takoyaki, đồ ăn và đồ lưu niệm. Khách sạn có cung cấp xe đạp. Tôi ở phòng đôi có phòng tắm riêng. Phòng không rộng lắm, chỉ 23 mét vuông, có hai giường đôi và một giường đơn. Toàn bộ phòng, bao gồm cả phòng tắm, rất sạch sẽ và sáng sủa. Bữa sáng tự chọn rất đáng thử nếu bạn có thời gian; với giá 26,77 đô la, rất đáng đồng tiền bát gạo, mặc dù không phải món nào cũng ngon. Hãy đến sớm vì sữa sẽ không được thêm vào. Ngày hôm sau, chúng tôi phát hiện ra điều hòa không bật. Chắc chúng tôi đã ngủ quên vì nóng. Chúng tôi đã báo cho nhân viên, và họ nói rằng điều hòa sẽ bật sau mười phút nữa. Chúng tôi ăn sáng và đợi, nhưng khi trả phòng, điều hòa vẫn tắt. Tuy nhiên, nhân viên đã rất nhiệt tình giải quyết vấn đề.

When we first arrived the front desk told us that we reserved a smoking room. In the trip.com booking it does not say so though. The front desk said all similar rooms for non-smoking were booked out. We went up to the room but it smelled so bad that we asked agin for a different room showing them the booking. According to the hotel the booking was not directly forward to them by trip.com but by a different service therefore it varied from our actual booking. They were nice enough to give us a different room which was non-smoking. Unfortunately the room still smelled strange - at least no smoke smell. Additionally there was almost no hot water coming out from the tap. In the photo the hot water was fully turned on. Another issue was the parking. The one night stay fee was 1000 Yen (not for 24h). We checked out at 11 a.m. but decided to eat lunch in town and leave the car at the hotel parking. We took out the car at 2 pm and had to pay an additional fee of 1200 yen.

The hotel has 3 car parks, you can park for free. There is free curry serving during weekdays. The hotel building itself is old, but it is value for money and competitively clean. Free breakfast included.

Definitely NOT A 5 star hotel quality and service. When we arrived, we were not greeted at the door, we had quite a few luggages but none of the staff even insisted on helping. The rooms felt small, nothing interesting with the interior (to be honest, it felt just like a better version of a business hotel), no bathtub in the rooms just a plastic shower room. Another thing I noticed is due to having only two elevators, I often encountered to full elevators especially during busy hours when people go to the public bath on the 5th floor. We also had to pay 1000 yen per night extra for parking which I find it absurd. The staff were not very attentive and all looked kinda like students. Overall, this hotel should not be ranked 5 stars. I will not go back.

Hotel was a bit far from everything but it is very quiet at night. The public baths were also amazing!

Cannot ask for more from this hotel. Everything is perfect. We have the best accomodation in here while in Shikoku, where we have stayed in 9 hotels. It was simply the best. The environment is recluse, though it is highly accessible with cars. The star-gazing experience in onsen is once in a lifetime. It was magical to bath under the starry night. The dining experience is exceptional, though it is a little pricey, compare to the dinner we have throught Shikoku. Still, I highly recommend to try the Japanese-style course The Manna provided.
