Basic hotel, good location not far from Train Stn.
Basic hotel, small room as expected for economy room. Only issue was a constant draught from one of the 3 windows, seals had perished, meaning cold air was streaming into room. Only way to partly combat this was to place towels at bottom of window. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very basic Japanese offering.

Quiet & pleasant stay
We requested an upgrade from standard double to twin singles. We ended up getting 2 double beds but have to pay a hefty 2850 Yen without any discount. It wasn’t the hotel’s fault but my friend was unhappy with the extra cost. Nevertheless it was the quietest hotel room we have slept so far and the air-conditioning worked perfectly and silently so we ended up with a good sleep. The breakfast however was ordinary and items that ran out wasn’t refilled quick enough

Location
Location is great. Walking distance to Himeji station, shopping area, bus station, so much place to eat. Also close to night life area. There is good variety of breakfast. Also they serve dinner(curry and udon). We stayed with my husband, 2 years old and 10 month old. It’s small room but they put 2 twin bed together to make it big as king size bed. There convieient store around corner. restaurants and bars are close by. Everything you need is in walking distance.

Lovely modern hotel
Close to stn (about10min walk), close to nearby restaurants (up side streets & main road), close to Himeji attractions (Castle, gardens, food stalls & shopping strip). Overall, very pleased with this accommodation.

Budget hotel, smallish room, but clean &convenient
This hotel is very basic. The room was very small. The walls were thing and we could hear some of the other noise from rooms where there were kids. That said, it was a budget hotel. Nothing remarkable, but in a good and clean condition. We stayed here to get easy access to the castle the next morning.

Well located and comfortable
The hotel is really well located for both the station and the castle. Breakfast was good and the room was a touch small but very well equipped and comfortable. Staff were very helpful and we were able to store things to save us carrying them around the castle after we had checked out.
