Solvita Hotel Naha

The hotel is great if you have business in the area but I wouldn’t recommend it for 2 females or family. During the day most businesses in the area are closed (we arrived at 9:30 am) and we couldn’t check into the room until 3 pm. I was wondering about that until I got a closer look at what the business was. We were pretty much in the red light district! These businesses were lounges and bars with pictures of girls. I don’t know how it works but I believe women can accompany men should they wish to have company? Very uncomfortable walking back to the hotel after dinner with guys staring at you. I wondered why this hotel was discounted when I booked and now I know why. The plus side is there’s a Family Mary right beside it and we got Japanese buffet breakfast. Staff are very polite and only the front desk can speak some English. There’s also a bicycle rental stand right by the front entrance which is convenient. Downside is the rooms are small, had an unusual smell (they do have an air cleaner), bathroom is tiny and not much space to put your luggage out. If I come back to Okinawa again I’m staying at the beach resorts (Naminoue beach is close by but I’m not fond of the highway overpass in my view). I thought it would be a good idea to stay in the city and walk to most places (yes it is convenient to walk around).

We were happy to get a room for 3 nights on a weekend when most rooms were booked up. The location is in a bit of a seedy area but it is near to restaurants and shops, we didn't have a problem. It was quiet at night, the staff were friendly, the room was clean and they even have free drinks from 3 to 6 pm. the only problem was the bed was really small so I would recommend a twin room not double.

I liked this hotel for the location and comfort. It is located in a street with many nightclubs but close enough to some excellent eating venues. The room had a massage chair which was great for after days out to relax in. Tea & coffee supplied but you can grab milk at the family mart next door or Lawsons 10mtres away. Shampoo/conditioner/soap and basics are supplied and their is a rail in the shower for getting in and out. You can use the bath towels for free to take to the beach. There is happy hour between 3-6pm with free limited spirits ,coffe/tea and softdrinks in the breakfast room.Laundry's are on level 3 & 5 with drink machines and ice. Cab fare from the airport is roughly 1,200-1,500 yen (around $12-15 dollars) It's a 15min walk to main shopping centre and Monorail which also accesses the airport.
