Okayama hotellia

Plussat: Spacious room. Has facility in the room for hotspring and sauna. Free drinks available.

Miinukset: Need to walk stairs. Also, the bedroom has no window.

Plussat: Very comfortable and good amenities with free drinks and bath salt.

Plussat: Amazing, huge rooms. Very kind and helpful staff. Big selection of soap, shampoo, conditioner and bath salts. Bathroom was gigantic.

Plussat: Staff were very friendly and helpful. Served us cake and coffee at checkin.

Plussat: Staff incredibly friendly Big rooms Clean Free drinks area

Miinukset: A little out of the centre of the centre (25 minute bus journey)

Plussat: The host is absolutely amazing. We have only stayed there for a couple of nights, but became friends with Daichi.

Plussat: Dimension of the room. Simpathy of the employees.

Miinukset: No Wi-Fi. In the middle of nowhere. It's what in Europe we call a motel (love hotel). It's not a proper hotel in the real sense of the word. No transportation appart from taxi to the center of Okayama and for that expect to pay around 2200 Yen

Plussat: It was a surprise to note that we arrived to a love hotel but it was clean with a big room and shower

Miinukset: location is far from the city center which is OK if you drive or you take a taxi

Plussat: The hotel was great. the staff were very friendly and even though my stay was short, it was great. The room was a really great size and the bed was super comfy. The main reason for my stay was due to a visit to Naoshima. I could think of a better place to stay before waking up early to take the train from Okayama to Uno. The hotel itself is right next to Okayama which is perfect. There is even a sign in the station itself! Check in and check out was easy. I would recommend the hotel to anyone wanting a great place to stop over in Okayama.

Miinukset: Nothing, all was great and comfortable.

Plussat: The location is great. The bedroom is spacious. The room smelt cigarette, then requested to change other room. The staff was nice and made the change straight away. Good yo have the public bath on the top floor.

Miinukset: The amenities are minimal. No coffee and black tea in the room. They don’t have hair straighteners to hire.

Plussat: Great location; comfortable rooms; good sized rooms

Miinukset: No complimentary water in the room

Plussat: Very clean.

Miinukset: Everything closed at 10pm!

Plussat: location is about 10min fm train station, room is clean and neat. staff is friendly.

Miinukset: only problem is that we need to carry the large suitcase down to a pedestrian bridge where no escalator nor elevator is available and it's such a burden, although there's one narrow escalator up the bridge after a few staircase when going up.

Plussat: Just next to the station. The hotel room is real big and clean and tidy. Will definitely try again.

Plussat: This hotel was comfortable and clean. The staff was helpful and very polite. The best part about the hotel was the location. Easy to take day trips, and the area around the hotel had plenty of access to shopping and dining.

Plussat: Just the hospitality and how quiet it was

Miinukset: Nothing

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.

Miinukset: Heating in hotel set a too high a level

Plussat: Hotel is located quite close to Okayama Castle and Korakuen. Even had a great view of the castle from the room i was staying in.

Plussat: Lovely Japanese buffet breakfast. Good value. Friendly, professional staff.

Plussat: This is a typical Japanese business hotel. It has little frills and all the basics of travelling needs -- washing machine and dryer at 200yen and 100yen respectively, clothes iron you could borrow from the front desk, ice making machine, microwave (shared) and vending machines for drinks and beer . My room at the top floor (10th) had a good view of Okayama castle and Korakuen garden. Breakfast was buffet with a choice of Japanese or Western dishes, all good and plentiful. The location is ideal for visiting the Okayama cultural area.

Miinukset: As with most all business hotels in Japan, the rooms are tiny. The staff have limited English language capabilities.

Plussat: Staff were very cooperative but language was sometimes a barrier. Very close to castle and garden. Good value for the money

Miinukset: WiFi/Internet required some fiddling and language difficulties with staff made that more awkward. Staff were not really focused on travelers needs.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Didnt clean room as well and left used glasses uncleaned

Plussat: Comfortable bed, the best so far in Japan. Top floor room with superb view over castle and gardens.

Miinukset: Restaurant was full.

Plussat: The hotel is very well located - central, just at 5 minutes walk of Korakuen Garden entrance and at 2 tramway station of the railway station. The staff is very good and efficient and our twin room was very large (31 sqm) and clean. We loved our room! We asked the hotel staff to help us to send our luggage to our next hotel and they were very kind with us. Internet was fast.

Miinukset: We booked our room some six-seven months ago and haven't checked the price since then. We noticed that our friends (booking later than us) paid a much smaller amount, checked the current prices and found that a room similar with ours was only 60% of the price we paid! We tried the Chinese restaurant ALO ALO situated at the ground floor of the hotel for dinner; it was supposed to serve dishes "Italian style" but what we get as "Italian" was as Chinese as all the other Chinese food.

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff who dealt with any probslems immediately

Miinukset: Bed was against wall s it was a small room - moved it out and it was evident room Had not been cleaned thoroughly

Plussat: Big spacious rooms, the shuttle was very convenient as it was quite away out of the central city

Miinukset: Was quite dated

Plussat: The staff does not speak English at all. The hotel is off the main bus routes and a taxi from the train station is quite expensive. I found out by chance, on the second day of my stay, at the train station information, that there is a hotel shuttle. I was not shown this at checkin.

Plussat: Spacious room. Excellent views.

Miinukset: Littlebit outdated. Far from the city center.

Plussat: View

Miinukset: Distance away from city center

Plussat: Staff is kind and helping. Clothes washing machines with reasonable price available on site.

Miinukset: rooms seems to be old. smoking rooms are disgusting!! smoke smell is very strong. I am not a smoker but it was the only room available. Far from city but with a very nice view from hill top.

Plussat: Free self serve breakfast

Miinukset: Location could have been closer to JR station

Plussat: Great breakfast.

Miinukset: Dated interior.

Plussat: The price of the room was very cheap and included breakfast. Other than the carpet stains, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable although probably very firm to western tastes.

Miinukset: The hotel is almost 2km from the train station, so take a taxi if you have a lot of luggage. It's an older style business hotel, and the carpets really need replacing. I was really disappointed that even though I asked in Japanese for a quiet room when I booked, I was given a room overlooking the busy main street instead of the quiet back street. The contrast with the Super Hotel the night before didn't help. The restaurants nearby weren't foreigner friendly and the proximity to a lot of adult bars, clubs and massage places might be fine for Japanese businessmen but it wasn't a family friendly area.

Plussat: The bed was comfortable. Yukata and other amenities were provided.

Miinukset: The whole building and the room were pretty old. The breakfast was disappointing. Nothing sweet was provided except for marmalade.

Plussat: The laundry was for free. Also they have a happy hours which gives beers and another drinks for free and the breakfast has food typical from Japan.

Miinukset: They don't provide free bottles water, something really common in the hotels.

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: The front reception staff was very helpful in helping make plan for sightseeing. Clean and the breakfast provided was excellent! Will come back to this hotel again.

Miinukset: Wish they had a restaurant for dinner! Thanks again.

Plussat: The Morocan Manager at reception and his assistants were outstanding in their service

Plussat: Clean easy to access from train station

Miinukset: The window is not operable.

Plussat: Loved the bathroom in particular the shower free bathroom products

Miinukset: The rooms were a little warm would have been good if we could of adjusted the temperature

Plussat: Near the station and very close to big shoppig mall. Room was very comfortable en clean. Staff was very friendly!

Plussat: The breakfast launch is wide and agreeable. The food is good. The coffee and juices are good.

Plussat: Comfortable bed, nice breakfast, close to convenience store. The light in room can be dimmed too which is helpful when baby sleeps early at night.

Miinukset: The hot water boiler doesn’t have keep warm option. Had to boil water everytime when making milk for baby.

Plussat: Clean, simple, and reasonably priced hotel close to the main park and castle, as well as shopping arcades and restaurants. I would stay here again.

Miinukset: Although the elevator does stop on the 1st (UK ground) floor, this isn't immediately obvious due to its location and so many people may feel they need to take the stairs up to the reception on the 2nd (UK 1st) floor, which isn't actually necessary. This wasn't really a big deal for me, though.

Plussat: The Japanese style breakfast was excellent

Miinukset: 1) the hotel has nothing to do with "View": you see concrete-glass boxes. 2) rooms and facilities are from 70's-80's.

Plussat: Location and bed where great

Miinukset: Bathroom dated, breakfast was ok but nothing to write home about No bottled water, when asked was told to drink from the tap....
