Awa Kanko Hotel

Facilities: The facilities are a bit dated, but impeccably clean. While the rooms are on the smaller side, the hotel's location is superb, right by Tokushima Station, and just a few minutes' walk from the bus stop. Cleanliness: Excellent. Location: Its proximity to Tokushima Station makes dining and transportation incredibly convenient. This proved invaluable on our departure; we had only ten minutes to alight from our bus and collect our luggage, yet we still comfortably made our connection for the Osaka-bound bus. Plus, the Tokushima Library is conveniently located right next door, open until 9 PM, offering a fantastic opportunity to take children to explore its extensive collection of books. Service: They offer complimentary luggage storage. It was my first experience with a self-service luggage retrieval system, which was quite efficient.

Despite the hotel opening in 1949 and its last major renovation being in 1988, the lobby and bathrooms clearly appear to have been recently updated and were spotless. The in-room facilities, however, definitely show their age. The air conditioning is controlled from the bedside table, with the temperature displayed in Fahrenheit. Nevertheless, the room was very clean overall.

Convenient underground parking was available right at the hotel. The room's design, layout, and color scheme felt quite standard, much like other hotels, but it was clean. However, breakfast was not included. A nice touch was the pajamas provided in the room! 👏👏👏

The hotel is conveniently located near the JR station. It was surprisingly modern and tasteful, and the rooms were more spacious than those at similarly priced chain hotels. The staff were very friendly and polite. What impressed us even more was that when they cleaned our room while we were out, they even neatly folded the freshly washed clothes we had left spread on the bed. Highly recommended.

The hotel facilities and service were excellent. The room was quite spacious; we could easily open two large suitcases and still had plenty of room to move around. Its location is also super convenient, being very close to the JR station.

The room was spacious enough to fully open a 28-inch suitcase.

The location is fine, though it's not a prime tourist destination. However, the facilities show thoughtful design, and the staff are remarkably patient. Despite a few minor shortcomings, it boasts many strong points, making it a place worth revisiting.
