This hotel is a great location next to Himiji train station - just walk out and 3” walk to hotel;
The rooms are small and dated thus the 4 star review;
Breakfast had enough options, dining room - had a very good dinner;
Public baths are tight with a lot of people using them;
Staff was very polite and helpful;

The checkin process was fantastic, and the baths are great. Our bed was massive! But we soon discovered it was because two full beds were pushed together making the bed disproportionately large for the room. The location was great for visits to the Himeji castle. Dont order the massage but do enjoy the hot baths and cold plunge on level 4.

The staff are extremely professional and helpful. The hotel is a 2 minute walk from the train station and about 15 minutes to Himeji Castle and Kokoen gardens. Shopping all around the train station as well. We were fortunate to get a room with a view of the castle which lights up at night.

Wonderful hotel and location
The hotel was super clean and a very good standard. The breakfast was excellent and of a very good standard. My wife had an omelette made for her just like in Kyoto (Kitchi Kitchi). Would recommend this hotel for it's location, food, service and cleanliness.

Clean room, typical Japanese room size (not too small but not spacious). Convenient location. Parking could be limited even though they said hotel guests have priority. They have additional offsite parking partnerships if parking is full.

Amazing place with excellent staff
We stayed for a night and the staff was very welcoming from when we first showed up. I would highly recommend the Kaiseki Dinner which needs to be reserved ahead.

Beautiful and very clean property with a great location, near both the Shinkansen but also the Sanyo-Himeji line. Near lots of shops and restaurants, Lawson’s attached to the building, and a shopping mall very close by. The hotel restaurant was amazing and the included breakfast was nice as well. Rooms are a very good size for 2 with lots of luggage. Will stay again!

Solo traveler
This seems to be a newer property and everything was tremendous here for a solo traveler, even the spa room with hot and cold baths and a sauna was great for taking away the exhaustion from a long two days exploring the Himeji area.
