Hotele niedaleko Okayama Castle, Okayama

Three railway stations between the JR Okayama, this hotel locates in a quiet zone near by the Okayama castle. As most kinds of business hotels, digital and automatic protocols run smoothly. There are also some good and small restaurants in the nearby community and even a local shopping street. This is the cheapest hotel I ever lived during travel but still have relatively good quality.

We used it for business. The front desk was empty around ２１ when we arrived. It is a little difficult to understand the entrance, but you will go up to ２ floor by elevator. (The entrance is closed at ２４, and then a card key is required) The elevator will always stop once on the ２ floor when you go up or down. Room clothes are not prepared in the room, so they are taken out of the locker equipped near the front desk. The room was highly confidential and the noise outside was blocked. There was also a humidifier, so there seems to be no worry about drying.

Staff in this hotel we’re very eager to please guests. The list of amenities offered ranged from herbal tea to an offer to provide a softer mattress if it was needed. I did not need it. The all you can eat breakfast buffet was very good. Lots of choices. Well prepared. I recommend not going to breakfast in the last 45 minutes of the window, because there were fewer choices then.. The location is excellent. It was walking distance to the hotel, and to the Korakuen Garden and Castle.

Is right at night spot area about 7-10 minutes walk from the JR station. Good for people wish to stay late. Front desk staffs are nice and helpful. Can’t ask for more for this price. A definite choice for limited budget guest. Even with a bath tub 👍

We booked this hotel as we wanted a newer hotel near Okayama station. The room was the largest of the 4 hotels we stayed in Japan. The complimentary onsen, snacks, drinks and supper were plus points. In addition laundry machine was free to use, just pay 100yen for the dryer. Highly recommend to stay here!

　I almost missed breakfast on Sunday morning. At the time of check-in, you can see the photo and it is a set menu, so only the explanation is that you can choose from these 5 types on the day. Understand that it is ”set menu only”. Even though it is a business hotel in front of the station, Sunday starts at 7 o'clock 30 minutes later than weekdays. It seems to be entrusted to the tavern on the same floor as the front desk, and even if it is explained, the location is not clear, and it cannot be seen from the front desk. When I left the hotel at 7:30 and headed for the store, there was a person in the chair in front of me. However, there is no tag saying that you are waiting, so when you say breakfast in the store, you will say, ”Please wait in front.” When you try to write the name, there is no such thing. However, it seems that you should sit in the corridor and wait until the order comes. I heard that I took out, but I didn't. I have to leave for work, but this will miss eating breakfast ... When I returned to the front desk and explained the situation to the hotel staff, the hotel did not know the situation at all. I'll go to the breakfast shop together and listen to the situation. Finally, the first people started to leave, and luckily, the previous people were all group guests, so I sat at about 8:45. When I entered, the set was only the main, and a little buffet was added. Moreover, it is understood that only up to 8 people (groups) can enter the store in the form of a private room izakaya. With this, there is a great possibility that I couldn't enter the store even if I waited forever, and I think it is disqualified as breakfast at a business hotel. Don't throw the hotel round, understand what the situation is and improve it.

Hotel is part of the Granvia chain operated by train operator JR. They are always located right next to a JR train station and therefore very convenient to get to once you get off a train. Rooms tend to be tiny, with problem finding a space to even open 2 luggages. Hotel lobbies are grand but the rooms look tired, and there are really limited facilities for example they do not have public baths. Overall a functional and convenient place to stay but not luxurious.

Close to JR and Aeon mall so no worry about transport, dining and shopping. Public bath little bit crowded when six persons already fully occupied the indoor bath. Also the bedside lamp quite odd in term of size and flexibility to move aside.

We used it for event participation at Okayama Convention Center. It is directly connected to Okayama Station and it is very easy to move. It is also convenient to Okayama Convention Center. I think it depends on the location of the room, but the room I stayed this time was able to see the platform of Okayama Station from the room, so I think that is also attractive for those who like trains. There are many restaurants in the station building of Okayama Station and there is no inconvenience in eating. It is a very recommended hotel for those who have a business at the Convention Center since early morning at Okayama Station late at night.

Every time I come to Okayama, I choose a hotel that is close to the station and convenient for Shinkansen travel. Okayama Airport now has more flights to Shanghai, and the airport bus station is directly opposite the hotel, which is also very convenient. The room window has a view of Okayama City. The room is spacious and has a small sofa. Breakfast is also rich and healthy The Chinese service at the front desk is considerate and enthusiastic.
