Location is just right by entrance to old quarter. Price includes good dinner and next day ok buffet breakfast. It's a hotel so things in room is really a hotel, not a backpacker thing. Such a treat. Staffs are all nice, in reception and restaurant too.
No wifi in room

Great value with half board. The hotel is a budget hotel aimed at Japanese workers so don't expect any English language or signage. Use Google translate. The restaurant was mainly staffed by Japanese grannies which is charming. At the time of writing there is a rice shortage so being good traditional grannies they watch the portion sizes and don't like wastage. If you are ok with traditional values and don't arrive with fancy tourist expectations you will be fine. This is Japan so you can expect politeness and helpfulness, but don't be a tourist.

I stayed there for 1 night, the location of the hotel is not far from the train station and Kurashiki Bikan, allowing me to spend plenty of time taking cityscape photos, the price of the room included dinner and breakfast. the hotel was a little bit old but still functional and the room was clean.
I understand that there is a shortage of labor problem in Japan, hence we the guest have to take shower kits from the lobby themself, but there isn't a shower cap in the shower kits.

Location and price were excellent when booked well in advance. The breakfast/dinner included in the price was a great bonus and left me satisfied.
The WiFi was not accessible from my room at the end of the hall. The smoking room stunk to high heaven and the stench remained in my clothes long afterwards (maybe I didn't specify non-smoking during booking?) --- I've learnt my lesson.

A basic hotel but an incredibly low price considering it offers free dinner and breakfast (I'm vegan and so didn't take the meals). Compact, super clean room.

Obliging and friendly staff Food was edible Location next to Bikan Historical Quarter Price Onsen
Room stank like high heaven when I entered. It clearly hadn't been aired out from the previous guest - opening the window sorted this. Stains on roof of the room and walls. This hotel could be so much better if rooms had new paper, carpet and lampshades. Ok for a few nights.
