Prince Smart Inn Naha

The hotel is nice and very new. The room was big, I had 2 single bed to myself that I could push next to each other to make one big bed 😊 4 pillows and the mattress was super comfortable. Very quiet at night, didn’t hear much outside noises or noises from my neighbors. The shower and bathroom are separate and both were nice. Full on bidet service for the toilet and option to have a waterfall shower 🚿 or regular shower (which I love. The soap and shampoo smelled really nice and my hair was super soft after use. The amenities are at the reception downstairs, you can take whatever you need including pyjamas, water bottles, toothbrush etc. The place is well located from the airport and close to the port if you want to visit the other islands or plan a day trip to go snorkeling. Many buses around, but be aware that the express ones often finish at around 5pm if it’s not summer so plan accordingly or you might need to take multiple local buses to get back. Family mart right next door and a 7-11 across the street. There’s a good variety of restaurants around. If you want a nice beach close by you can go to the American Village or take a bus to one of them.

The hotel was open in late 2022, therefore it is quite clean and modern. It has about 26 car parking spaces but at a charge of JPY1000/night. The bed is very comfortable and there are two pillows for each bed. The bathing area is separate from the toilet, better use of the facilities. Close to Monorail station, just at most 2 mins walk. There is family mart next to the hotel and 7/11 at the opposite side of the road.

The hotel is super modern. There are lockers to store luggage, breakfast is minimalist (but sufficient: three food options - the same every day - and a drink), rooms have a safe/fridge/tv set, guests can use one of many umbrellas if it rains. Rooms are bigger than in many other hotels in Japan and well designed, although there should be an armchair or a chair in the room to sit in rather than useless small stools. The shower and toilet - ultra modern, clean and totally awesome. The location is hard to beat: it is is easy to walk to the Tomari Port, Kokusai-dori, Naminoue Beach or the Prefectural Museum. There are plenty of convenience stores and restaurants around. And a Monorail stop is close by, it is an easy access to the airport.

Very good value for money. Polite and efficient staff. A comfortable room - excellent shower. Very good location near the harbour - about a 5 minute walk away , ideal for taking trips out to other islands. The coin laundry was really handy. From the hotel it's about a 7 minute walk to Miebashi station and about 15 to Kokusaidori - so a very good location generally.

Location from Miebashi station was a 4 min walk with luggage. Just turn right upon exit ( Okiei) & find elevator. Breakfast choice can be varied to include a hot meal. Cheerful breakfast staff. Front line staff relied a lot on translator as we spoke English. Still kudos for their effort in answering our questions. Umbrellas to use if there is rain is a nice touch. We like the simple but adequate amenities of yukata, toothbrush, etc to prevent wastage. Complimentary handcream would be great to have. The bathroom shower gel, shampoo & conditioner was like spa quality. I like the sleek power points on top of bed board ledge. The bed was firm & sleep was good. Luckily we had the back facing room which was very quiet. Also many nice eating places around the hotel not mentioned in the giant interactive map. Towels arereplaced daily. Thanks.
