2-Star Hotels in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan

I was able to check in around noon as my room was already prepared! They quickly handed me the key and showed me around the facilities. There was plenty of space to open my suitcase, and I honestly didn't expect such a comfortable solo room stay for such a low price. It was a really pleasant trip. The hotel is only about a 5-minute walk from the station, making it super convenient for solo travelers without a car. I was also thrilled to find high-end beauty tools like Refa, Kinujo, and Repronizer for the hair iron and dryer – a dream for any beauty enthusiast! The water server and amenities, including toothbrushes, hairbands, hair ties, and combs, were all perfectly stocked. It was a bit intimidating to use the shared shower and living spaces on the same floor as men, but even with that, it's definitely a place I'd want to stay at again.

ReTime located just shy away from Asahibashi station and a perfect walking distance from KOKUSAI DORI shopping street, tourist spots and various supermarkets. The hotel offers capsule rooms, family rooms and a cabin themed room where you are assigned either a top or bottom bunk. You also receive free slippers and borrow sleepwear during your stay. The hotel also offers complimentary basic amenities such as toothbrush, comb, shower caps, razors if you need them. At the lobby, there’s a beautiful wooden set of keyed lockers to choose to put away your shoes upon entering the building. The common space is cleaned very frequently, almost every few hours (Japan's standards will make you rethink your definition of cleanliness) and where guests can eat and drink (water and additional soft drinks provided, there's also a vending machine with a nice selection of snacks). The space very pleasantly airy with lots of sun, and overall a nice place to work, snack or relax as the cabin and capsule rooms have no windows. I loved the creativity as you are essentially sharing a bunk bed with privacy that’s provided with a sliding screen door. It’s decent, with adequate room for luggage but few may struggle if the luggage is quite large as the aisle can be a bit narrow. This can be reflected from your neighbour next door at times~! I found overall it was very comfortable and I was assigned the top bunk during my long stay. The bed is clean, with complimentary cleaning on the 7th day (10am-3pm), and there’s a decent sized desk. The privacy of the cabin room is definitely the main highlight about ReTime if one wishes for privacy but reduced budget than a standard hotel room. A slight issue with this kind of arrangement is shutting the screen doors may end up being noisy (the screen door naturally reduces soundproofing). However having stayed for quite some time, I found the bed and room overall very comfortable and decently spaced. If I stayed longer, this would not be an issue as the bed was quite spacious personally. The shower option as opposed to the public onsen baths is much appreciated as 1) some women are not comfortable with the public baths, and 2) when that time of the month happens...this would reassure future guests planning to come to ReTime. The additional complimentary ammeties such as toner, cleanser and lotion were surpising and great to use also. Some crticisms regarding the stay: upon entering, I was told check in was at 4pm, which is quite later than average . I found a coin locker nearby but would have liked to be informed I could have stayed in the common area until check in if desired. It was a bit dissapointing as I could have saved a few hundred yen and energy after a flight. The washing machine instruction was unclear as the yellow button had to be pressed before scanning the touch bracelet, the step which is not in the images, and the staff member assisting was a bit rude (it likely shows the issue with this particular step had occurred many times). Perhaps putting some numbered stickers may help with step by step - especially turning that yellow button to green. Overall it’s a positive experience to recharge and stay long term, however I personally found that the service can be improved. Please note this is my own personal experience and I'm not affiliated or sponsored by ReTime. All photographs are taken by myself during the stay.

Nice place to stay and experience the local way to live. Breakfast and needed amenities are provided. Chance to meet new nice people from different culture and age if you are a solo traveler in sharing room. The lady cat is cute but she prefers boys 🤣. The location is walkable to the monorail station if you don't have many luggage (not that near, but if you enjoy the weather, it's not that far😆). It's near some of attraction like 波上宫though

They will pick you up to the port. It was a very fashionable room. Coffee beans and mills are prepared in the room, and there is a service where you can taste freshly fried coffee yourself. The towels and slippers were fluffy and comfortable. The dishes were also creative course dishes, and I was satisfied not only with the taste but also the appearance.

Very nice place for backpackers. I was able to meet many new people. They have some kind of a deal with a local diving company, so when at the hostel you can book diving or snorkeling and get some percent off the price👍🏼

The single room is livable. The reviews say the dormitory room is terrible, but I must say that I killed a visible bug after squeezing it for two days. If you have the budget, I suggest you increase the price a bit, remove all the carpets, update the mattress to a bigger size, and clean it thoroughly.

The hotel is wonderful. It’s just a what you need when staying in Miyakojima. It’s not super fancy or anything, but has everything you could need for a stay there. The only issue is that they don’t come to clean your room or change sheets or anything. We were there 6 nights. It would have been nice for someone to come and sweep the floor or wipe down the surfaces once or twice.

The is a capsule hotel. You cannot expect to have the service of a 5-star hotel. The value for money is undoubtedly high. Location is outstanding. A lot of convenience shops and restaurants are in the vicinity. Good for backpackers. A market is within 5 minutes walk for your understanding of Okinawa food culture. Staff are friendly and helpful.

We are very happy with the stay and would come back. The twin rooms are spacious, clean and have a balcony. Due to the proximity of the Main Street which our balcony was facing, we could hear the occasional loud car noise during the night. The hallways leading to the rooms had a moldy smell and some large mold spots, which is difficult to avoid given the high humidity. However, the rooms have not been affected at all.

Great place for single traveller to stay and explore the Beauties of Ishigaki ! The guest house not only offers clean and tidy place to stay, but also provides many information about visiting islands . Come and feel it.
