Central Hotel is located within easy walking distance of Okayama station, along the city's canal walk and opposite a pleasant park, overlooked by the majority of the rooms. The area is really pleasant and that carries forward to the staff (who were very professional and pleasant) and the hotel itself. The style is modern, the rooms clean and well furnished with a practical, relatively spacious layout. I didn't take advantage of the breakfast option, but everything I did experience was top notch!

Not really criticisms, but I didn't realise staff would enter the room daily for turn down. A "Do Not Disturb" sign would be appreciated. Also note that guests are asked to return keys to the front desk when leaving the hotel.

Nice place for a short stay. Central location and the room had everything I needed.

It was strange that the key should be given to the reception every time that you leave the hotel. How do you know the key is secure and no one else uses your key while you are away? This system caused me delays when I was returning to my room and had to wait in line behind other customers to get my key. This system should be removed or automated. Maybe this hotel has had problems with more people staying than were paid for, but I have not experienced this in other hotels.

This is my second time staying at this property. The location is fantastic—close to the station, shopping malls/supermarkets but off the main streets. I enjoyed walking back to the hotel through the river park.

Nothing I didn't like, but the hotel does ask guests not to leave valuables in the room unattended and instead to bring it to the front desk for storage. I am the anxious type so I ended up developing some trust issues and started packing everything back to my suitcase before going out in the morning, and sometimes I asked the front desk staff to store my laptop there. To be sure, the staff were always very patient and sweet with my requests. I certainly also appreciate the amount of consideration that the hotel puts into preventing theft. But to be honest I wouldn't worry about it to begin with if I weren't exposed to the warnings....

Our room overlooked the canal which was very picturesque. Reasonably spacious except for the bathroom.

I would have liked the choice of a continental breakfast.

Very spacious entrance. A lot of staff in the lobby. Modern facilities.

No hand soap. Bath is too small. The room is pretty bright at night because of the light outside and on the hallway. A bit far from the station.

Great location. Modernised rooms of good size for Japanese Hotel rooms.

Some outside noise due to central location

The staff was very helpful and the room was clean and comfortable.

The room only had white Led lights. I prefer warmer lights for a bedroom, but I know some had warmer lights so I guess it depends on the room you get.

Comfy, clean

Desk lights were very hot, but otherwise very good

The bed was really comfortable, the facilities were nice and there's a little park in front of the hotel to have a nice walk.

Central location, staff very friendly. Room was good for the price. I would definitely consider staying here again for a weekend trip.

Sometimes it could be quite noisy hearing people in the hallways or rooms next door.
