Akashi Luminous Hotel

Despite being only two minutes from the station, it was hard to find. It seems to be behind the station. I got quite lost... My room was non-smoking, but it smelled a bit like cigarettes. There were amenities available at the hotel entrance that you could take with you. It was nice that they had bath salts. The hotel is old, but overall it was fine.

My mother-in-law stayed at the hotel, but she didn't have a notepad or pen. When she asked the woman at the front desk to borrow one, she was quick to lend him hers, but when it came to the notes, a man who seemed to be the hotel's boss handed them to her in a grumpy manner and asked, "How many do you want?" I regret having made her feel uncomfortable because I was the one who made the reservation.

It's a very old hotel. You still need a key to open the door. Remember to lock the door again with the key after entering and leaving. However, the room has everything you need. The price is super cheap. There is also a breakfast buffet in the morning. However, I went out early in the morning those few days and didn't eat there. The location is also good. It's only a 3-minute walk from the station. I forgot to take pictures of the room, so I'll just post a few pictures of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge.

The free breakfast was delicious. Because it's free, there's no extra charge if you arrive late. lol I wish there was an outlet by the pillow.

I often stay at the Hyogo Station Luminous, and here are some good points... ○ The door has a Showa-era feel, the interior is cleaner than the Hyogo Luminous, and there are USB ports around the bed, which is very helpful (the Hyogo Luminous does not have USB charging, and there are no outlets around the bed). ○ The air conditioning works pretty well, I think. ○ The breakfast included is the best part. Although the selection is limited, it's more than enough. ○ Parking is more expensive in nearby coin parking lots than in Hyogo, probably due to the Shinkansen. (Hotel parking is often used by business travelers.) If it's available, I recommend it, personally. The only downside is that the refrigerator is a little loose.

It's conveniently located near the station. Despite its dated exterior, the room was very clean and equipped with basic amenities, including Wi-Fi, making for a comfortable stay. There was a problem with the number of rooms when storing our luggage before check-in, but we were grateful for the sincere response. (In the end, it was a miscommunication error on the part of the subcontracted travel agency.)

It was close to the station and clean. I didn't request room cleaning because I was staying multiple nights, but they provided me with new towels and a change of clothes. It was enough for a solo traveler.

The hotel was reasonably priced and the breakfast was delicious. I was very satisfied.
