- Masum (8/5): No lift -
- Tomáš (10/5): -
- René (8/5): - Einfaches Hotel an guter Lage, klein aber fein (7 Zimmer), Zimmer für jspanische Verhältnisse gross Zimmer im 4.OG und kein Lift, enges Trepoenhaus, schlechter Zimmerservice
- YUN-CHU (7/5): -

- Holly (9/5): Lovely location, lovely managers. - Great location, lovely room, carefully chosen decor. On one afternoon and evening, there was a strong solvent odor in the hall and in the 4th floor room. Likely was unavoidable, but caused headache. Otherwise, a perfect stay.

- Sally (10/5): -
- Anna (7/5): - Lokalizacja względem dostępu do plaży, do centrum daleko, chodniki tragedia aby ciągnąć bagaże. Kontakt był ale tylko przez booking. Było czysto. Blisko market. Mam mieszane uczucia co do tego obiektu. Hotelem bym go nie nazwała, bo po 17 trzeba było samemu się meldować korzystając z kłódki z kodem. Przez caĺy pobyt z nikim nie miałam kontaktu. W podstawowym wyposażeniu brakowało kawy czy też cukru, herbata była. Straszny smród z kanalizacji w łazience. Obiekt wymaga remontu, odpadająca tapeta czy popękane płytki. Dostaliśmy grube kołdry gdy gorąco i wilgotno. Ręczniki na wymianę na zewnątrz ale jak chcieliwmy skorzystać były tylko małe. Szczerze, nie zatrzymałabym się tam raz jeszcze.
- sabrina (10/5): -
- Alexandra (9/5): Ausgezeichnete Lage - großes Zimmer - Sehr gute Lage - direkt am Strand und ein kleines Restaurant genau nebenan.
Weitere Restaurants und ein Supermarkt in Laufnähe.
Großes Zimmer, sehr komfortabel, super nettes Personal.
Bei unserem Aufenthalt war leider Baustelle, sodass es öfter nach Lack gerochen hat. Das war aber temporär.
- Katie (8/5): -
- Tamara (9/5): Ich würde das Hotel wieder buchen. - Die Lage war sehr gut! Direkt am Strand und fussläufig 20 Minuten bis in die Innenstadt.
- Rudovic Zvanut (10/5): - I had the best stay ever at the Gala hotel. 🫶🏻 Came here from Osaka after the intensive karate trainings (6 hours a day) and this was the perfect place to recover and relax. Placed right at the beach in a calm area, just far enough (half an hour walk) from the crazy city centre packed with herds of tourists. The bed was super comfortable and I have never ever had a bathroom this big in all of my stays in Japan and I am coming here for 10 years. There is a 24/7 grocery store 3 min walk away and so is the coin wash so everything you need is just there. The staff is super kind and helpful. Highly recommend!!!
- Chanh (8/5): plaisante - emplacement bien bruit
- Kurumi (8/5): -
- HIROSHI (9/5): なかなか安く出なくなった物件なので、安く出た際には、また宿泊したい。 - なんといっても立地。
そして眺め。
この値段でこんなオーシャンビューがのぞめるのは、そうそう無い。 電子レンジが無いこと。
- Maruša (9/5): - It’s a great location. The owners or staff were very welcoming and helpful, they even carried our big suitcases up the stairs. There was an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom drain otherwise it was great.
- maximilian24 (9/5): -
- Windsor (10/5): - Room size, location, view, essentials on each floor, communication with the staff. Loved everything
- CHANGJOO (8/5): Good and Bad - The hotel with the best view of the beach, a very friendly staff.. I could feel the freshness of the beach when I woke up in the morning and opened the window. The hotel should use sewer traps to stop the smell coming up from the sewers..
- Viacheslav (9/5): Great affordable stay - + Awesome location (beach, harbour, monorail, touristic streets; everything is close)
+ Relatively big room
+ Quiet (depends on your neighbours, but we were lucky)
+ Very good value for money

- Taguchi (7/5): -
- Miketattoo (10/5): Best stay in Naha for us. Charming hotel, sound and lightproof! - Extremely friendly staff. Go and eat chicken in the foodcar in front of the hotel! They shouldnt have build that bridge.
- Tatiana (10/5): Great place, surely come back here. - Perfect location: near the beach and Naminoue shrine. 15 minutes from Naha Bus station and asahibashi station.
Huge supermarket AEON in 2 minutes (where you can use a microwave).
Very quiet BUT we stayed here in winter - not in the top season.
Large clean room with very comfy beds (also fridge, hot water in a shower/bath). WiFi connection is good for a vacation (around 36/36 mbps), but if you need a high speed connection you have to think about this place.
Also there is no microwave in a room, be ready to visit AEON for it))
- yakuwa (3/5): - ロケーション 部屋スリッパが不衛生
はいた時から足がかゆく
帰宅後病院受診 ミズムシ

- Maggie (9/5): Comfortable and super clean accommodation in good location. - Comfortable and super clean accommodation in good location. Although we had no personal contact to the hotel management, everything was explained and prepared perfectly. Also, due to ongoing facade/roof refurbishments (windows were protected with plastic material, but could be opened), that were not disturbing at all, we received a cookies present that we thought was very nice and considerate. Thank you very much for it!
Koji of Nijiiro Café next door offers delicious fresh dishes. We specifically loved the clam chowder and mango curry. :-)
- Karin Marleen (8/5): -
- YA CHUN (10/5): 有海景,離波上宮很近,設備齊全又很乾淨~ - 旁邊就是波上宮,步行能到,附近還有24小時不打烊連鎖超市,看出去還有海景!

- Jorge (9/5): Kurze Aufenthalt vor einem Strand in Naha. - Es gibt einen Strand ein paar Minuten vor dem Hotel. Der Aussicht vom Fenstern des Zimmers war sehr schön. Das Badezimmer hat ein elektronisches Bidet. Wir bekam Schampus, Spülung, Duschgel, Zahnbürste, Zahnpasta, einen Kamm, einen Rasierer. Die Dusche hat einen starken Wasserdruck. Die Betten waren bequem. Nicht zu weit vom Flughafen und etwa einen Kilometer von der Station des Einschienenbahns. Das einzige, dass es mir nicht gefallen hat, ist dass, das Hotel keinen Umzug hat. Es ist ein altes Gebäude, ohne Umzug. Das Hotel befindet sich ein bisschen weit vom Stadtzentrum.
- Uchida (10/5): 控え目に言って最高です。あのような立地で、リーズナブルな値段で、ケチをつける人がいるのでしょうか?スタッフの方ともとても気持ち良いやり取りが出来ました。心より感謝申し上げます、ありがとうございました‼️ - ロケーションがとにかく最高です。目の前がビーチであること、コンビニやレストランが近くにあること、また駅やバス停も近くて、車がなくても全く問題ありません。部屋も清潔感があり、プライバシーが確保されていて、満足しかありません。29泊させていただいたのですが 強いてあげるなら、電子レンジがあったらなぁ…と思うくらいでした。でもそれもコンビニやスーパーには置いてあるので、困りはしませんでした。パックご飯を食べるときに、そう思った程度です。
- Karla (8/5): -
- Kazuya (8/5): コスパがいい! - 部屋が広く近くにスーパーもあり便利が良かった タオル交換の新しいタオルが置いてなく、フロントや緊急連絡先にも連絡したけど繋がらずタオル無いままでした、、、
- 正木 (5/5): 安さでいろんなことが我慢できる。 - すごく安く宿泊することができた。 排水溝の匂いが気になる。
お風呂はシャワーでお湯を溜める形式?少しビックリした。
- Kawada (10/5): 最高 - スタッフさんの対応がとても良かったです。景色も素敵でとても良かったです。 なし
- Dearbhail (6/5): - There was a very strong smell of sewerage from the bathroom.
There’s no lift so you have to carry your bags up at least 2 floors depending on the room you get.
A good walk from any public transport.
- Tadej Zinreih (8/5): - Close to the beach The room is not sound proof
- Michael (8/5): -
- Luca (6/5): -
- Jing (7/5): - 比较价廉的海滩度假旅社
- Hilde MH (7/5): Greit, rent rom, fin størrelse på rommet, kort til stranda :) - Kort vei til stranda Egentlig ingenting, måtte gå litt til by’n
- Sakira (8/5): - Very convenient for a one night stay. Infront of a nice beach, very kind staff, room was great for the value.
- Camilo (9/5): -
- Dedenise (7/5): Ok per una notte di passaggio - Il check in in autonomia è stato facile e veloce. La stanza era pulita. Eravamo al 4° piano senza ascensore, se avessimo avuto i bagagli pesanti sarebbe stato molto complesso e faticoso. Non affaccia sulla spiaggia e basta, c'è anche una grande superstrada che passa proprio sul mare.
- Cindy (10/5): -
- akiko (7/5): 徒歩10秒で海!連泊素泊まりに最適! - 娘と二人旅でした。ご飯や遊びは周辺で楽しむ予定だったので気軽に素泊まりできてよかったです。徒歩10秒で海なのも、そのまま部屋に帰ってゆっくり着替えなどができてよかったです。徒歩圏内にスーパーやコインランドリーもあって便利でした。 特になし。素泊まりで連泊する人はコストも抑えられてよかったです。
- Angela (8/5): -
- Tatiana (9/5): -
- chiba (7/5): 良かった。 - 建物は90年代くらいと思うが、ホテル入り口はオートロックにしてあり、外出が容易である。
立地はビーチと波上宮が近く観光ができた。また、イオンマックスバリューが近いので食材、飲料の調達が容易
レジャー目的、素泊りで利用するには十分 しいて言えば、アメニティでスリッパは使い捨ての物を準備してあればさらに良いかと。(清潔感)
- Sandra (10/5): -
- YU CHEN (8/5): 讚讚 - 房間整體整潔,價格非常好,距離波之上海灘很近,附近有AEON超商,相當便利👍 小缺點是離公車站還有國際通有一段距離,大爆買走回去腳會斷。
- Jeremy (7/5): -
- Alice (8/5): Ok if you are staying a few days, for sleeping only - Nice wallpaper in the room and sea view The bathroom was very old designed, we had only a fridge and a boiling water. It doesn’t have a balcony
- Michal (10/5): -
- NOBUYUKI (5/5): ラブホっぽい - 立地が良い 清潔感が薄い。前の利用者のマスコット人形が置かれてて不気味だった。
- Miluska (8/5): -
- Tanja (8/5): Es war ein super Hotel, um in Japan anzukommen. - Lage direkt am kleinen Strand. Super um sich abzukühlen.
Alles sehr geräumig und sauber.
- Tanja (8/5): -
- KATSUMI (9/5): のんびり - 清潔感があり、立地は最高!スタッフもにこやかで親切、リゾートをリーズナブル&のんびり楽しむにはピッタリのホテルでした😊 特にありません
- Eva (8/5): -
- Adrián (9/5): Superb - Location, price and the room itself. Good choice.
- Wen (7/5): Overall it was good stay. - It's very close to the beach, and there's a supermarket just two minutes away. However, it takes about 15 minutes to walk to Kokusai-dori Street. The smell of sewage.
- コ二ー (8/5): Very good -
- Sara (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. Location was great, staff were amazing, especially the guy with glasses who works in the office. He helped us a lot, very kind and generous person. I would recommend this hotel to everyone.
- Mary (6/5): Close to airport and in the beach - Location Basic, needs updating
- Codie (9/5): Value Stay at Lovely Oceanfront Property - Staff was very nice and even carried our luggage up to our (4th floor walkup) room
Staff was communicative through the booking app
Ocean view
Fairly large size room for Japan Accommodations were a little basic, but this was expected and still very good for the price
Just be aware there is no elevator / it is not handicap-accessible
- Maibritt (8/5): Short stop over in Naha - It was ok It was a bit far from public transport and the city centre
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - Loved it, simple but very comfy, loved the water pressure in the shower 🚿 😂
- Darby (9/5): Superb - The staff and their friendliness Nothing
- Manola (10/5): Short stay after long flight - Everything was alright 👍
- Kwok (7/5): Overall it was good for costs savings as rooms are comfortable and clean. - Don;t expect luxury but for the price it was good value. The hotel has total of 4 storeys and no elevator in the hotel. However the reception man was kind enough to carry our luggage up for us. Check in and check out was a smooth easy process. No housekeeping unless you pay extra but they will provide fresh change of towels everyday. Would be nice if the staff at least clears the garbage bin instead of guests having to put the garbage bag outside the room
- Alisa (9/5): Amazing ocean view! - The ocean view from this hotel is amazing! I could see the beach right from my window. The owner is very friendly and always responds quickly to any questions on Booking.com Chat. That night, my hairdryer didn’t work, and the owner replaced it for me the next morning. The bathroom is a bit old, and there’s no elevator, but that wasn’t a problem for me. The bed was soft and very comfortable—I slept so well! I also enjoyed a warm bath both nights. The only downside is that the rooms are not soundproof, so I could hear people on the stairs and in the nearby rooms when they came back at night.
- Marco (8/5): Good hotel for staying in Naha - Location is good for sightseeing in Naha, most of the things are accessible by walking/monorail/taxi.
Hotel room is very spacious Bathroom is a bit old and ventilation not so good
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (8/5): Very good -
- Joselito (7/5): Good -
- Ahmed (7/5): it was good, but I expected a little better - location, price environment
- Daniel (9/5): Beautiful spot between city and sea - You can‘t beat the central location with beach for morning swimming. Everything great. I can handle my baggage easily, but be aware no escalator
- Mika (8/5): We had a lovely stay - The location was perfect. Walking distance (30 seconds) to the beach and the view from the room was great. Where the hotel is located - because it was near the beach, couldn't catch a train there, although it only took 30min via bus and walking, with 2 kids it was interesting.
It also did not have any elevators and we travelled with a pram so it became a nuisance. However we were there for only 3 nights and the staff were really helpful.
- Angela (9/5): a great base . we used it twice to stay before going to the airport - great location. easy to find. very clean and easy. not luxury but great value for money all fine
- Videos (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vo (7/5): Good - the bathroom has a bad smell
- Walker (8/5): Very good -
- Bunyamin (9/5): Superb -
- Nick (3/5): Security was not taken seriously. Worst situation I've had in 15 years of travel. - The beach view out the front window was very nice.
A view wasn't worth it by a long shot though... as you'll read about what I didn't like. There was belligerent and abusive guests staying on the same floor as us. We could hear them scream at each other for about 3 hours our first night. The hotel owner acknowledged the problem when we reported it, but did nothing about it the first night but issued them a warning. The second night, it happened again, this time with the man yelling and the women's screams broke our heart when the disruptive guests started hitting each other at 2am.
Knowing this, we left for a new hotel first thing on our 3rd day of a 4 day pre-payed stay. We have not received a refund yet for the nights we chose to leave early due to this...but it was worth it to us to check out and double pay to stay somewhere else to avoid the unsafe situation that the owner appeared to care little about. Booking com at least should not reward this lack of security and refund us our 3rd and 4th nights.
Honestly, this was the single most traumatizing stay I've had after 15 years of traveling. The owners did nothing two nights in a row. After several guests complained!! No calling the police, no kicking the abusive party out of the hotel. No refunds when we're close to leave when they choose to do nothing.
Nothing.
What a shame.
- Miho (10/5): Best location in Naha City - The location was awesome, close to CBD, beach, a supermarket and the airport.
The beach was in front of our room and we could see people enjoying swimming and a cruise ship was coming and going.
The bathroom was large. It was a spacious room with nice lighting. Since the room was in 4th floor, the view was great. However there was no lift and it was difficult to carry a heavy luggage to 4th floor.
I also wanted to have more coat hungers and a microwave.
- Stuart (10/5): Really enjoyed our stay here. Would definitely book this hotel again 10/10 - Great location. Hotel was clean and the lady who runs it was very pleasant Loved everything about it
