7.8/10 Good! (664 reviews)
Should be one of the cheapest hotels in Himeji area. Meals are provided but I felt like they're worse than in jail (I've never been to jail, though). If you're looking for budgetary hotel, this is the right place.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,003 reviews)
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 ...

10/10 Exceptional! (1 review)
最高に素敵でした!
宿の玄関を開けると冷房を入れてくれていたので、すごく涼しく快適でした。 10人で泊まりましたが、とても広くてゆっくり過ごすことが出来ました。 子どもも大人も大はしゃぎでルームツアーを楽しみました。 2階の寝室は4部屋に分かれ、プライベート空間を保つことができました。 立地が良く姫路城がすぐ近くで見られるので、夜のライトアップは幻想的で色が変わるところも見られました。 近くに広場もあるので、朝は散歩をしました。 オーナーさんは、すぐに連絡をくださり対応も早かったです。 家族で素敵な思い出ができました。 ありがとうございました!

This is a completely new facility in an old warehouse district of Sakate on Shodoshima. Right on the water, the views from the hotel are stunning. The staff is courteous, helpful, and professional. The rooms are spacious, with sitting areas and balconies, but also a bit quirky in design. We had one ...
