The hotel was accessible from the station with a short street car ride (can be walked too, but we'd rather not with our luggage). We enjoyed the view from our room on the garden and the castle, very beautiful at night. The café was handy for breakfast. We did not use it for other meals. The garden and the castle were within walking distance as well as local eateries.

Everything was fine.

The view from our room looking out over the river and castle was absolutely beautiful and after sunset the castle is lit up with lights. What a treat. Easy walking to the beautiful Korakuen garden. The staff we friendly and welcoming, greeting us as we came and went from the hotel. The beds were comfy and the TV had many choices of viewing including YouTube etc - for free. The breakfast had a vast selection of tasty Japanese dishes as well as western choices and the espresso coffee machine made the best coffee we’ve had in Japan.

Everything was great but we did have some problems controlling the air conditioner as we can’t read Japanese . An English instruction guide would be great.

We liked the location as it is near a tramline and restaurants and shopping are close by. It is very close to Okayama Castle and shops in that direction too. Breakfast was nice too! Staff very helpful. Price of accommodation was good.

It is situated on a corner so need to unload around the back street and walk it around, but was fine, and there were public parking lots not far away so access was good during stay. The rooms step back in time, but not a deal breaker for the price and the bathrooms and bedding were fine. We took advantage of having a room each which is always welcome during a road trip!!

The staff was very kind and trying their best to help me figuring out how to travel further. Coin washing machines and dryer are available. The Okayama castle and Park is super close. I would recommend to take a taxi from Okayama station. The bus system doesn't belong to JR and the suica card is not working. It were around 1200 yen

We can see the castle directly from our room. The shopping street is walkable. The size of the room is good by the Japanese standard.

The parking is not right on site. We had to stop at the hotel and ask where it was, which was hard cos there was no room to park in front of the hotel. The furniture in the room was quite random and old. There were even holes in the curtains.

Stayed for 2 nights. It was a very comfortable room. We possibly had the best room on the 10th floor with a great view of the castle and river The location is excellent to the garden and castle and q km from the train station. The buffet breakfast is also good. A

All good

The staff are really welcoming and friendly and the breakfast was one of the best I have had in Japan - loved the coffee. The rooms are spacious and it's close to street car/buses. There's a few restaurants nearby including a craft beer place.

It is a little older so the bathroom is a bit weathered.

Location, cleanliness & staff

Beds and pillows very hard. Not a comfortable sleep. Hotel claims parking available, but there is none on site. Expensive paid parking is however nearby.

Proximity to castle and gardens. Comfortable bed. Sitting area in our room to watch TV. Small area outside of the bathroom with an extra wash basin, mirror and chair.

Air conditioner blowing on me during the night. Hotel is a fair way from restaurants and shops.

Spacious room with couch. Not fancy but nicely presented and comfortable. Easy tram from the station and very close to castle and gardens.
