"This hotel is about a 5 minute walk from the JR Takamatsu train station (which itself appears to be a major bus hub with both express and local buses). Maybe a 5 minute walk on from the JR station is the Kotoden Takamatsu-chikko train station for other connections. Not much further away is the ferry port which has ferries to Shodoshima, Naoshima and other places. In summary, the hotel is in an excellent location for transportation. I should mention there is another Toyoko Inn hotel slightly further away, so just be certain which one suits best. This hotel (ekimae) has very helpful staff, not all of whom speak English but will do their utmost to help. On the first (ground) floor is reception, washers and dryers, vending machines, and free coffee for most of the day. The rooms are spacious, feel fresh and modern, have well-sized mini-fridges. The rooms also have both wifi and an Ethernet cable for connectivity. The only other thing I would mention to be aware of is the shower controls - they are controlled by the sink mixer tap and I found when adjusting the water pressure (moving the tap vertically) any horizontal tap movement made the water too hot or cold. There is both an overhead shower and a hose one - like most showers I’d suggest getting the temperature right before stepping in. Overall this was my first time staying at a Toyoko Inn and I was impressed - more than happy to use this hotel and hotel chain again !"

"Pretty good place for a last-minute book. The “onsen” is a tiny space that’s actually your shower."
