Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel AreaOne Kochi

Simple and affordable business hotel. The rooms are a bit small but that is typical of japanese hotels. Check in was smooth and staff were very helpful. It may be challenging to communicate if you do not know Japanese though.

Good location, has free parking, and modern facilities

Location is good, good for driving to sightseeing spots from this hotel.

Nice location, clean rooms and kind staff. We had a great stay.

I thought overall my stay was very nice. There was however some mold on the shower curtain which was a turn off. But I would stay here again because it is in a good location and everyone was very nice.

Caveat. AreaOne is a "business hotel", which in Japan ryends to be a small hotel with modest facilities catering almost exclusively to locals (staff speak limited English, rooms are very samall by western standards, no parking, etc). On te positive side, the staff was helpful, the room was very clean, breakfast buffet was very nice and it is located close to downtowm.

Let me just talk my experience. First when I got into room,whole room smelled like burning some chemical and I couldnt breath and couldnt stop coughing mean while. Bathroom smelled different bad smell too. Also I booked non smoking room, but when I went to bed, I found out all pillows and futon smelled tobacco and something sweat, mold. Off course my night was nightmare. I’ve never had these experience. I hope nobody will have same experience as I had.

Typical Japanese business hotel, with even smaller room than normal. Small convenient parking lot across the street. Ten minute+ walk to convenience store or station, located in a residential/commercial neighborhood with no apparent appeal. If looking for a cheap one night stay, with in and out plans, this will do. Leave suitcase in car, not much room for anything more than overnight essentials.

Front desk on the top floor is not easy friendly provide service. Hotel without car park and did not clearly mentioned. They have sponsored 800 yens maximum with 5 car park nearly hotel for 3:00pm - 8:00am and not allow to freely drive out once log the car. Front desk did not provided clearly information for discerning the park location.

The breakfast buffet was great. The room was small but clean. The hotel staff was best.

Poor breakfast choice Very loud Room extremely small Quite some walking distance from center

Arrived around midnight after a long day of travel. Easy check-in. Unfortunately, they sent me to a non-smoking room though I had booked a smoking room. Quick trip back to the front desk and the manager took care of it instantly and then I got straight to a comfortable night's sleep.

Friendly staff. Clean, nice room. About three blocks from the downtown restaurants.

It provided me with a safe, clean place to sleep. It is hotel not home. But, overall the staff treated me very well.

We have found some little flies on the bed and the wall. I have to get rid of them first before I can take a good rest. Other than this, the room is ok.

Comfortable in a quiet neighbourhood, with only a 5 minute walk from JR station

No restaurant nearby. Have to drive to look for food. The hotel is clean and the staff is friendly. The breakfast is good although not much choice.

This is a business hotel with small room size but you have all the necessary needs for the stay. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Booked at last minute and arrived late in the evening. The staff showed me to park my car and checked me in while I was doing so. Very quick and friendly. The included breakfast was very good.

Comfortable hotel Hotel staff speaks good English
