Kagawa Gastfamilien

As long as your expectations are set at around a hostel level, then this place is great. Lovely views, convenient location, rooms are clean and feel fairly spacious, nicely designed. Beyond that, we felt there was more care that could have been extended. We left our bags as it was too early to check in, and spent the day out sight seeing in extreme heat. When we returned, complete overheated and exhausted, our bags were still at the bottom of 3 levels of stairs, so we had to lug them up three levels. We then arrived at our room and it was like a sauna! No air conditioning on and the fridge was turned off! So the cold drinks we had bought had no way of staying cold as the fridge took time to work. The air con took ages to cool down the room. It would have been a really simple gesture, knowing the heat and knowing we were unlikely to get bank to our room until later, to turn those on for us. There was also no warning given about dinner options - most things book out and close early. The restaurant attached to My Lodge just shrugged their shoulders when we looked for solutions. It would make a huge difference to the stay of guests if, upon check-in or even at the time of booking, they were advised about limited dinner options. And if in Summer, air conditioning and fridges were turned on. I understand that taking bags to the room may be too much for the owners as it’s a steep climb, but this also may prove difficult for some guests, so something to be aware of. These may sound like small things, but they made our stay so much more tiring and uncomfortable.

Stayed two nights at this great communal type accommodation on Naoshima (fantastic island btw). Was warmly greeted by the staff including the host who runs the place, and was able to squeak my check-in a little earlier which I was very thankful for. I was on the ground floor in possibly the only room on that level, and never had to wait for the bathroom or shower (possibly because I was always up early). My room was a great size with two beds and a desk and well functioning AC. My only complaint about the room was the sheer drapes which let light in, which prompted me to wear a sleep mask. Breakfast in the morning was simple coffee or tea and bread with jam - a perfect start for me and much appreciated. Location is great - situated in the busiest part of the island, which is important especially at dinner when many other areas simply close up. All in all a great stay.

Große Yurt mit 4 Betten. Sehr sauber. ziemlich harte Betten. Ausgezeichnete Lage in der Nähe des Benesse Museum (Wanderweite, oder neben dem Bushalte). Ausgezeichnete Klimaanlage. Toiletten und Dusche sind ziemlich weit von den Yurten entfernt. Basiskomfort aber das’ ok. Sehr ziemlich Platz. Das Essen ist gut: Sie erhalten eine große Platte mit Fleisch und einigen Schalenfrüchten, Gemüse auf einen Tisch bbq. Frühstück ist zu grundlegende und nicht unser Geschmack: japanische Udon Nüsse. Tipp: Gehen Sie zum nahegelegenen Terrace Restaurant : Sie erhalten ein ausgezeichnetes Frühstücksbuffet mit Tonnen von Wahl für rund 25-30 Euro.
