Almont Hotel Naha Kenchomae

Location: Getting to the hotel from the airport was a breeze, with plenty of monorail and bus stops nearby. It's right next to RYUBO Department Store, and there's a Family Mart downstairs, plus a 7-Eleven, Lawson, and a Daikoku drugstore close by. It's also super close to the day tour meeting point and Kokusai Street, so the location is truly excellent! Facilities: Our room was on the 9th floor. While the room isn't huge, it's a 'sparrow small but complete with all its vital organs' – perfectly fine for one adult and one child. The corner sofa was a nice touch, very convenient. I loved that the window could open, allowing for daily ventilation. The pajamas were very comfortable, and having a large public bath on an upper floor was a godsend; soaking there after a long day was incredibly relaxing! Service: The front desk staff provided good, enthusiastic service. While the breakfast selection wasn't vast, the food was delicious, with many Okinawan specialties. The menu changed daily, so even after five days, we didn't get bored! Cleanliness: The room was cleaned daily and very thoroughly. Toiletries were provided in the room, but there didn't seem to be free drinking water or skincare products. I'm not sure if I needed to ask the front desk for those. However, the lobby lounge offered free drinks from 2 PM to 10 PM daily, and the pineapple sparkling water was particularly good. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money, especially with its unbeatable location and surroundings. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Okinawa!

I'd call this the best hotel location near Kokusai-dori! I traveled alone with my child during the National Day holiday, and my requirements were convenience for day trips, easy access to outlying islands, and good shopping options. Almont Hotel Naha Kokusai-dori ticked all the boxes! It's about 5 stops on the monorail from Naha Airport, a direct ride. The return trip is just as easy; after getting off, you walk for 5 minutes until you see a Family Mart convenience store, and the hotel is right next to it. Most of the front desk staff are South Asian, and their English is good. The service attitude is fine, but it's important to note that children aged 0-6 stay for free, but those over 7 years old will incur an extra charge. The price displayed by Ctrip's agent is incorrect; we paid a 700 yen per night single room supplement on the spot. Also, breakfast for children over 6 years old costs 1650 yen, so please be aware of these age restrictions. A 5-minute walk to the left of the hotel is Ryubo Department Store. The ice cream shop, which is a meeting point for day tours, is an 8 AM walk away, perfectly timed. Just a 3-minute walk from the meeting point is the entrance to Kokusai-dori, where you can shop 'til you drop. To the right of the hotel, about 50 meters away, are Daikoku Drugstore, 7-Eleven, and Lawson. A taxi to Naminoue Shrine costs the base fare of 600 yen. A taxi to Tomari Port is 1000 yen. There are ramen shops nearby, and the basement of the department store also has plenty of food options. Aside from the small room size, which might feel cramped if you have a lot of luggage, everything else is perfect! If you don't mind a small room, you can't go wrong with this place. The location is truly excellent, highly recommended!!!
