Takasago Hotels

"Everything is good. Surprise find of gym. Very rare in Japan. "

"接客、温泉、無料のアイスとラーメン、飲料など至れり尽くせりで大満足"

"The room is too hot. With the window open, train and motorcycle are very noisy. "

"Clean room, typical Japanese room size (not too small but not spacious). Convenient location. Parking could be limited even though they said hotel guests have priority. They have additional offsite parking partnerships if parking is full."

"A great value hotel, with small but well appointed rooms"

"It was difficult to find the hotel because the only sign outside was in Japanese and the place looked deserted. A passer-by took us in and I was surprised to find everywhere in semi darkness, the reason being that we had entered just before check in. The room was spotless, warm and comfortable with both dinner and breakfast included on the price. "

"Excellent stay! Hotel is very new, modern and spotlessly clean. Perfect location, just a 5 min walk from Himeji station and the Shinkansen. Staff were really friendly and helpful at check in. Stayed in a twin room and it was a great size vs. other rooms we had stayed in during our Japan trip. Would strongly recommend!"

"Good"

"I booked a room with a view of the sea and it was definitely worth paying slightly more for it. The rooms are modern and comfortable with a sliding screen that can be used to separate the bed area from the rest of the room. Free coffee and tea available downstairs, plus water and instant coffee provided in the room daily. A breakfast plan does not seem to be available, so I bought breakfast in the local supermarket (a Lawsons is even closer). Higashiura bus terminal is on the other side of the road which makes for good travel connections (there is a taxi rank at the bus terminal and I also used Uber). Staff at the hotel were helpful and many spoke basic English. Higashiura is less busy than other areas of Japan with the sea, rice fields and the countryside nearby. Some streets have no or limited street lights - not really an issue as Japan is very safe, but be aware of traffic. Two things I’d like the hotel to improve 1) to use the wifi you seem to have to register with Marriot and the login process initially confused the VPN I use 2) to use the washer and dryers you have to download an app, let it connect to bluetooth, then pay by apple pay, credit card or some other payment methods - you can’t use coins as the slots have been taped up. Feels unnecessarily complex. For luggage forwarding, I asked and if I understood correctly, they only support cash on delivery to the next destination. In summary, a very nice hotel and I’d be more than happy to stay there again."
