Grand Base Okayama Ekimae

Perfect location, main station close by, convenience store just a couple minutes away. The room was also not too bad, though it wasn't entirely clean. Some dust haven't been cleaned, in mostly unnoticable places though, like really high up or behind the TV. And even though we haven't met any staff members it wasn't that hard to check in or check out. Though there was difficulty of getting inside the building, as we didn't receive the door code through email. Good thing there were some helpful residents of the hotel who helped us to get inside. Either way final score would be 8.5/10

I never received the email for the early check in instructions. This made it inconvenient when it was time to check in. We had to look for a pay phone to contact customer service. Aside from that hiccup, the stay was great!

Very private, clean and modern. Easy and safe access to the property. Very close from the castle and a lot of dinning options walking distance.

For an unmanned hotel the check in and out process was easy. The rooms were comfortable and clean for our family. The full size shower was brilliant. The negative was the very thin towels

This property is self-check in which is ok unless you need assistance. The room was basic and spacious, the beds were hard but that seems to be the norm in Japan. The area by the hotel is ok, it’s in the middle of a business/residential area. It is roughly a 10min walk to the train station and within walking distance of multiple eating locations. You’ll want to go to a different area. There was quite a bit of noise at night near the hotel from people outside and trucks/vehicles so if you are a light sleeper this could be an issue.
