Hotels With Wifi in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan

"I was surprised by how small the room was for a hot spring ryokan. With two suitcases, there was barely any room to walk. There was no Wi-Fi signal in the room, and the explanation given was that too many guests were using it simultaneously that night. Wi-Fi was only available in the hallway and lobby. Although the staff tried hard to resolve the issue, there was no solution, so we had to use our own mobile data (as an apology, they gave us a small souvenir when we checked out). Additionally, the 'one night, two meals' package... At over ¥2200, it was ¥1200 more expensive than just the room, but both dinner and breakfast were very mediocre. Compared to a hot spring ryokan I stayed at previously on Shodoshima (which wasn't great either, but at least the food was refined), the meals here were far inferior. There were only three small slices of sashimi, and there were even fish scales on the fish. For ¥1200, two people could have had many better dining options outside. The hot spring was decent, but nothing particularly impressive."

"Shuttle Service: When booking accommodations, there were only two ways to arrange a shuttle, and for some reason, my email only linked to a very old address I rarely use. My messages went unanswered. I also tried calling from other cities in Japan, but an automated Japanese voice service picked up. Thankfully, at JR Kotohira Station, there was an Information counter. A young, helpful service attendant who spoke simple English immediately called the hotel for me when she heard where I was staying. The car arrived in about 5 minutes. The shuttle driver, a slightly chubby young man with glasses, spoke excellent English. He was quite chatty and humorous, making the ride enjoyable. He also recommended a famous local udon restaurant and advised that climbing to the top of Konpira-san Shrine would take at least 2.5 hours (definitely allow more time if you want to look around carefully and take photos). Luggage Storage: We arrived at the hotel at 11 AM, dropped off our luggage, and headed straight for a meal before ascending Konpira-san. Upon returning to the hotel, our luggage had already been delivered directly to our room. Room: We booked a bit late, but for this price, in other major Japanese cities, you'd only get a quarter of the space. My friend commented that she could finally spread out her suitcase and organize her belongings. There was also a dressing room/vanity, though the lighting was a bit dim. In the evenings, we enjoyed tea on the balcony, which was a very pleasant spot to relax and enjoy the view. Our room offered a direct view of the hotel garden and pond, a wonderful experience. Restaurant: When booking, I chose the hotel's ”Sanuki Santoku” (Three Treasures of Sanuki) dining plan. The waiter escorted us to a table with a great view and explained each dish. The food was delicious, and I was absolutely stuffed (I have a small appetite). Most of the service staff appeared to be of Indian descent. Other Features: 1) I really loved the public lounge. In the evenings, the spacious design and soft lighting created a wonderful ambiance. It was very atmospheric to sit and slowly savor coffee/champagne (complimentary). 2) Our accommodation included one complimentary 45-minute private onsen session on the same floor as the lounge. It had a sofa and drinks, but only one shower stall, so if there were multiple people, we'd have to take turns. For me, the time was too short, and the water temperature wasn't as high as in the public bath. 3) The public bath had two pools. A smaller one outdoors, where the water was quite hot, and a sauna room, which was also very hot! I personally preferred the public bath."

"This hotel boasts an excellent location, making travel incredibly convenient. The JR station, bus stops, and highway bus terminal are all nearby. What's even better is that the ferry terminal is just a few minutes' walk away. In the evenings, you can enjoy a refreshing sea breeze and admire the night views at Takamatsu Port. The breakfast is abundant and delicious, and the dining staff are particularly warm and attentive! If I ever visit Takamatsu again, I would definitely choose this hotel!"

"First off, the email from the hotel was incredibly polite and considerate, making me feel their hospitality even before my arrival. When I needed a taxi during my stay, they called multiple companies for me, which was a huge help. The cleaning staff were also very cheerful and always greeted me with a smile. I stayed for several nights, and when I requested only a towel change without room cleaning, they left new towels along with a mineral water exchange ticket at my door, which I could redeem at the front desk. I thought this was a really excellent service. The room itself was clean, and the bed was large and comfortable. It was also great to have a Plasmacluster air purifier. Although I didn't use it, there was also a De'Longhi kettle. The shampoo was POLA, and the hand soap was KOSE (it smelled lovely). Toiletries like toner, body towels, cotton swabs, and pajamas were available next to the front desk, where you could take what you needed. The shoe deodorizer and extra pillows were a particularly nice touch. The cafe au lait served in the lounge next to the front desk was absolutely delicious, and I had several cups during my stay. The room felt like a standard business hotel single, but the staff's service was as excellent as you'd find in a city or resort hotel. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Takamatsu Station, or a one-fare taxi ride. There's a drugstore and convenience store right next door, and a large, lovely shopping arcade across the street, making the location very convenient. This shopping street was impressive. It was my first time visiting Takamatsu, and it's a well-maintained, beautiful city. I'd love to come back again, and when I do, I'd definitely choose to stay at this hotel."

"Even though it was a mixed dorm, everyone was really quiet, so my sleep wasn't affected at all. The toilets and showers were never crowded as people used them at different times. The location is excellent; there are several shopping streets nearby, Ritsurin Garden is only about a 10-minute walk, and Takamatsu Port is roughly 20 minutes on foot. On my last day, I found some delicious gelato nearby! 😋"

"My friend recommended the Toyoko Inn Hyogomachi. The airport shuttle stops right at the entrance, and Hyogomachi is just across the street. Mitsukoshi department store is also a short walk away, making dining and shopping very convenient. There's a Lawson convenience store right outside, and it's super close and easy to get to Takamatsu Port for island hopping. What's even better is the hotel provides a rich and varied breakfast. Checking out on the self-service machine is a huge time-saver and very efficient. All in all, it was a great stay!"

"The hotel’s service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The scenery was breathtaking, offering stunning views that made every moment special. Breakfast and dinner were outstanding, featuring delicious dishes that showcased local flavors. To top it off, they surprised us by preparing a famous local cake to celebrate my wife’s birthday, which was a delightful and thoughtful touch. Everything was perfectly arranged, and their attention to detail truly impressed us. This hotel exceeded our expectations, and we’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a remarkable experience."

"Perfect located small Hotel near the walking street with countless options to enjoy a coffee or have lunch and dinner. Try Shamrock Bar around the corner for great Japanese Whisky! Rooms were rather small, but very clean and well equipped. All Amenities can be picked up on the ground floor. Train to the port is walkable."

"The room is specious for keeping 2 medium sized suitcases. The location is convenient with a Lawson and a supermarket downstairs. Staff are friendly. The only imperfect thing is the public bath is so small which could allow 4-5 guests to use."

"We have stayed in many Daiwa Roynet Hotels in Japan, and we’ve trusted the Daiwa Roynet brand very much. However, the Takamatsu property is the worst we’ve experienced so far, and after this stay we will be more cautious about choosing to stay at Daiwa Roynet in the future. The facilities are very old and urgently need refurbishment. The cleanliness of our room was also quite shocking. There was hair in the bathroom and bathtub, and hair on the pajamas they provided, as shown in the photo. There were stains throughout the room as well. The bedding used is also smaller than the bed as shown in the picture. If you’re planning day trips to the islands, the hotel isn’t very close to the port. There are plenty of shops nearby, though, so the overall location is ok."
