The room and building a bit old but the room and bathroom are clean. Free breakfast and dinner. Salad/bread only for vegetarian. Close to the station. For the price, very good value.

It was difficult to find the hotel because the only sign outside was in Japanese and the place looked deserted. A passer-by took us in and I was surprised to find everywhere in semi darkness, the reason being that we had entered just before check in. The room was spotless, warm and comfortable with both dinner and breakfast included on the price.

Should be one of the cheapest hotels in Himeji area. Meals are provided but I felt like they're worse than in jail (I've never been to jail, though). If you're looking for budgetary hotel, this is the right place.

Extremely close to train and bus stations. Kind of old. Room smells moldy. But for this price and convenience, it’s fair enough given that the city itself is somewhat expensive now.

夕食や朝食が付いてるので非常にお得ですが、会場が常に混み合っているので落ち着かないですね。 　会場利用時間を部屋によって分ける事は難しいでしょうが、強制ではなくお願いという形でお客様に御協力を仰いだらよろしいかと思います。(御協力をいただけるお客様には、何か特典を付けても良いかもしれません。)

くし、カミソリ、歯磨き、寝巻きのみフロント上のカゴや棚からセルフで取りますが、その他(綿棒等)のアメニティはフロントのスタッフに声掛けしないともらえませんので、少し面倒です。綿棒も個包装のものではなく、市販のものですので、その中から必要な数だけ取るという形式です。エコですが衛生面は気になります。
