Best Family-Friendly Stays in Takamatsu for Your Next Trip

I would choose fav TAKAMATSU for a family or small group who wants space and a kitchenette. Rooms are spacious and air-conditioned, with private bathrooms, free WiFi, a work desk, free toiletries, a kitchenette and a washing machine, and some have tatami floors. A terrace adds an outdoor spot. The hotel is a 15-minute walk from Kitahamaebisu Shrine, so I would plan on short rides to sights.

JR Hotel Clement Takamatsu is a one-minute stroll from JR Takamatsu Station and close to the ferry terminal, which I find ideal for families planning island trips from Takamatsu. Rooms have panoramic sea and city views, a nice bonus for children watching the boats. With seven dining options and a fresh bakery on site, picky eaters always have a choice. An 8.7 score from 2,468 reviews makes it the easy station base I would recommend.

Comfort Hotel Takamatsu is the one I would check first for a family on a practical budget of effort. It offers family rooms with air-conditioning, a private bathroom and free WiFi, plus free bicycle use for short trips around the city. The 24-hour front desk helps with late arrivals, and the daily buffet breakfast includes child-friendly options, which takes pressure off the morning. Kitahamaebisu Shrine is 2 km away.

I would choose Hotel Bokaiso for a couple who wants a view more than a city location. It sits atop Yashima mountain with panoramic views of the Seto Inland Sea and the lights of Takamatsu, from a cliff-edge position. It is a 25-minute drive from Takamatsu Station, so I would plan transport. Rooms are air-conditioned with electric blankets and free WiFi, which suits cooler evenings on the mountain.

I would choose Royal Park Hotel Takamatsu for a couple or business traveller who wants a good night's sleep and some flexibility. It is a five-minute drive from JR Takamatsu Train Station, so I would plan a short ride with luggage. Rooms are air-conditioned with Simmons beds, flat-screen satellite TVs and free wired internet. Massages, bicycle rentals, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage add practical comfort.

ROOASiS Tokiwacho 201 is a guesthouse unit that suits families who like to cook and spread out: the family room has a kitchenette, a balcony and a private bathroom with a bathtub, which is handy for bathing small children. Free parking and luggage storage make arrival by car easy, and Takamatsu Airport is 16 km away. A tea and coffee maker and a hairdryer cover the small comforts. The 8.3 score from 56 reviews points to a reliable, simple stay in Takamatsu.

ROOASiS Tokiwacho 501 suits families on a longer visit to Takamatsu: the family room has a kitchenette, a refrigerator and a washing machine, so breakfasts and laundry are easy, and the balcony looks over the city. A work desk helps if a parent needs to answer emails, and luggage storage covers the gap between check-out and a late ferry or flight. Bicycle parking suits families who explore by bike. The 8.2 score from 53 reviews points to a dependable, simple stay.

ALPHABED INN Takamatsuekimae is a family-friendly hotel in Takamatsu that I would suggest to families who like tatami floors, where small children can play and sleep close to the ground. Family rooms are air-conditioned with a private bathroom and free WiFi, and a hot tub adds a relaxing end to the day. Parking is free and security runs all day. Sunport Fountain and Kitahamaebisu Shrine are under a 12-minute walk.

I would choose Takamatsu Kokusai Hotel for a family arriving by car, since free private parking is included. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms and mountain views. The on-site restaurant serves Asian meals and has a child-friendly buffet, which makes dinner easy with children. A 24-hour front desk and daily housekeeping add practical comfort. It is a business-friendly hotel rather than a resort.

Hotel Second Stage is a three-star stay in Takamatsu that I would consider for a family travelling by car who want a soak at the end of the day: there is a hot spring bath, an open-air bath and a sauna, plus a garden. Family rooms are air-conditioned with a private bathroom, breakfast is Asian-style and parking is free. It is 14 km from Takamatsu Airport. The 7.2 score comes from only 5 reviews, so it is not yet a proven pick.
