"Front desk stuff doesn't speak fluent English but they are very friendly and able to use translation apps to assist cusmoters. The hotel is located near a very busy street full of restaurants and bars but it's quiet inside."
"Small cigarette at lobby
And The rooms are old, but meals are included, so it's probably a good value for money considering the convenience. However, the smell of cigarettes seems to have permeated the building, so I don't think I'd want to stay there again."
"The location is great. The JR train station is just across the street, and lots of shops are in the station. The hotel's free, hot breakfast is wonderful and nutritious. My minor complaints are: The room decor is outdated and the bathroom sink drains a bit slow. But everything is well kept and clean. I love this hotel and keep coming back when I need to stay in Okayama."
"Very budget friendly hotel with a nice deep bathtub. It isnt the most modern hotel but it was clean, comfortable and cheap. The staff were friendly, and although we were unable to utilize the free breakfast or dinner it was included (half board). I did think it would be a bit closer to the station but that was on me for not researching well enough."
