Kochi Kuroshio Hotel

There are not many staff members, but it was easy to see which services they focus on, and I felt it is a comfortable and welcoming Hotel. The fresh flowers next to the elevator were very soothing. The Room was spacious and clean, and there was a water dispenser in the hallway where you can enjoy delicious cold water. The bath is an Onsen with plenty of space to relax, and breakfast in the morning was exceptionally delicious. I wanted to thank you in person for the wonderful breakfast, but our timing didn’t match. It helped me recover from my fatigue and left me feeling refreshed and energized.

I made a Reservation for a twin smoking Room. There was no kettle in the Room, but I didn’t need one. Amenities are available on the first floor. The Onsen is in the neighboring building with a connecting passageway; the laundry area along the way feels a bit out of place, but it’s useful. The water is alkaline with pH 9.0—my skin felt smooth and I was very satisfied. The temperature was just right—not too hot or too lukewarm—and I was satisfied. There is also a smoking area near the first-floor exit, which I appreciated. Breakfast included toast, yogurt, coffee, orange juice, vegetable salad, scrambled eggs, sausages, natto, Onsen eggs, steamed rice, miso soup, and many more items—I was very satisfied. I was surprised to find bonito served in the morning as well. There is a yakiniku restaurant next door. A FamilyMart is less than a 5-minute walk away. The Hotel staff were kind and courteous in their email communication as well—I was satisfied. Since my morning flight was early, I arranged a taxi Reservation. It arrived right on time, and I was surprised again when the driver told me his younger brother happens to live in my hometown. Although it’s a Hotel in the suburbs, I was satisfied with many aspects of my stay overall.
