"The staff can not speak even a little bit of English even though it's a big and normally expensive hotel. I forgot my charger in my room and checked out but I came back in the late afternoon for my luggage but no one informed me. In the evening I contacted them through Agoda to ask about that but no one cared to reply. "

"Located just right next to JR Himeji Station and within less than 5 minutes walk, this hotel exceeded all our expectation. We had a Japanese style room just to experience the difference. The room is spacious for 4 of us. Inside the room, everything is very clean and neat. Comes with high tech toilet. The hotel even provide a free smartphone for us to make free local and international phone calls. You can bring the smartphone out and use free data for Google Maps navigation and social networking. The staff are friendly and helpful. The lady who helped us check-in even brought us to the room and showed us all the facilities. The hotel provides coin operated laundry machine. For 300 yen you can have clean clothes in no time. A Lawson convenient store is right under the hotel. Also there are supermarket and department store and a shopping mall next to the hotel. Walk to Himeji Castle only takes 15 min. We really enjoy staying in this hotel and recommend to anyone visiting Himeji."

"The room is really tiny. Once laying down two carry-on baggage, there is almost no room to walk. Bathroom counter is big enough to hold items. Although the breakfast at the hotel may not have as many entries as hotels in other major cities, the taste is really the best in my entire trip in kansai (Himeji, Kyoto, and Osaka). I even regret that I did not have my dinner there on the check-in day. The staff, like other hotels, are very courteous and helpful. The location is unbeatable. It is probably the closest one to the Himeji-jo (castle). The shopping strip is within walking distance (2-5 minutes). If I return to Himeji in the future, I will definitely come back to this Hotel, primarily for the breakfast."

"The hotel was really, really cheap when I booked it (perhaps because Himeji castle is undergoing reservations). The hotel is pretty close to the station, and within walking distance of Himeji castle. I had a pretty bad night, though, since the soundproofing is terrible and there are people talking loudly in the hallway at 2am. There are also PA announcments starting at about 7am. All of which will be fully audible in your room."

"We stayed at Himeji and visited different places in the region. The hotel is not too far from the station, with a convenient 10-15 min walk. It's off the main touristic areas, so it's fairly quiet at night. Rooms were clean, staff members were helpful and spoke good English. The structure is not outstanding, and has little to remember about, but overall, for the price, we deemed it a very fair treatment. We would recommend it to people caring for the budget and not looking for something special."

Hotel itself is good, clean, spacious and even with UCC capsule coffee machine in the room which is a A+ for a coffee lover like me."
