Guest Room Review: Single Room at Hotel JAL City Naha

I stayed in the “Single Room,” the most affordable option, offering a compact space of 18 m².

The 160 cm wide Simmons bed provided a comfortable sleep.

A flat-screen TV was mounted opposite the bed. Since it wasn’t a smart TV, I recommend bringing an HDMI cable if you wish to watch YouTube or Netflix.

Here’s the view of the room from the window side.

Next to the bed was a desk integrated with a cabinet.

On the desk were a hairdryer, telephone, notepad, magnifying mirror, and both standard power outlets and USB ports.

The hairdryer was made by Panasonic, with average wind power.

Here’s the inside of the top drawer.

The upper section of the cabinet featured a pull-out safety box.

The lower section housed a refrigerator. An ice machine was located in the shared hallway, and an ice bucket was provided in the room.

Opening the cabinet door revealed tea bags and cups. Unfortunately, there was no instant coffee, which was a minor disappointment as I like to have coffee first thing in the morning.

The lower section also contained a TIGER electric kettle.

In front of the bed, there was a simple chair. Since the room lacked a luggage rack, I placed my suitcase on the chair.

The swimwear provided was a two-piece set made of comfortable material.

Next to the entrance, there was an open-style closet. The upper section contained extra pillows and hangers.

The lower section of the closet housed slippers, deodorant spray, and shoe care items.

It was unusual to find an umbrella provided in the room.

Here’s the information leaflet received at check-in. It contained detailed explanations about the hotel.

The back of the leaflet listed items available for rental at the hotel.

The red wallpaper behind the bed was a distinctive feature.

The flooring was vinyl, similar to what you’d find poolside.

The view from the window showed hotels and commercial facilities as the room faced east.

Here’s the floor plan of the 6th floor where I stayed. The smaller rooms on the right side of the elevator were likely single rooms, while the larger ones on the left seemed to be double or twin rooms.
