South Breeze Hotel Kochi Kaigetsu
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.22 out of 5 (2,838 reviews). Guests report that children found sleeping on futon laid out in the tatami rooms novel and fun, and that three-generation trips were comfortable here. Families also praise the breakfast for letting them try Kochi regional dishes. On the other hand, some guests report that children's amenities are not stocked in the rooms and that they asked at the front desk to receive them, so it is reassuring to let the hotel know in advance.

Overview
South Breeze Hotel Kochi Kaigetsu is a 1-minute walk from Culture Plaza Karupoto in central Kochi. Its 63 rooms are split between a new wing and an old wing, and the 10-tatami, 40 sq m Japanese-style tatami rooms take 1 to 5 guests. Accommodation plans include child rates, which makes the hotel worth considering for a family stay. Breakfast is a buffet built around Kochi ingredients, and guests can also use the panoramic communal bath.
Rooms
Guest rooms are divided between the new wing and the old wing. The new wing has single rooms of 13.5 sq m, twin rooms of 20.3 sq m, and Japanese-style tatami rooms of 10 tatami mats and 40 sq m, while the old wing has single rooms of 10.5 sq m and twin rooms of 15.5 sq m. There are 63 rooms in total. Every room comes with an en-suite bathroom, Wi-Fi, a television, shampoo and conditioner, body soap, towels, yukata, a hair dryer, a toothbrush set, tea bags and an electric kettle. A humidifier and a trouser press are also available to borrow.
Dining
Breakfast is served buffet-style from 6:30 to 9 a.m., with a menu built around Kochi ingredients. Popular choices include the shirasu-don, a rice bowl topped with fresh shirasu (whitebait) and carefully selected eggs from Yamasaki Farm, along with omelets cooked to order. The house specialty, utsubo no Tosa chazuke (moray eel served over rice with tea broth), won the Local Cuisine Award at Rakuten Travel's Breakfast Festival 2019. Dinner is not served, so guests choose between a room-only plan and a plan with breakfast.
