"Perfect spot close to train station and easy walk to Himeji castle and food markets "

"Our room 806 had a strong sewage smell. Coming from the bathroom. We advised the staff and all they did was to put a refreshener and that did not last.The smell persisted. The bed linen did not fit the mattress, so the sheets would not stay on the mattress. Breakfast average, coffee was good."

"Very friendly & supportive staff. "

"Location is very convenient, near to shops and castle and garden"

"Hotel is a short 5 minutes walk from the train station and property looks pretty new. The room is quite roomy compared to alot of other hotels I’ve stayed in Japan; even after I have opened my small and mid-sized luggage, there’s still room to walk around. Bed was comfy and they provided a firm and a soft pillow for your preference 👍 and there’s a Lawson just across the road. Convenient! would stay here again if I ever come back to Himeji "

"Overall, the property was clean and well maintained, though the hallways felt a bit dated. The stay itself was comfortable, but communication could have been improved. I had clearly requested a half board plan with both dinner and breakfast, but only dinner was booked. While they did confirm dinner in their message, I wish the breakfast portion had been addressed more clearly to avoid any confusion. It may have been a language barrier, but better clarification would have helped."

"Great hotel. Great location. Lovely staff. "

"We spent great time, people are very nice and helpful."

"The hotel's hardware is perfect. We loved our room (特別室離れ庭＆露天風呂付「考槃居」), which cost HK$44,400 (US$5,612) for two nights. The room and bedding were incredibly comfortable, and standard yukatas were provided, though we were surprised by the lack of pajamas. We thoroughly enjoyed the separate bathhouse featuring an outdoor onsen and indoor hinoki bath. However, the bedroom suffered from foot traffic noise. The English-speaking staff tried her best, but lacked the genuine sincerity typical of luxury ryokans. Overall, service felt sloppy considering the hotel's caliber and premium price. We truly wished for service that was more considerate, attentive, and delivered from the heart. Upon arrival, we were informed meals would be served in the main restaurant rather than our room. Disappointingly, we ate dinner alongside three other tables. In our experience, high-end ryokans always offer in-room dining or private restaurant rooms. Guests paying this premium expect privacy and exclusivity, which felt overlooked here. Wanting to utilize our room's generous space, we requested in-room breakfast instead. Fortunately, they accommodated this. Our second dinner remained in the restaurant, but thankfully in a private room. The food was mediocre; the Kobe beef tasted like average wagyu. None of the seasonal dishes possessed the refinement expected at this price point. Overall, we simply wanted a much better dining experience to match the stunning property and the premium we paid."
