Hotels near Takamatsu Historical Museum

"Great room, close to the station "

"Grand Base Takamatsu is an apartment rental more than a hotel. Although it was not what we expected it was perfect for our stay in Takamatsu. It is very well located near the main shopping arcade, has a terrific soba restaurant across the street. It has an ok kitchen and be prepared to do some shopping for breakfast. Check-in is. little odd (no front desk - follow written instructions). When the written instructions did not work, we were able to get some help on line fairly easily. If you're looking for a a "hotel" experience, this is not for you - but as a short-term apartment, it worked quite well. "

"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 !"

"very good staff freindly"

"Very cute rooms, the beds were private and spacious, bedding was very warm and comfortable (slept amazingly). I didn't get back in time for dinner but the udon for breakfast on the first morning was fantastic and I was serenaded by a lovely man playing Ghibli music and the beatles on a ukulele as I ate my cheesy bread on the second morning. Also, the free iced green tea was delicious. There were lots of helpful pamphlets in many languages about what to do and where to go, and the staff were helpful with recommendations and very kind and efficient in general. Lovely feel to the place and recommend!"
