Hotel Minatoya

As always, this simple hotel feels like home. Staff is amazing, super friendly... breakfast is basic, but sufficient. It's really clean and located close to the station. I would choose it again.

Very close to the station, lovely public bath and helpful and friendly staff

It's always a pleasant experience, it feels like home. Convenient for dining and close to the train station. Rooms are a bit small, but it's the experience that matters.

Staff always greet with smiles and was eager to answer any questions guests have. The rooms are good value and the hotel is not far from the main train station as well as team station. There is also a supermarket 1 block away to the east which will have better and cheaper food offerings than the convenience stalls. 2-3 tram stops away from the city's main shopping street.Breakfast is served as a set and you can select one of 4 options (Japanese (rice with fish), Western (toast and 2 eggs done sunny side up), Japanese curry rice with chicken or Japanese curry rice with vegetables. I like the idea of avoiding wastage.There's also a free public bath on the 1st floor.

My single bed room was tiny. The unit bath also needed some refurbishment while the air heater operates at a very loud volume. Temperature control was difficult and it was always either too cold or hot for me (also has to do with uncharacteristically warm weather in end-Nov 2024)

Staff are friendly and helpful. Walking distance to Kochi station. Nice and spacious onsen is quite rewarding for a tiring day touring the city.

The facility looks very dated. The room and bathroom have unpleasant stale smell. The air conditioner is so dusty and not working well - I checked in during the warmer day in Kochi but the air conditioner failed to cool down the room at all.

Close to station and downtown areas.

Aged, worn out and not clean. Stayed in a Japanese style room with stains all over floor and walls. Old aircon, very humid. Strange smell.

Stayed twice, once at the beginning and once at the end of my trip. Easy walk from the airport bus stop and train station. Very grateful for the free bicycles to get around town. Didn’t try the co-working area. Big bath on the 2F was very nice.

Parking was plentiful but expensive (you can park for half the price next door). English was limited, but they made a good effort and welcomed me back. My room had a night light which was very odd. It couldn’t be switched off or removed.

Close to Kochi station and the tram, so it is very convenient. Free coffee in the morning is always good.Staff are very helpful and attentive.Room was appropriate in size and had a lot of space.

Elevator is a bit cramped. Not really good for guests with a lot of luggage.Room smelled of lingering cigarettes.

Comfy futons. Good public onsen bath. Bathroom was sufficient. Fairly good location. Staff was amazing - helped us carry out luggages from the street to the reception area.

The room was small for 2 people. We didn't have space to put the luggages with the futons laid out. So we had to put them in the entrance area.

It's always a good experience staying at Minatoya. I booked it because of the futon rooms especially. Very friendly staff and sufficient facilities.It's a walking distance to almost everything.

It was nice to have a public bath. Staff were helpful and they stood outside the building to welcome guests.

A little far from the main shopping streets.

centrally located,well equipped

small room

Near the station. There are bicycles to rent and it’s free. The tatami room is good. The public bathroom is nice. The breakfast is good.

Non

Close to the station, with tatami floor and futon beds. Perfect experience as a local type of accomodation. Breakfast was sufficient and onsen is nice.

Just a smell of cigarettes throughout the corridors.

Zentral Location nice public Bath very friendly staff great value for the money

Clean simple easy

This would have been just fine for a single person. Room, bathroom, and bed were tiny for a couple to stay in.

Very close to kochi station and cheap. The staff were extremely accomodating of my last minute change of plans.

Kind of dirty and run down. Everyone staying at the hotel seemed to be male.

The Japanese style room. Proximity to the station.

Close to tram and station.

Nothing so far.

staff were good

breakfast was not good
