Top Setouchi Hotel Reviews

JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu

10/10 Excellent

"The room has such a nice view of the sea, and the facilities are well-maintained. Staff is very helpful as well. The only con is the lack of washing machines as the hotel only got two of them. Not a problem if youre not planning on doing laundry."

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Okayama Ekimae

8/10 Good

"This summer, we stayed at multiple hotels, all of which turned out to be good. But my family loved this hotel most. It's a little dated but well maintained. The staff members were professional, very helpful, and friendly. The hotel room was spacious. The laundry room, which had a vending machine, ice maker, and microwave, was very convenient. Minor complaint: I have to say that I don't like that we had to take a step to enter the bathroom (uneven levels which are common in old hotels in Japan). BUT I loved the shower (great water pressure, simplicity, and functionality). Good location: right by JR Okayama Station and the street car; lots of restaurants and shops. I highly recommend this hotel!"

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel next to the train terminal very easy to get to places."

Rihga Hotel Zest Takamatsu

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and a beautiful property."
