KOKO HOTEL Himeji Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent view of Himeji castle and easy 10 min walk from Himeji station. Room was good for a solo traveler under 6’3”. Pillow are very hard but others it’s a great place also brakefast was well done with a blend of European and Japanese buffet"

Dormy Inn Himeji Natural Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent

"I like the free public bath on 12/F a lot. First of all it is open throughout the night, for a night owl who like to walk around the city until late, I can go enjoy the public bath at 1am or 4am is great. I can check whether the public bath is crowded or not on the tv in my room so convenient ! Laundry machine is free ! Dryer costs ¥100 for 20mins. Free popsicles after public bath, free soba noodle every evening, free bottle of water in my fridge. Will definitely stay here again !"
