Hotels near Mount Shosha Ropeway, Himeji

First time staying at a Dormy hotel inn and super impressed with the level of hospitality for the price! 1. Public onsen and sauna are available on the top floor. Gender segregated with both indoor and outdoor (rotenburo) sections and the usual amenities. Only the sauna is closed overnight, the onsen remains open. Washing machine and dryer are available on 12F too. The washing machine is free, the dryer is not. 2. Free refreshment once you're done with your onsen. Ice cream at night and probiotic drink in the morning. 3. Free serving of ramen (yonakisoba) at night from 21:30-23:00. Head over to the restaurant at 2F. 4. Breakfast buffet is available and it was honestly quite decent for the price. Would stay at Dormy again if I return to Japan 😊

The price is affordable, and the breakfast is delicious with many local specialties. I pretty much always stay at this hotel. The staff are enthusiastic and can even help book long-distance buses. Plus, the hotel is quite new!

We were a family of three traveling to Himeji and stayed for three nights. We initially booked a Hollywood twin room, but found it wasn't suitable upon entering. After discussing it with the hotel staff, we were able to switch to a 27-square-meter standard room, which we were very happy with. The staff were extremely helpful and kept bowing. What we liked most about this hotel was its location. Looking at Google Maps, there are about 50 restaurants within a 1km radius, and it's only about a 5-minute walk from Himeji Station. In short, the location is unbeatable. It's also very convenient to get to Engyo-ji Temple; one bus takes you directly to the final stop. Oh, and a special mention for breakfast – 800 yen for children and 1800 yen for adults. It's definitely worth trying!

Breakfast buffet ( included in the hotel price) is very delicious with many varieties, especially freshly squeezed fruit, vegetable juice, fruits like apples, pineapples, mangoes which were not available in my previous hotel at Toyoko Inn at Fukuyama. However, my only problem was my knee issue ( chronic joints pain) as it was a bit difficult due to pain to get onto the elevated bathroom in the room.

We really enjoyed our time here. Awesome beds with all you need. The toilets were really good and really well arranged. Recommended

Great value for money, and the service was excellent. The self-service check-in and check-out were very convenient. The hotel provides amenities like a microwave, coffee machine, and ice maker, along with various free toiletries and bath salts. They offer complimentary drinks and snacks in the evenings, which I unfortunately missed because I always returned too late. If you opt out of room cleaning, they still provide fresh towels and complimentary bottled water, which is a nice touch. The hotel is only about a five-minute walk from Himeji Station, and there are many delicious restaurants along the way. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and I'd definitely choose it again and recommend it to everyone.

The hostess is very kind. She asked me to introduce a restaurant nearby and go to table tennis in the evening. There are no Koreans, and there are almost many American guests in Europe. It's very far from the station, but it's very close to Himeji Castle.

Best VIEW hotel (affordable price) so far as I tried many hotel in Japan before. Room quite small, wifi on my room not stabil and my lamp turn off twice without no one touching anything. It still fine tho. Abundantly amenities it was amazing! If you come to Himeji, I will recommend this hotel! It only straight from HIMEJI station and easy to find food nearby! Ps : my room space a bit weird. Hard to put 2 small cabin luggage. I hope only my room have this matter.

Hotel was clean and super close to the station. Himeji Castle reachable by foot. Staff was kind and keen to help, we really felt welcome here. Room was small (as everywhere in Japan) but clean and provided with all the amenities needed! We would absolutely recommend this place! PS: They also have a cool onsen with a sauna and an outdoor bath!
