Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near Okayama Station and Aeon Mall, making it easy to access. The rooms, although a bit tired, are spacious enough to accommodate luggage comfortably. The service is exceptional, with staff willing to assist in English. The dining options are diverse, featuring both Japanese and Western selections. Overall, the hotel provides good value for the money, offering a satisfying stay.
I stayed on the 3rd floor across from the Aeon mall and a major thoroughfare. There were a lot of business people staying here, and while the rooms could use some more ventilation, the location was convenient overall.
The hotel's rooms were just that little bit bigger than most in Japan, which made a huge difference as I could actually fit my suitcase and still move around freely. However, the rooms were a bit small, making it hard to open my luggage fully on the floor. The beds were incredibly comfortable, offering enough space to move around comfortably.
The hotel is conveniently located near the Okayama station, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms, while not overly spacious, are clean and meet the typical Japanese hotel standards. The service is top-notch, with helpful staff always ready to assist. The dining options offer a tasty Japanese breakfast at a reasonable price. However, the rooms may feel a bit outdated, and the facilities could be improved.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was very convenient, right next to the Okayama Jr station, making it easy to access shopping centers and food places. The rooms, although decent in size, had a strong odor and weren't ideal for two people traveling together. The service was a bit of a mixed bag, with some staff being friendly and fluent in English, but others seemed more concerned about their job security than resolving issues amicably with guests.
