Naha Tokyu REI Hotel is a 215-room city hotel at Asahi-machi in central Naha, close to the monorail and the bus terminal. It is a three-and-a-half class property and guests rate it as excellent. Kokusai Street, the main shopping and dining avenue, is about three minutes on foot, the prefectural office six and Asahibashi Station about four, while Naha Airport is about ten minutes away by car. Rooms come as singles, doubles, twins, deluxe twins, balcony rooms, barrier-free rooms, connecting pairs and quadruple rooms, so there is a type for most groups. All rooms have air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a fridge, a kettle, a bidet and toiletries, and the building is smoke-free.
Location and getting around
For a first visit the hotel is easy to use. The monorail takes you to Shuri Castle Park and the airport without a car, and the buses at the terminal nearby serve the south and the east coast. Kokusai Street is close for evening meals and souvenirs, and the Makishi market is a short walk further. Tomari Port is a short drive away for island ferries. If you plan to hire a car, a limited number of paid parking spaces are available, so reserve early.
Rooms, dining and facilities
A restaurant on site serves a buffet breakfast for an extra charge, and there are many cafes and soba shops nearby. The hotel has laundry facilities, luggage storage, a computer station, an electric car charger and business services, which suits both holiday and work travellers. Barrier-free rooms and connecting rooms are useful for families and guests with reduced mobility. Rooms are neat and compact, and the beds are comfortable.
Who it suits and what to know: first-time visitors, couples and families who want a practical base in Naha before or after a beach stay, and travellers using the monorail. Check-in starts in the afternoon and runs until midnight, with late arrival possible in limited hours, and check-out is at ten. Pets are not allowed. Naha can be busy during school holidays, Golden Week and the Naha tug-of-war festival season, so book early and compare room types and cancellation rules before you pay.
If you want a beach, choose one of the resorts on the west or north coast in this guide. Many travellers pair a night or two here with a longer resort stay, using Naha for castles, museums and food, and the coast for sand and sea. A typical plan is to spend the first evening on Kokusai Street, the next day at Shuri Castle Park and the lanes of Tsuboya, and then transfer north or west by car or bus.
