Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences balanced with a few drawbacks. The rooms had a slight smoke smell but were equipped with everything I needed, including a good mattress and a peaceful atmosphere. The staff was exceptionally nice, and the location near Okayama Castle was a big plus, offering beautiful views. However, the breakfast, though with a few Western options, was a bit underwhelming.
The hotel is a typical business hotel in Japan, with rooms that could use a revamp and being slightly small. On the bright side, they come equipped with a massage chair. The service was extremely helpful and friendly, offering convenience like coin-operated laundry services. The location is excellent for visiting Korakuen garden and Okayama Castle, although not ideal for dining and shopping options. The dining experience provided tasty food with various options including Japanese and Western dishes. Overall, the facilities are decent but may need improvement.
