Barcelo in Nu Island

"Amazing hotel right at Tokushima station. Just outside the hotel is a major bus terminal with both local and express buses to places such as Kobe and Osaka. A 5 to 10 minute walk west of the hotel takes you to the Tokushima Castle Museum and it’s excellent garden. A 10 minute walk south of the hotel takes you to the Awaodori Kaikan with awaodori shows, and ropeway access to Mt Bizan. Many shopping and dining options right next to the hotel in the Clement Plaza and also in the surrounding area (including 7/11’s). Although I didn’t try it this trip, the hotel also has a number of dining options itself (they also appear to do banquets for larger groups). Breakfast buffet (which had excellent seating capacity), had a huge selection of food options with attentive staff to ensure tables are cleaned, and food always kept stocked. Many reception staff speak English and are extremely helpful e.g. offering advice and helping with luggage forwarding. My room was large, luxurious with mini-fridge, coffee and tea. Wifi was good, and although I didn’t use it my room also had an ethernet cable. Unrelated to the hotel, please note that as far as I could tell IC cards (such as Suica and Pasmo) cannot be used on Tokushima trains, although many shops and restaurants in Tokushima do accept them. Service area on the hotel second floor with combination washer/dryers, microwave and vending machine. Overall a fantastic hotel and I would definitely recommend."

"スタッフの態度がとても良かった。2日間気持ちよく過ごせた。"

"This is a mountain top resort hotel with spectacular views of the city, ocean and surrounds. There is a wonderful park next to the hotel for quiet and relaxing walks. (NB - this is in a remote, isolated area, no shopping or crowds!!). A great place to relax and enjoy with no distractions. A free shuttle will take you from Tokushima Station and return you after your visit. The meals are buffet-style, good variety of Japanese dishes (limited selection of western dishes). Not gourmet but very satisfying. The public baths are wonderful, especially enjoying the outdoors area. There is even a small Karaoke room which can be a lot of fun. Excellent value for money. Recommended."

"Excellent location just minutes from the train station and bus lines. Lot's of excellent eating locations within 10-15 min walking. Very nice public bath on the top floor with natural spring water. There are two wings, East and West. The rooms in the original wing (West, I believe) are getting a bit dated but still quite decent. A couple of proximate restaurants also offer a 10% discount if you show your room key. This is a very slightly higher-end business style hotel and great value. Recommended."

"The staff was really amazing.Specifically 岸本さん。Breakfast was excellent."

"Great value for money !!"

"Toyoko inn is always excellent value. I especially loved how friendly and helpful the staff were at this branch!"

"It’s far from the noise of the big city. "

"Le transport vers la gare de Kada est bien organisée. La réception nous a appelée un taxi puisque nous etions a l'exterieur des heures de navettes. Environ 1000 ¥ cest raisonnable. La vue est imprenables et que les repas traditionnelle (souper et dejeuner) délicieux. "
