People are nice at the reception desk. The hotel is beautiful, and you don’t need to unpack your suitcase since pajamas and all sorts of amenities are in your room to use. Space is great too.

This hotel is a bit pricey but saved my butt after another hotel I had reserved turned out to be non family-friendly. They took a last minute reservation at 10pm at night. The staff was super helpful and spoke good English so no need for Google translate. Beds were comfortable and fine for four adults. Recommended if you need a quick comfortable one night stay after visiting the castle.

The location was spot on but the hotel announced that they’re undergoing major renovations upon check in. The room was supposed to be non smoking and it had a sign but the room smelled like it was previously a smoking room. I wanted to swim which is why we chose this hotel and found there was a gym fee. Staff was very accommodating and supportive during our stay but just check the small print.

Hotel is located by the teain station. Its very convenient if youre bouncing around one ciry to the next. Great place to stay the night because its a quiet hotel. I slept very well at night.
My hotel room was clean and spacious. The hotel is a little dated, but it adds to the charm. While most modern 4 star hotels shift towards cardless, it is nice to have a set of keys in hour pocket that reminds you which room you're staying in. I made multiple mistakes using my cardkey to enter a room I was not assigned.
Overall, my experience was great. I had a good nights rest and off to my next city. Arigatou!

The room we booked was small and I started sneezing and had running nose the minute I entered the room. So we requested for an upgrade. We were given the Nikko Deluxe Twin Room on the top floor with an extra $30+ per night. We stayed for five nights and were very happy with our stay. The room was much bigger, and the most important thing is I had no sinus when I stepped into the room. Besides, there was a bonus having the view of Himeji Castle.
Breakfast was nice with the choice of western food and Japanese. But my concern was I enjoyed eating Japanese style breakfast, but there weren’t much changes in their dishes. After the third day, I started to feel tired of it. Wish there were more changes in their dishes especially the condiments.
One of the elevators was under maintenance when we stayed there. Hence, it left us only one elevator to use. Fortunately we were on the top floor, so we had no problem going down in the morning. For some guests who were on the middle floors, they were not able to get in to the elevator when it was already full. Wish there were three elevators, so at least there were two running while the third one is under maintenance.
Despite, the elevator maintenance, we would choose the hotel again if we were to go to Himeji again.
