Hotel berhampiran Istana Kochi, Kochi

Excellent parking service. But the lady that guides us to the room is too rushed and just want to finish as soon as she can. Hope such service can be improved in future.

Definitely NOT A 5 star hotel quality and service. When we arrived, we were not greeted at the door, we had quite a few luggages but none of the staff even insisted on helping. The rooms felt small, nothing interesting with the interior (to be honest, it felt just like a better version of a business hotel), no bathtub in the rooms just a plastic shower room. Another thing I noticed is due to having only two elevators, I often encountered to full elevators especially during busy hours when people go to the public bath on the 5th floor. We also had to pay 1000 yen per night extra for parking which I find it absurd. The staff were not very attentive and all looked kinda like students. Overall, this hotel should not be ranked 5 stars. I will not go back.

The hotel is centrally located near most of the major attractions. As for the room, it feels a bit dated, but well-maintained. There are limited amenities on the ground floor for us to take and use. BTW, they don't do housekeeping every day, but do give you a clean set of towels the next day by hanging them on your door. For those who drive, your car is stored in a Car- lift style building, so you dont really can access your car easily.

Very convenient location, just opposite to the JR station. We can have a view of JR station from our room. The restaurant - Rita Shokudo, which is not far from the hotel, is super good. The room is standard Japanese size but the room is good in size for 2 persons. About 10 to 15 mins walk to the main shopping street and food market.

Location was perfect as it was very close to the JR station. The local food market was 15 min away. Room size was ok, not too small. Nice staff but didn't speak English. I was asked to pick a time for room cleaning. The furniture looked quite new and I could smell the renovation. The website said no WIFI in the room. Actually, it had. I thought the website had not yet been updated. The major problem was insufficient illumination.

The owner can speak English and is very friendly. The food is delicious and reasonably priced, so I recommend you give it a try.

Great stay at Bright Park hotel. The staff were friendly, the room was clean and the location is good. Kochi castle is about 10 minute walk away and there are plenty is restaurants nearby. There is no laundry service on site, but there is a 24 laundrette 2 minute walk away where you can wash your clothes for ¥300. Would stay again

Unfortunately I did not have a very pleasant stay because the hotel is more outdated than what pictures looks like - room: not very clean but quiet - amenities: you can rent a bike for free which is useful, clean laundry machine - location: 10 min bike ride from the center of the city and 15 to the castle - staff: helpful

The hotel is dated but has lots of charm! Yes, the fittings and furniture is old and outdated but everything is working as it should. The room (twin room) was generous in space by Japan standards. Here are some plus points about the hotel: 1) The windows can be opened fully to allow generous amounts of wind in (not the usual small openings). 2) The hotel staff are so generous and kind, they allowed us to check-in early and check-out late without charge! This is also the reason why we will definitely stay here again if we are in Kochi. 3) Hotel is located in the heart of all the bars (there were hoards of salarymen hanging around the area in the night and it gets very lively) 4) It’s a cosy hotel with no frills (so bring your own shampoo and conditioner if you are fussy about it). To manage your expectations, note the following: 1) It’s an old establishment, so don’t expect everything to be sparkling new or matching. No usb outlet charging as well. 2) Due to the location, you might hear lots of street noise if you open the windows at night. All in all, a wonderful little charming hotel, run by people who have the interests of their guests. Highly recommended!

Hiking the OHenro, an inexpensive place to stay for 2 nights. Best part was the location, very quiet, close to the river. Hotel is dated, but good value, who cares if the bath tile is from the 80's, like all things Japanese, still spotless.
