Okinawa Hotels with Balkoner

"Pros: staff is so friendly and kind, it’s a great location on Kokusai-dori (near both monorail and a bus stop), and it really is kept quite clean Cons: loud and cold. I would have left, but I knew they wouldn’t give me a refund ZERO soundproofing! There’s all these rules telling us “no calls, keep quiet” but you can hear everyone slamming doors in the hallway and using the hair drier and washing machines at night. There was also so much noise from the street, whether it was parties at night or children screaming during the day. I was up until 3 at night because of people both inside and outside. The walls are also so thin, I could actually hear snoring from the room next to me. Why are there all these rules about sound, yet it’s still so loud?! They tell us, “please keep calls to the common area” but the common area’s window is also right on the street, so I had to take a work call with sirens screaming through the area. The room was also freezing. It was 17-20 degrees outside most days, and even in the hallway the temperature was fine. But in my room, it felt like it was 12. I had to pay to rent extra pajamas from them because it was so cold at night. And there was constantly a breeze coming from somewhere in my room! But because there’s no individually controlled AC, there was nothing I could do. I could feel myself getting sick here"

"We had a fantastic stay at Condomio Makishi. Would like to give special thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 to Ms. Kudo. My mum had pneumonia during our stay there. Ms. Kudo sent us to the hospital and did translation for us. The next day was her off day and my mum was to be discharged. She went to the hospital to help with the discharge. She is really god sent. If not for her we would be at a lost. She even bought omiyage for my mum! I would definitely stay here the next time. Location is in Kokusai-dori. Very convenient for shopping, 5mins walk to Makishi Station. If I could give 10 stars I would!"

"Room was very clean and neat. About a 10 minute walk to Tomari Port, and about 15 minute walk from one end of Kokusai-Dori shopping street. There's a lot of izakayas and eateries to try around the area as well! There were 2 car parking lots on the ground floor, and it cost 1000 yen per night to park. There are also other paid parking lots around the building, and they can provide some info on that at reception. Laundry detergent was 50 yen for a small packet (1 wash), and softener was about 100 yen. Washing machine and dryer in the room worked very well. One thing I would say is that I did message them on Trip.com regarding parking more than a week before my stay and didn't get a response until the day before my stay, where they only asked me what time I'd be checking in. Not sure if this was a Trip.com issue. But overall, great place to stay, would recommend, especially if you are catching an early ferry from Tomari Port to one of the islands for the day :)"
