Pros:

Lokalizacja względem dostępu do plaży, do centrum daleko, chodniki tragedia aby ciągnąć bagaże. Kontakt był ale tylko przez booking. Było czysto. Blisko market.

Cons:

Mam mieszane uczucia co do tego obiektu. Hotelem bym go nie nazwała, bo po 17 trzeba było samemu się meldować korzystając z kłódki z kodem. Przez caĺy pobyt z nikim nie miałam kontaktu. W podstawowym wyposażeniu brakowało kawy czy też cukru, herbata była. Straszny smród z kanalizacji w łazience. Obiekt wymaga remontu, odpadająca tapeta czy popękane płytki. Dostaliśmy grube kołdry gdy gorąco i wilgotno. Ręczniki na wymianę na zewnątrz ale jak chcieliwmy skorzystać były tylko małe. Szczerze, nie zatrzymałabym się tam raz jeszcze.

Ausgezeichnete Lage - großes Zimmer
Pros:

Sehr gute Lage - direkt am Strand und ein kleines Restaurant genau nebenan.
Weitere Restaurants und ein Supermarkt in Laufnähe.

Großes Zimmer, sehr komfortabel, super nettes Personal.
Bei unserem Aufenthalt war leider Baustelle, sodass es öfter nach Lack gerochen hat. Das war aber temporär.

Pros:

I had the best stay ever at the Gala hotel. 🫶🏻 Came here from Osaka after the intensive karate trainings (6 hours a day) and this was the perfect place to recover and relax. Placed right at the beach in a calm area, just far enough (half an hour walk) from the crazy city centre packed with herds of tourists. The bed was super comfortable and I have never ever had a bathroom this big in all of my stays in Japan and I am coming here for 10 years. There is a 24/7 grocery store 3 min walk away and so is the coin wash so everything you need is just there. The staff is super kind and helpful. Highly recommend!!!

Good and Bad
Pros:

The hotel with the best view of the beach, a very friendly staff.. I could feel the freshness of the beach when I woke up in the morning and opened the window.

Cons:

The hotel should use sewer traps to stop the smell coming up from the sewers..

Great place, surely come back here.
Pros:

Perfect location: near the beach and Naminoue shrine. 15 minutes from Naha Bus station and asahibashi station.
Huge supermarket AEON in 2 minutes (where you can use a microwave).
Very quiet BUT we stayed here in winter - not in the top season.

Large clean room with very comfy beds (also fridge, hot water in a shower/bath).

Cons:

WiFi connection is good for a vacation (around 36/36 mbps), but if you need a high speed connection you have to think about this place.
Also there is no microwave in a room, be ready to visit AEON for it))
