THE NEST NAHA
I stayed here for 5 nights and really enjoyed my stay. I had high expectations after seeing the photos and it didn't disappoint. It's about a 10 min walk to Asahibashi Station (there are stairs fyi). It was super easy to get to/from the airport. This is a newer property so it was very clean and staff ...

For the price this is an incredible hotel, brand new with a great room, staff and location. Not a great lobby! But that’s ok
