Via Inn Himeji (Jr West Group)
3.9/55 Reviews
I give the hotel an excellent score for location. Honestly, 2-5 minutes to all transportation access, 10 minutes walk to Himeji Castle, seconds to popular Japanese sushi bars- oh much longer, maybe minutes (I had to stop and get my bearings as usual) to the rest of downtown Himeji. Beds are firm, space is tight in this typical business person's hotel- yes more and more women so no longer businessman's. Staff have limited English, but they do their very best! I had to to extend by a day and my Japanese was not proficient in this area. Well after a few basic misunderstandings, commonsense reigned, we worked around my poor Japanese and the extra day was booked- cheaper if you do it online. Daily rates do change, so be quick to book directly with the hotel do not go third party, because if there are any problems, you have to try and contact third party and in Japan this is not always easy when off the main cities. What I really liked about this hotel is that they open up the floors to the air everyday. Are trying to keep environmentally clever, not easy in Japan. So everything is not automatic such as aircon. Windows are double glazed so you do not hear or feel a train and sirens are heard only when really close- hey its inner city. Breakfast is not gourmet Japanese cuisine (my other research specialty) and they cannot do eggs to save themselves,but everything else on brekky is tasty and included in price. If you do not speak Japanese the breakfast ladies (yes) will easily understand a few hand gestures on which button to push for a cuppa. They do it all the time for the Japanese! If you travel from the hotel under rail lines in the direction to the castle but not on otomaemichi, you will wander down streets of everyday Himeji- safely. What is amazing, is that you are still in the old moat district and will see vignettes of Himeji on signs and street organisation from before the Meiji period. Head to Hojoguchi still keeping away busy streets to your left. Little cafes, shops and the like will enjoy you custom. All of Himeji understands international visitors for hundreds of years so the service may be a little different and not as accommodating as expected in the hotel, but persevere and live a few minutes with the locals. After hours, when the nightlife awakens, bars are great fun.
Hotel Livemax Himeji Ekimae
3.7/554 Reviews
I think it's a minimum customer service in the feeling of the zaka business hotel. It is a recommended hotel for those who want to stay regardless of people. The image of the room is a smaller image than the hotel premium. The cigarette smell is great. ※ people who are not good at cigarettes 🙅‍♀️※ But the ribmax group thinks it's good that all the microwave ovens are in the room. There are many high parkins nearby, so if you want to stop at a cheap place, you can stop at 300 yen at night if you walk a little!
Himeji Castle Grandvrio Hotel
4/5105 Reviews
There are not many free parking facilities around Himeji station, and I used this hotel to meet my friend this time, but the parking space of the three-dimensional parking lot is narrow, so if you are not confident in driving, you will be parked in the three-dimensional parking lot I think it's better to avoid it. The front desk 々 response was good. There are also shampoo bars and amenities bars next to the front desk. Amenities bars are prepared with tea, miso soup, soup, mouse wash, etc., but you will not be able to use it at 24 o'clock. Although it is a room, I stayed in the smoking twin room on the East Building 5 floor, but immediately after entering the room, I was a little worried about the smell of cigarettes even for smokers. There was no discomfort in the cleaning condition. I was worried about the sound of the air conditioner (it seems to be the sound of the compressor). It is a temperature adjustment of the hot water of the unit bus, but it is not a temperature setting type like the modern one, and it is a type of adjusting the handle of the hot water to the temperature of the preference, so it is a little troublesome. Also, since there is no function to temporarily stop the shower, when you want to keep the water temperature of your favorite when washing your body, you will not be able to get out, so you feel that the hot water is unpleasant. The public bathhouse has no inner bath and scenery, but it has an outer bath, and there were natural hot springs, hot water and carbonated hot water in the outer snow. The size was good and good, but there was a place where the shower hose in the washroom was hardened, and it was a little difficult to use. I think the breakfast side dishes were prepared except for the business hotel standard side dishes, and it was good. The atmosphere of the breakfast venue was 々 more than the field work on the day I used it, and it was a busy feeling. Although it is a guide in the hotel building, there is a place where it has been slightly changed (smoking space, microwave oven, ice machine, vending machine installation position), and I want to correct it here. The overall hotel impression is old, but I didn't feel uncomfortable, and I didn't feel uncomfortable with the staff at each place. But there was no good point like this, so it would be an ordinary evaluation.
Hotel Wing International Himeji
3.9/574 Reviews
The Hotel Wing International Himeji is located just a few blocks from the famous Himeji Castle. That means one can go near the castle any time. I went there early in the morning as well as late at night to take beautiful photos. To me, that is essential during my travel. What's more, the hotel has a veranda which is lighted, allowing guests to sit and enjoy a different view of the castle, day and night. The hotel includes also a tasty Japanese style buffet breakfast. It is not a big hotel; however, it has everything I need to enjoy during my stay.
Comfort Hotel Himeji
4.1/563 Reviews
The plane parking lot is right next to the hotel and the luggage is convenient. I think the location is good because it is a little 20 minutes walk to Himeji Jo castle and a few minutes to the station. The twin rooms were wide 々 and it was good to be able to spend slowly even for all the family. Breakfast was good to be able to get as much as you like, and the breakfast venue was also wide 々 and it was good to feel open. There are many one-way traffic around the hotel, and I saw a person who was caught by the police without knowing it was one-way. I think it would be good to be run according to Navi.
Dormy Inn Himeji Natural Hot Spring
4.3/551 Reviews
The location is very convenient near JR Himeji Station. It takes about twenty minutes to walk to Himeji Castle. The point is...the breakfast is very delicious! They cook with seasonal ingredients! I decided to stay in this hotel because of the breakfast and hot springs! Big recommendation!
