Alphabed Inn Takamatsuekimae

The location was great, about a 7-minute walk from Takamatsu Station South Exit. There were four of us staying, and there was one single bed and two bunk beds, for a total of five beds. The hotel seemed to be mostly unmanned. There were basic amenities and towels, so it was perfectly fine for a normal stay. It was a stylish hotel, the kind you often see these days.

Location: Very convenient, just a 5-minute walk from Hyogocho Shopping Street, 10 minutes to Takamatsu Station, 10 minutes to Takamatsu Port, and 10 minutes to Takamatsu Castle and Tamamo Park. There are many shopping malls near Takamatsu Station, and plenty of restaurants nearby, making this location extremely convenient! Bathroom Facilities: This is an unmanned self-service hotel, so there's no front desk. However, the electronic check-in instructions at the entrance are very convenient; just follow the steps. After self-check-in, you'll be given a password to open the key box, and then you can get the key corresponding to your room number. The only drawback is that there's no elevator, so you have to carry large luggage up yourself. The common lounge on the first floor is quite nice for eating and chatting, and there's also an area for storing luggage; you can lock it yourself with a ring lock. The room was clean and odorless, but I don't know why the air conditioner kept automatically turning off twice, once at 3 AM and once at 6 AM, which was a bit strange, waking me up from the heat! I don't know if this was intentional by the hotel or a mistake by the previous guest. I booked a family room that sleeps four people, with two sets of bunk beds. Each floor had self-service toothbrushes, earplugs, and coffee/tea dispensers. The room also had a refrigerator and microwave, which was quite nice. The surrounding area has convenient restaurants and supermarkets. Overall, a perfect score!

The location is perfect; the station, shopping street, and restaurants are all within a 10-minute walk. The rest is just average, typical hostel. The restaurant kitchen is available for free use, and there's a self-service luggage storage area in the lobby.

This time I stayed in a 7-person room (but 3 people were staying there). Since it was self-check-in, it took a while to figure out how to enter the check-in information, but overall it wasn't too difficult. A note: after 10 PM, you need a password to open the door to the hotel lobby. The password was written in the email I received earlier, so please pay attention. (I didn't notice it and waited outside the door for a while before someone came out to open it.) Also, the hotel has two floors; I didn't know it was on the second floor when I booked. There's no elevator, so you have to carry your luggage up the stairs yourself. The room was generally okay, but the most attractive feature was that it was only a 5-8 minute walk to the shopping street, which was very convenient.
