JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu

It feels a bit dated, but the rooms are a good size and the staff are friendly. Best of all, it's right in front of Takamatsu Port, so even when we took the last ferry back from Naoshima we could return to the hotel without feeling tired and enjoy our next plans.

The main shopping and dining streets are a bit of a walk—about 15–25 minutes. However, Takamatsu Port and the train station are less than a 5-minute walk—literally right outside—so if you plan to tour multiple islands or take the train to farther destinations, the location is perfect. There's even a direct airport limousine to the hotel, which makes transfers easy. The ocean-view rooms let you watch the sunrise, so you can relax and recharge just by staying in the room. The hotel facilities are all nice and clean. Since it's not a business-only hotel, the rooms feel more spacious. If I visit Takamatsu again, I'll definitely book here again!

Liked: The location near the train station with spectacular views over the Seto Inland Sea

Good location with nice and help staffs

Liked: Location is perfect, the room is clean and nice.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Not much

Disliked: The facility was worn, breakfast awful. I had to change rooms (paid more for larger room) to get air conditioning. No coffee in room, coffee in cafeteria awful. I had to go to 7-11 nearby to get decent cup of coffee. Staff seemed indifferent. Bar pathetic.

The booking was already cheaper than usual. I stayed in a Compact room—though it was listed as 23 m² it felt smaller. Breakfast was expensive and there weren’t many options. The reason I chose it was the location: close to the JR pier, which is convenient for island-hopping by ferry or transferring between cities. But the hotel’s dining and facilities are only average.

Liked: Location

Disliked: Old and only partially refurbished. Very inconvenient parking situation
