Kochi Ryoma Hotel

The lounge is excellent - nice sofa set, a TV, manga books, pamphlets on the attractions in kochi, a drinks machine where one can get free cold/hot coffee/tea/water. There is also a massage chair. Thumbs up for this. However, the free amenities are not many. The housekeeping only change the bath/face towels, bath robes but they do not clean the room daily. The hotel is a 15 minute walk from JR station. The other plus point is there is a great restaurant just opposite the hotel which serves great, affordable meals.

Not enough facilities in the hotel. Bad shampoo and only one outdoor slipper in each room. Itchy bed. Coin laundry available.

Clean and cozy.

The staff were very kind. It looked old and I was a little worried. The rooms are clean and although old, they are comfortable. When I listened carefully in the morning, I could hear the person in the next room snoring, but it wasn't that bothersome. I thought it would be more convenient to have a USB outlet.

The hotel is located at the corner where you exit Kochi Station's south exit, walk left (east) and turn right (south) at the corner past Comfort Hotel. It does not face the main street. The reception and lobby are on the second floor. The room is slightly larger than a normal business hotel. There is a free drinks corner in the lobby where you can enjoy coffee and tea. No juice. There are a lot of manga, and you can take them into your room and read them. Being close to the station is an advantage, and being far from the city is a disadvantage.
