Great
AAnonymous UserHotel location is good as walking distance to Himeji Castle. The room is spacious enough and it has most amenities provided. Breakfast was good as the spread is even between local and international. Just nice for breakfast. Would love to stay again when I return to explore Himeji further.
GGuest UserRoom is small. Stayed one night and over the weekend hence the room rate was high. Also it coincided with the marathon. There was free parking which was one of the reasons I chose this hotel. The hotel staff are not very conversant in English and it is not near the city centre. There was however a very big supermarket nearby where we could pick foodstuff for our journey up north. Came back to Himeji a week later and this time I stayed at a hotel located in the city centre where there are a lot of parking around it.
LLiuqiuTake the north exit of Himeji Station and walk for five minutes to get there. However, some rooms are close to the railway and very close to the Sanyo Department Store. Shopping is very convenient and the price/performance ratio is relatively high.
YY_baeThe sixth time I came to Japan, I have lived in Toyoko several times. The service attitude of this front desk is the worst I have ever seen in Japan! Worse than some domestic front desks, even it is not a problem of service or service, it is completely rude!
Other than that, there is no problem, very clean, and the location is convenient.

JJonathan Tak ShingMy wife and I stayed at a Japanese-Style Room with Japanese Cypress Open-Air Bath on the Terrace. The hotel has English speaking staff who was very friendly and helpful. The dinner and breakfast were amazing, and the servers Mr Shiraiwa and Ms Yamaguchi provided excellent services. This is one of the best onsen ryokans we have experienced, and we look forward to returning.
ZZhaowenIt is a little far from Himeji station, so is it inconvenient when the weather is bad? However, there are convenience stores and McDonald's nearby, so it is convenient. The facilities are aging, but other surrounding hotels are similar, and I didn't use the large communal bath or free food and drink this time, but it's a good deal, so I definitely want you to use it. orz
