Our stay at Estinate Hotel Naha was such a pleasant surprise! The location was incredibly convenient — just a quick and easy bus ride from the airport, and only a few minutes’ walk from the bus stop. It was very easy to find, which made arriving stress-free after a long flight.
The hotel itself has such a cool and modern concept. The front desk is located at the bar, giving it a relaxed and social atmosphere — definitely not your typical hotel setup! We coincidentally arrived around 5 PM and were warmly welcomed with their free all-you-can-drink Orion Beer hour (5–6 PM daily). It was such a thoughtful and fun touch to start our trip with a taste of Okinawa.
The staff were friendly, spoke excellent English, and took the time to explain all the amenities clearly. Our room was surprisingly spacious — much larger than most Japanese hotels. Even if you find your room on the smaller side, the hotel offers a common amenity room equipped with a microwave, stove, and other conveniences. There’s also a co-working office space if you need to get some work done, and a laundry room for longer stays.
The location was perfect — within walking distance to many of the places we wanted to visit in Naha.
Overall, we loved everything about our stay. It’s modern, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed for both travelers and remote workers. I’d highly recommend staying here and would definitely book again the next time I visit Okinawa!
