Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The early check out time

Plussat: The position. The staff is gentle

Miinukset: There is no laundry. The bed is near the wall. The japanese restaurant very expensive.

Plussat: Location is just a few minutes away from the Okayama-Shi train station.

Miinukset: Mineral water was not provided given the amount of money paid as there are a few hotels nearby with a cheaper price.

Plussat: V good hotel comfortable clean and great staff

Miinukset: Not much

Plussat: Hotel is very very close to Okayama station and Aeon Mall , so that not necessary to bring the umbrella while raining ; besides , found a staff can speak my home language and she helped me so so much

Plussat: Staff excellent always felt welcome

Miinukset: More towel racks in bathroom and had to ask for additional clothes hangers as we were staying for 11 nights

Plussat: Location and nearby shopping and dining places

Plussat: Location, staff, cleanliness, breakfast.

Miinukset: Bed against the wall, room small but typical for Japan hotel

Plussat: Great choice of breakfast. Very convenient location for transport , shopping & eating.

Plussat: Excellent staff. excellent location.

Miinukset: Space just a little too small (less than the 19m2 advertised, I think.)

Plussat: The location is next to train station. Good service, and new hotel, good price.

Miinukset: No problems.

Plussat: The staff were accomodating

Miinukset: We have 3 terrible nights in that hotel, we cant sleep soundly due to the heater every night , and make complaints about that, and the hotel lended us 2 dyson efan

Plussat: Excellent location right next to the station.

Miinukset: Room too small for anything other than an overnight stay.

Plussat: Great position tight by the railway station

Plussat: I liked that it was attached to the train station.

Miinukset: The thing I'm actually really upset about is that I booked the hotel because of price and convenience. Then when I was already in my room they said they would charge and extra 2,000 yen for having another person in my room. This is a proper hotel, not some charge by the hour/person. That's why I'm giving it a not so positive review.

Plussat: very good hotel for its price. very modern, wide range of services available, spacious room (for japan standards) and very well located (just next to the shinkansen and JR station and to the tram that takes you to the top attractions in okayama). breakfast is fantastic as well,l. very diverse and you can even try the local specialties.

Plussat: The hotel is very central to the train station - you can walk from the station underground, or check in around the corner from the BIC main entrance. I was using this hotel as a base for Naoshima and Matsue, so wasn't expecting anything luxurious. I was early, but the hotel held my bags for me. The staff were friendly. The room was fairly basic (I was on level 8) , but it is a business hotel so I wasn't expecting a lot. On check in you elected tea/coffee and were given a sachet for etc day of your stay (no milk though). The bathroom was clean, although there is a step into the bathroom, so if you have mobility issues, this would be a factor. The hotel was very quiet. There was a central area with microwave, washing machine, vending machines.

Miinukset: The room was dated with no usb or international charging facilities. Being restricted to selecting tea or coffee at the beginning of your stay made it difficult. The room had stains on the walls from luggage.

Plussat: Great location,right across the station and also reachable through the underpass Got the big room with separate wardrobe/bath and sleep area Many shops around

Miinukset: The elevator took a while to arrive The bathroom is higher than room so you have to be careful when you step out Non negotiable check out time (even if you have the member card) The tea can be improved Having to go to the front desk for (instant) coffee is not that convenient The corridor is so hot...

Plussat: The location very closed to the station is very convenient. The hotel is well located to visit the Korakuen garden and Okayama Castle.

Miinukset: The check-in time took at least 30 minutes. The staff didn’t speak English and our reservation was not honored. We booked one bedroom for 3 (2 adults and a 11 years old child) ; we had to upgrade our reservation to have a bedroom with an extra-bed (required in our original reservation) and paid 18.000 yens instead of 11.500 yens.

Plussat: Location is very close to JR Station. Room is spacious and comfortable. A good choice to stay here to shop and eat.

Plussat: Staff are very nice and good location.

Miinukset: The towel is quite dirty. I stay two nights, at less 3 new towels found hairs and other towel are dusty.

Plussat: The location was great. It's 5 minutes away from the JR Okayama station and bus station, which makes it convenient to explore areas nearby Okayama. The good thing of Okayama is most of the main attractions and shopping centres/ streets are in close proximity, so you can basically reach them by walking. The breakfast was great. We stayed for 4 nights and they did provide some variations to the choice of food.

Miinukset: Bathroom ventilation could have been better.

Plussat: Central and very comfortable. A much more modern and spacious feel than most business hotels. I was impressed.

Plussat: - Public bath - near time the train station

Miinukset: - cockroach found in our room

Plussat: Location is great! Near the Okayama station and AEON mall.

Miinukset: The room is quite small, almost can not open two suitcases at the same time.

Plussat: Everything is good for me and the room was so big. For breakfast have many thing that you can enjoy your meal

Plussat: Good for a budget hotel (under $100/night) Fairly kid-proof Allowed bed-sharing with kids, so we had a twin room for a family of four (kids aged 1.5 and 4) Coin-operated laundry facilities available was a bonus Public bath on floor 10 was nice to have Breakfast buffet was good (cost extra) Great location less than 5 min from train station. Walk 5-10 min to get to loads of shopping, restaurants (giant Aeon mall opening next door in Dec 2014), 20 min stroll down busy/fun street to Okayama Castle and Gardens.

Miinukset: We travelled in November and it was hot, (22 C, around 70 F) but the A/C didn't work. I think they turn it off at a certain point in the year, so setting it at a low temp only blows air around the room. We had to crack the window but it only opens about 3-4 inches for safety reasons. The staff brought us a fan but then housekeeping took it away the next morning and we had to ask for it again. Minor issue but our Japanese was terrible so communication was slightly difficult.

Plussat: room was comfortable

Plussat: Location to Okayama station is excellent - literally across the road and a minute later in the lobby. The public bath and bathrooms were excellently equipped.

Miinukset: Tgere was no conditioner in the showers. Average cleanliness in my capsule - I lifted my mattress and saw some horrendous things (used ear bugs, tissues etc) which given adequite cleaning and changing and regular changing of matress could have been noticed and cleaned. Locker is quite narrow which limits storage space.

Miinukset: Very clean. But a lot of noise during the night of people snoring.

Miinukset: single shower room

Plussat: everything is good

Plussat: Onsen (hot springs) which puts a lot of value to the hostel. It is free of charge once you book a capsule room. The second most impressive thing was a chef at the restaurant. The restaurant had no vegetarian menu, but the chef cooked vegetarian yakisoba for me. That was kind, as well as very professional of him to accommodate to my needs. The bed was comfy too, the location is also central, but...

Miinukset: ...The hotel is located in the same building as a pachinko (Japanese gambling) place, so I found the surroundings very depressive. The hotel is completely male-only, a very bizarre practice. The biggest drawback though is their policy regarding the food and drinks. You are not allowed to eat anything, not even a banana while inside, and the prohibition is observed (unless you buy that in their restaurants). That technically includes drinks, but the hotel canteen fails to provide any hot drinks such as tea. Even a vending machine had no hot drinks which are typical for the so-called winter season. It is my first time I have encountered such an awkward system in a lodging place. This reason alone is enough for me not to consider staying at this place again. The hot bath is also discriminatory towards tattooed people. I am aware it is an easy way to avoid strange locals but it is still hardly justifiable when it comes to foreigners (PS: I am not tattooed).

Plussat: Sijainti. Ja runsas tavaraa saunamisen jalkeisen peilin edessa. Eniten tykkäsin silmälasien ultraäänen puhdistus laite.

Miinukset: Ei ollut erityisesti

Plussat: Location is good

Miinukset: The cabin is quite old

Plussat: There was a bar on the ground floor, which offered drinks and food. Even though the rooms were located on the floor above the bar, I could not hear any noise through the floor.

Plussat: The staff can speak English really well and they are sugoi bijin desu.

Miinukset: Kinda pricey compared to other hostels I've been to in Japan, without any particular outstanding justification. It could be that Okayama hostels are generally pricey.

Plussat: The 3 options for the toast breakfast is good. Finally I get to try the coffee that I read about in the reviews. Location wise is good, at a relatively quite neighbourhood. And it's only a couple of minutes away from the station.

Miinukset: One of the showers was under repair. and ended up gotta make do with 2 showers and 3 toilets. Luckily not everyone used the toilets and showers around the same time.

Plussat: The bed is more comfy than the usual backpacker's hostel. The annex is at a side lane, near to the original hostel. Comparatively quieter location.

Miinukset: One of the showers was under repair, ended up we have only one shower to use. Although luckily not everyone used it at the same timing.

Miinukset: Sounds trivial, but it would have been nice to know how to access the hot water for the showers! (Make sure the water heater is on!)

Plussat: Very nice, hip, laid back, beach camping inspired hostel. I was traveling off season and had a whole dorm room to myself. It was great except that room was absolutely freezing. I can sleep in the cold but others might have minded more. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I was able to store my bag for the first day before checking in. They give a welcome drink in the bar/restaurant downstairs. I had a curry for dinner one night and it was quite good! It’s about a 10 minute walk from the train station. Would definitely recommend!

Miinukset: Room was quite cold. I put the heater on but I suspect the massive windows and size of the room made it hard to heat in the middle of winter.

Plussat: Staff was very friendly and the main common area was cool.

Miinukset: I stayed in the annex so I’m not sure about the other rooms but there was no space for bags and no shelves or cubbies in the beds. This was also the first hostel I’ve stayed in that didn’t have any info on local recommendations. The second night there was a party and people were running around past 2am. If it was cheap this would have been okay but it was one of the more expensive hostels I’ve stayed in.

Plussat: Clean, great bed, lovely staff, onsen!

Miinukset: The onsen could have a cold pool, breakfast ends kinda early (9am), breakfast didn’t have cereals

Plussat: Sijainti hyvä ja huoneesta esteetön näkymä kaupungille

Miinukset: Valitettavasti varatessani en saanut valittua non-smoking huonetta, vaikka itse poltankin niin aiemmin smoking-huoneissakin yöpyneenä ei tupakanhaju ole ollut ihan noin voimakas, huone oli remontoimattomalla vanhalla puolella ja sängystä tuntui jouset läpi..

Plussat: Room is bigger than other APA. SPA is fantastic!

Miinukset: The floor was full of smoking smell.

Plussat: the room was perfect

Miinukset: the breakfast taste good

Plussat: The hotel is located along the Main Street, within 10-min walk to the JR station. Breakfast was simple but quality was good.

Miinukset: The air conditioner is not strong enough.

Plussat: Simple is best.

Plussat: good location (on the momotaro ave. close to otayama station and big camera) and nice staffs

Plussat: The staff was EXTREMELY accommodating and allowed me to change my reservation last minute because of a typhoon. The breakfast was also very good.

Miinukset: The wifi was not working very well.

Plussat: The location is very convenient to the train station and the Aeon Mall.

Miinukset: Once you get past the immaculate lobby, the property is worn and not very clean. The tea tray was dusty. There was a stain running down the wall.

Miinukset: Bathroom looks not clean. Old hotel inside, fashion look outside.

Plussat: The position is pretty well,close to the station about 5mins.

Miinukset: Although we booked a nonsmoking room, the air was thick with cigarette smoke.

Plussat: Nothing.

Miinukset: The hotel was dirty, the rooms are dated and the air con wasn't from this century and we needed to make a choice between sleeping hot or not sleeping thanks to the noise. We checked out a day earlier than planned and booked another place, because we could not stay there any longer.

Miinukset: Old furniture with dusts and room with super dim yellow light which felt spooky. The hotel require refurbishment with the price charged.

Plussat: Helpful staff cannot speak English but eventually you can get your message across. Close to Okayama station, 6 mins walk. Coin operated laundry. Close to Renaiss Hall where a favorite jazz band was playing.

Miinukset: Maybe if staff can speak English and laundry machines have instructions in English.
