THE NEST NAHA
Our stay was wonderful at this hotel. The staff were very friendly and we love how spacious the lobby and the rooms are. A lot of daily care items such as brushes, toothbrushes, and cotton swabs and tips were provided in the room and we enjoyed the pool almost daily.

Terrace Resort Mihama
Great spot! After travelling all over Japan and basically staying in shoe boxes, the Terrace resort felt like home. Everything was clean, beds were soft and cozy, and large closet to hang your clothes. Having a washer/dryer and a kitchenette was super handy too. The value here was unmatched.

B/C HOTEL NAHA Hotel with rental car
The hotel room is small, but comfortable. The range of items they have for the guests to borrow(it says “rent” but there’s no charge) is amazing, there is on site free laundry facilities and its on a quiet street that’s a short(800-1000 yen) uber to downtown.
