Cari Hotel 2-Star di Naha, Okinawa

It only takes one to ruin a stay, but this time two selfish neurotic old Chinese speaking women came into room very late at night making so much noise talking and messing with baggage. Upon mentioning disturbance one old woman got angry. That same woman continued to keep me up until 2.16am messing with zipped baggage in bed and dropping heavy objects on the wood above my bed. Total disregard that it was very late and I believe it to be done with deliberation as it was continued for hours after I complained. Then after check in an african woman let her boyfriend in the women's dorm and stand obstructing doorway talking and coming in room. That said african woman and boyfriend were sitting in women's only powder room for hours. Clearly not respecting boundaries yet no one said anything. African woman put all her stuff in my area of room, which I kept clear, and not near her own bed. A very annoying and disruptive night. Not the hostels fault. Usually everything is peaceful here

ReTime located just shy away from Asahibashi station and a perfect walking distance from KOKUSAI DORI shopping street, tourist spots and various supermarkets. The hotel offers capsule rooms, family rooms and a cabin themed room where you are assigned either a top or bottom bunk. You also receive free slippers and borrow sleepwear during your stay. The hotel also offers complimentary basic amenities such as toothbrush, comb, shower caps, razors if you need them. At the lobby, there’s a beautiful wooden set of keyed lockers to choose to put away your shoes upon entering the building. The common space is cleaned very frequently, almost every few hours (Japan's standards will make you rethink your definition of cleanliness) and where guests can eat and drink (water and additional soft drinks provided, there's also a vending machine with a nice selection of snacks). The space very pleasantly airy with lots of sun, and overall a nice place to work, snack or relax as the cabin and capsule rooms have no windows. I loved the creativity as you are essentially sharing a bunk bed with privacy that’s provided with a sliding screen door. It’s decent, with adequate room for luggage but few may struggle if the luggage is quite large as the aisle can be a bit narrow. This can be reflected from your neighbour next door at times~! I found overall it was very comfortable and I was assigned the top bunk during my long stay. The bed is clean, with complimentary cleaning on the 7th day (10am-3pm), and there’s a decent sized desk. The privacy of the cabin room is definitely the main highlight about ReTime if one wishes for privacy but reduced budget than a standard hotel room. A slight issue with this kind of arrangement is shutting the screen doors may end up being noisy (the screen door naturally reduces soundproofing). However having stayed for quite some time, I found the bed and room overall very comfortable and decently spaced. If I stayed longer, this would not be an issue as the bed was quite spacious personally. The shower option as opposed to the public onsen baths is much appreciated as 1) some women are not comfortable with the public baths, and 2) when that time of the month happens...this would reassure future guests planning to come to ReTime. The additional complimentary ammeties such as toner, cleanser and lotion were surpising and great to use also. Some crticisms regarding the stay: upon entering, I was told check in was at 4pm, which is quite later than average . I found a coin locker nearby but would have liked to be informed I could have stayed in the common area until check in if desired. It was a bit dissapointing as I could have saved a few hundred yen and energy after a flight. The washing machine instruction was unclear as the yellow button had to be pressed before scanning the touch bracelet, the step which is not in the images, and the staff member assisting was a bit rude (it likely shows the issue with this particular step had occurred many times). Perhaps putting some numbered stickers may help with step by step - especially turning that yellow button to green. Overall it’s a positive experience to recharge and stay long term, however I personally found that the service can be improved.

Nos sentimos muy a gusto en casa de Tatsuya. La habitación era amplia y cómoda, con un gran cuarto de baño. La habitación y el baño estaban muy muy limpios. En los tres días que pasamos allí no nos faltó de nada. Se nota que Tatsuya presta mucha atención a los detalles. Usamos gratis las bicis y los paraguas. También nos gustó mucho que incluyera desayuno autoservicio sin un horario predefinido. Al salir, nos devolvió un 10% porque no habíamos necesitado el servicio de habitaciones.

It is good to see staff members from 2016. The location is considered very good as it is close to the museum and shopping mall with many nice shops and a supermarket. It is appreciated they have coffee and some simple breakfast to jumpstart your day. Most of the staff members are very kind and professional. Especially the cute tall young lady in the morning, the very professional and warm foreign lady, and the tall handsome young man who is exceptionally professional and helpful. Generally the staff is wonderful EXCEPT that lady from Sendai. She shouldn't work at a front desk of a hotel. The front desk is across from the door, only 30 centimeters from guests but she won't even bow her head. I noticed she was cold and unfriendly to an older Japanese guest,too. It is disrespectful

The is a capsule hotel. You cannot expect to have the service of a 5-star hotel. The value for money is undoubtedly high. Location is outstanding. A lot of convenience shops and restaurants are in the vicinity. Good for backpackers. A market is within 5 minutes walk for your understanding of Okinawa food culture. Staff are friendly and helpful.

寝るだけのお宿なら必要十分です。ホテルというよりは、マンスリーマンションみたいなお部屋でした。お部屋に洗濯機、乾燥機があったのは便利でした。私はあまり使わなかったですが、広いキッチンがついているので、長期滞在する方にはいいかもしれないです。立地はノレールの駅からは少し歩くので4にしました。

The place is so good and comfort. The location also good as we dont want to be too close to the tourist spots - a little bit away is more quiet. There are many good place for eating nearby the hotel, and great to have V21 supermarket threre!

I had a generally comfortable and pleasant stay at this property. The facilities were adequate and well-equipped, including a kitchen area where I could cook, a microwave, and laundry facilities, which were very convenient for a longer stay. The location is fairly good, with easy access to a nearby bus stop and monorail station. Check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow, especially regarding key collection. One minor downside was that there was construction work next door, which sometimes caused a bit of noise. Additionally, although the overall stay was comfortable, I tried to contact the service provider via chat for a specific need, but unfortunately did not receive a response. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with good facilities and a convenient location.

Nice hostel with a relaxed vibe. Inviting common areas. Rooms are functional, and meet all your basic needs. Proximity to the ferry to Zamami makes it perfect for a good night's sleep before heading to the islands in the morning.

Location is great, close to the bus stop and a lot of stores Facilities are a little old and some living may throw trash, host seems ok with it but not looks good But rest room and shower room are clean, if you just sleep for a few hours at a low price, this is a good place
