Hotel AreaOne Takamatsu

Near the train station and also had coffee, tea, nice staff available to help when we nee

Stayed here for concerts at Anabuki arena over the weekend + sightseeing, location was excellent. Provided free samples of popular Japanese shampoo&conditioner at the front desk which was great!

Cheap and decent central hotel, staff wearing masks is spooky and they are very distant but functional japanese hotel

There are 2 identically named hotels opposite the train station - the right one is closest to the sea, the other has a sign saying go to the next one. The reception area is very small and there is only the staff toilet if you need to use one. The staff are polite and helpful. The coffee machine at reception is good. The rooms are clean and a good size but are very old, the bathrooms look to be from the 1970s. The bed had a squeaky spring. The location is its main (and possibly only) strong point

Everything was as expected and the room was a comfortable size for solo travel, even allowing to open a suitcase properly which is sometimes very difficult in average Japan hotels with limited space! The location was amazing just a five mins stroll to the main train station, where you can do shopping conveniently, and also the ferry port for island hopping during the Setouchi Art Triennial. I was asked to stay in the 2nd building for the hotel which didn’t create any issues, just a small block away, the hotel/staff were very helpful in allowing to store the luggage even before and after check in for a full day!

Room is too small and bed is uncomfortable to sleep.
