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.
ゲゲストWe are so glad we stayed in the Uno Hotel. It is quite new. Staff were really friendly and helpful at check in and whenever we went through the reception area. It is super close to the ferry wharves and the train station. Uno Port is a small town but has some restaurants, supermarket, convenience store etc all within 5-10 minutes walk of the hotel. Everything we needed after a day out at an ”art island”. We had considered staying in a bigger town like Takamatsu to go to Naoshima and Teshima but are really glad we stayed in UnoPort. The Uno Hotel is in a lovely spot looking out to the water and as an added bonus had a coin operated washing machine and dryer which always makes travelling easy. Breakfast was beautifully presented, very good quality and we were offered a different ”main” option for our 2nd and 3rd mornings. The staff at breakfast were very friendly and helpful - just like reception staff. We didn't use the restaurant for dinner but it was good to know it was there as an option. We didn't use the onsen but were given free access.
