JR Clement Inn Takamatsu

I have stayed at Takamatsu Clement Inn on serveral occasions. I was already a frequent visitor to the region before this hotel opened. The location ofthe Clement Inn is perfect for arrival by train or highway bus (e.g. from Kobe) / arriving by ferry / travelling to several beuatiful islands by ferry / walking to see wonderful Ritsurin Garden (e.g. at dawn) / visiting the castle just opposite by the seaside / activities such as walking, jogging, shopping and finding restaurants that serve the execllent "sinuki" udon and other dishes. I asked and it appears that many of the staff are local to the region. The staff were consistently courteous, calm, friendly, and (when asked) informative. I will certainly stay at the Takamatsu Clement Inn again. Overall Takamatsu is a charming small city. The "Seto Naikai" (inland sea) and its islands are among my favourite places on earth. Tranquil, serene, relaxing during any season of the year.

first time staying in JR Clement inn, and I am staying in the one Takayama. it's only 2 mins walk from JR station, bus station and highway bus station which is very convenient. I have a very good memory. Room is spacious, Lobby is nice, free coffee and tea available, choice of amenities are good in quality and variety. House keeping is very good, everything is clean, neat and tidy. Staffs are very polite, helpful and friendly. The public bath area is clean, spacious and the dressing room light is very good and comfortable, the light is good for makeup too. yet it is not onsen, but the hot bath is facing Takayama port, I took the bath oneday in day time and enjoy the sea view which is superb.

This was an unexpectedly good stay. We had booked it for convenience and its location close to the station and ferry, since we planned to do island excursions. The room was a little small, but adequate and very clean. The onsen was an unexpected delight, and we really appreciated this after long days of walking. It really is super convenient for the station and ferry. It has a Kombini on the ground floor, great for quick snacks, and also the Izakaya (pub/restaurant) on the ground floor was really great. Nearby is a super cute arts district of Kitahamacho with cafes and shops.

The hotel didn't have a restaurant - hence 3/4 marks for Facilities. But takeaways from eg the ground floor7-Eleven, could be warmed/cooked in the hotel's microwave ovens on each floor. On the ground floor there was also a Japanese & an Italian restaurant, for breakfast (for which vouchers could be purchased at reception) & evening meals - very convenient. The hotel's (free) Wi-Fi was very useful, inc. for Google Translate, & worked in the two restaurants too. The (free) tea/coffee machine at reception was v useful. (But there was a kettle in the room too)
