A lovely hotel, very conveniently located near the main shopping heart of Naha and not far from Shuri Castle. We opted to stay here for one night so we could explore the city before heading off to our resort for a few days. We were surprise upgraded to a Family room, which we were very grateful for, as it meant our girls didn’t have to share a bed (which always caused no end of orguments). Laundry was a bit pricey but machines worked well and there was always one available for use. Breakfast was a bit underwhelming. We dined upstairs, but never really paid attention to the view, and the selection is much smaller than downstairs, and the pancake machine was broken. So I would opt for breakfast downstairs next time. The one thing that shocked me most of all was that you have to pay to use the roof top swimming pool. I have stayed in more hotels than I can count in my time, and I have never had to pay to use the amenities that a hotel is meant to be providing. And not just do you have to pay, but it’s expensive, as in 4 times what it would cost us to go to our local swimming pool at home (which is 10xs bigger). And not only that, children under 13 are not allowed to use the main part of the pool and are relegated to a fenced off end of the pool which is basically a toddler wading pool it’s so shallow. Definitely not worth the time or money. The rest of the hotel, however, it great, clean, with lovely staff. Other than the pool, highly recommend this hotel.
