I was put up at this hotel for a conference next door at the community center. The lobby is spacious, the staff were courteous, and made attempts to communicate using English. Access to the room floors can be an issue as there are only 2 elevators (plus 1 more for access to the function rooms and top floor restaurant) servicing 22 floors. The room is clean and fairly spacious by Japanese standards, and everything was in working order, though I do get a feel that most things are a bit dated. As it is centrally located, access to the tram station is only a few hundred metres away, the airport express bus stop is a few more away. There are taxis waiting at the entrance during the day. Buffet breakfast spread is great and the Japanese food is delicious. I did not check out the gym facilities, as we were walking about 5 to 10kms daily exploring Kochi.

Lovely hotel in a central location. Rooms were large for Japan standards . Clean serviced well and a great bathroom . Comfortable beds and wonderful views of the mountains and city from our room on the 14 th floor . Buffet breakfast wasn’t cheap( approx $30AUD each) but full of a terrific selection of Asian and western foods - the view from the restaurant is spectacular . Would defiantly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kochi wonderful stay

This is a lovely luxurious hotel beside a canal. Our room was spacious, stylish and very comfortable. The highlight was the breakfast on the 22nd floor with a huge and outstanding array of delicious Japanese and Western food, including local specialities such as hat bread, and a cook's station for eggs and soup. The views over the city to the hills are magnificent.
The hotel is a little out from the centre and there don't seem to be any nearby restaurants (though there is a convenience store a short walk away). But it is near a tram stop and only a couple of stops down the line takes you to many options.
Highly recommended.
