A couple on Christmas vacation
We stayed at this hotel for one night between Christmas and New Year's. The room was a little cold, because the window was open slightly at first. We shut the window, but it was still letting in some cold air. The parking area is a garage across the street from the hotel. It isn't free, but it's close to the castle entrance and it was convenient to leave the car there as we explored the area. The breakfast was ok, but not the best you'll eat. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful and guided us on where to see the castle at night, and we were able to get some great pictures of the castle at night thanks to his advice.

nice sleepy relaxed town.
Stop over on travelling around the coast line. A good 10 minute walk from station. Great food in the area. A few minutes walk from the hotel on the corner is a fresh fish restaurant that was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the Ishikawa udon shop for lunch. A boat trip to the island Honjima is a must from this port. In front of the station is a great art gallery you must visit too!

APA Marugame recommended. Service staff great!
We got a great price for this hotel for Sunday and Monday night. Great place to stay. Lots of comforts. The twin bed was a bit narrow for my wife and I. I would suggest 2 twin beds or larger queen if available. They offered 2 twin beds but it cost extra and we didn't select that option. Overall great hotel and would recommend. Centrally located to all Marugame which is a sweet town.

Hotel.was normal. Nothing special to mention. 7 minutes walk to JR Marugame, hence considered rather convenient. However, there was nothing much that we can do due to poor surrounding amenities. Seemed like a dead town to me. Only if a short overnight stay or else a no no to me

We are sorry to report that we had two significant problems with our hotel room, which we brought to the front reception’s attention on our second day. First, th air conditioner did not work. Our room was hot and stuffy, despite our setting the temperature at 23 degrees centigrade, it did not go below 25, which is very uncomfortable for sleeping. We often had to open the window just to circulate air. Secondly, the WiFi did not work. Our iPad would get dropped after 2 minutes of use, while the iPhone would hold it a little longer before dropping the connection. I think the room needs a separate air conditioner and WiFi signal. We were receiving air through a ceiling vent and I am sure th WiFi signal was getting too much traffic from all the hotel guests. Maybe we should have requested another room and not put up with the inconveniences, but I am not certain we would have found any improvement.

Cheap and perfectly fine
Much better than expected from reviews. It's basically like any other APA hotel, clean and adequate but small rooms. Fairly old, though. Would be nice if it were closer to the station, but it's only around five minutes walk away and the area has restaurants and a supermarket. Also, rooms were cheap, especially for a name-brand hotel chain. Nothing special, but if you're in the area and the rates are low it's fine.

the room was very clean and the amenities were quite comprehensive. the room rate couldn't be any more affordable in japan. i didn't have a chance to use the public spa on the 9/f since i arrived some minutes past midnight. maybe it should be open 24/7.

Not up to my standard
It was the only hotel with available space near Takamatsu during Obon season, so I had to settle. The staff was very nice and spoke some English which helped a lot. However, I felt the rooms were a bit grimey and no matter how much I ran the AC, I couldn't get the smell of cigarette smoke out.

A hidden gem
I picked this hotel while I was looking on hotels.com for a hotel in Okayama - very expensive city at that time - and the site came with this alternative: Marugame! I checked the map and , after reading about the small city on the Shikoku Island, I have decided to go for it. The room rate was very good, the location also: 6-7 minutes walking distance from the train station and 4 minutes to the castle ( worth a visit). The hotel is chic, has Chopin music as background sound, the room is very clean, has all the standard amenities for a three stars hotel in Japan and the TV screen is huge; plus the possibility to go to the spa/bath, if you enjoy this oportunity. The staff: extremely polite, careful and nice. I highly recommend it!
