I would stay here again!

Room was clean and beds were comfortable. Shower space was odd and water couldn’t be contained in the shower so floor was fairly wet. We were able to watch a movie in English which was a welcoming respite after being on the road for 12 days. Also the location was perfect to walk to the Himeji Castle and garden area and many reason Otemae-dori street.

Comfortable and well equipped for a short stay. Rooms are a little smaller than some similar hotel chains, but perfectly OK and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. UK TV news and English language films were a plus.

Nice and clean room. Lots of free streaming on the tv. Small bathroom. The temperature was awful, like 25C because you can't control the AC. The beds were very soft, which we do not prefer at least, but that is subjective.

A disappointing stay

We arrived at 1.30pm, which was earlier than the 3 pm checkin and asked if we could have an early check in if our room was ready. It was heavily raining outside. We were informed that we could check in early for a fee of 10000 yên. We have travelled to Japan many times and have never experienced this.This response was not welcoming and inhospitable, given the terrible weather that day. We felt that an exception could have been made.
