Smile Hotel Okinawa Naha is conveniently located about 9 minutes from Naha Airport by car and 22 minutes by Yui Rail, including a 9-minute walk from Miebashi. The rooms are compact, but simple and equipped with everything you need, and most importantly, reasonably priced!
Point 1: I like the simple and functional rooms at Smile Hotel Okinawa Naha!
Hospitality Operations Corporation, which operates “Smile Hotel Okinawa Naha,” is a fast-growing company that has operated 40 hotels and 5 ski resorts nationwide in its 15 years of existence.
Smile Hotel Okinawa Naha” was rebranded and opened in 2016 from the former “Tokyo Daiichi Hotel Naha City Resort.
Rooms are not very spacious, at 14 square meters for a double room. However, they are simple, clean, and functional rooms of today, so if you are traveling alone or staying with a small group, I would say they are adequate.
There is even a room without a bed (for remote use only) as shown in the photo! That meets the needs of today’s travelers!
Furthermore, the hotel is located right next to Tomari-futon Passenger Terminal Building “Tomarin”, so it is very convenient for those who want to stay before or after visiting remote islands such as Kerama.
And what’s more, the price of 7,600 yen for two people including breakfast is very inexpensive.
It is no longer the case that you have to put up with old and small rooms! Nowadays, travelers’ skills are being tested to find hotels with attractive rooms!
Point 2: Smile Hotel Okinawa Naha’s super cheap breakfast is amazing!
Smile Hotel Okinawa Naha offers a breakfast package, but the price for a single breakfast is a whopping 700 yen!
It is not a buffet, but a set menu that includes onigiri rice balls, omelet and ham, natto, soup, fruit, pasta, salad, and coffee. (The menu may change a little every day.)
These days when everything is going up in price, the question is how far they can keep this price, but even so, it is nice to be able to have this breakfast for 700 yen.
Point 3: Amazingly, it is next to Smile Hotel Okinawa Naha and “Tomarin”!
Many people like the remote islands of Okinawa. This is especially true for those who do diving.
This “Smile Hotel Okinawa Naha” is located in a building next to Tomari Port in Naha, also known as Tomarin. Even though it is next door, the entrance is far away, so it takes about 3 minutes to walk there, but it is still very easy to come here by cab or Yui Rail from the hotel where you are staying.
