Hotels near Shodoshima Olive Park

"Clean and comfy room, friendly staffs, nice onsen facilities, express highway bus stop is just across the street, have various direct buses to Takamatsu Train Station and ferry port, just 12-15 min away. "

"I’ve stayed at JR Clemens Hotel four times through the years, and the hotel keeps getting better! The staff spoke okay English during check-in, it was easy to buy (excellent!) breakfast for just one of our days and the room was fresh and suited our needs perfectly. We had some kind of deluxe standard room with great beds, okay amount of space and good tea and coffee. Only downside was that we only were on the seventh floor and thus did not get one of the amazing view that you can get if you are higher up. I would like to add that the breakfast was the best ones I have had in Japan, and that it has improved a lot during recent years. I am a vegetarian and could more than eat my fill. Especially appreciated the varm pancakes and the soft serve ice cream. The hotel lacks any kind of onsen, which I would say is the only thing missing right now for a truly outstanding experience."

"Grand Base Takamatsu is an apartment rental more than a hotel. Although it was not what we expected it was perfect for our stay in Takamatsu. It is very well located near the main shopping arcade, has a terrific soba restaurant across the street. It has an ok kitchen and be prepared to do some shopping for breakfast. Check-in is. little odd (no front desk - follow written instructions). When the written instructions did not work, we were able to get some help on line fairly easily. If you're looking for a a "hotel" experience, this is not for you - but as a short-term apartment, it worked quite well. "

"I enjoyed the Japanese breakfast, food was delicious. Buffet fruit and vegetables was fresh and tasty. We also enjoyed the cocktail hour with excellent beverage choices and appetizers in a cozy, relaxing setting. All the staff was helpful, courteous and friendly. The room was clean. My only concern was the room had very little storage space for my clothing, suitcase and accessories. "

"This hotel is about a 5 minute walk from the JR Takamatsu train station (which itself appears to be a major bus hub with both express and local buses). Maybe a 5 minute walk on from the JR station is the Kotoden Takamatsu-chikko train station for other connections. Not much further away is the ferry port which has ferries to Shodoshima, Naoshima and other places. In summary, the hotel is in an excellent location for transportation. I should mention there is another Toyoko Inn hotel slightly further away, so just be certain which one suits best. This hotel (ekimae) has very helpful staff, not all of whom speak English but will do their utmost to help. On the first (ground) floor is reception, washers and dryers, vending machines, and free coffee for most of the day. The rooms are spacious, feel fresh and modern, have well-sized mini-fridges. The rooms also have both wifi and an Ethernet cable for connectivity. The only other thing I would mention to be aware of is the shower controls - they are controlled by the sink mixer tap and I found when adjusting the water pressure (moving the tap vertically) any horizontal tap movement made the water too hot or cold. There is both an overhead shower and a hose one - like most showers I’d suggest getting the temperature right before stepping in. Overall this was my first time staying at a Toyoko Inn and I was impressed - more than happy to use this hotel and hotel chain again !"

"A gorgeous stay in Takamatsu. Beautiful views of the city, friendly and helpful staff, great value."

"H"

"very good staff freindly"

"Pretty good place for a last-minute book. The “onsen” is a tiny space that’s actually your shower."
