The location of the hotel is an easy walk from the train station through the covered streets, with a real ‘local’ feel, handy when it’s raining. The hotel is modern and welcoming. Our room was clean, spacious and comfortable with all the things you need. My only criticism was the infuriating aircon system that seemed to have no quiet setting. The public bath and sauna were excellent and clean, with the bonus of your room tv telling you when it was busy. Breakfast was good, with plenty of choice and views across Kurashiki. Overall the hotel is great place to stay, with easy access to everything. The added bonus was the availability of local sake to try, free for the first glass.
