Incredible and very affordable place to stay! Newly built, meticulously clean, well furnished, and so friendly and helpful. We could not have been happier with our visit!
The space was very clean and modern. I was very comfortable in my room. Great location too, can easily walk to Himeji Castle.
The owner also helped us bring our luggage to the car too! Great guy, great service!
Great stay in a convenient location and nice hosts
Incredibly welcoming and nice hosts, the property is very well located near the castle and a train station. Everything was very clean, convenient, with a very homey feel which made the stay even more comfortable. Slept very well, absolutely no complaints, would recommend and stay again if back in Himeji.
Booked a single room which is very good value. Although bathroom were shared, other guests were quiet so my stay was enjoyable. Owner is very nice and welcoming and breakfast was very good.
Polite and accommodating host, clean, quiet, good shower. Luggage storage. Close to subway station. Each bed in the dorm has the necessities - private light, curtains and lots of plug sockets. The room was a little hot and the pillow very small and flat but overall it was very good value accommodation for the price
I just came from United States of America, I have a jet lag.
I stayed one night and next morning I didn’t feel good, owner took care of me so well and gave me a special herb tea and light snack, I really appreciate it, and I met lots of wonderful Guest to have a wonderful time.
Room is very clean, has everything you need. Also shared bathroom big enough. New clean toilet, like everything else looks recently build. The owner of the property is very helpfull. Don't be scared to ask him questions. Also his English is very good.
Je comprends la note élevée. Le lieu est plus qu'impeccable. Accueil charmant et chaleureux. Sanitaires impeccables comme toute la maison. Les recommandations de restaurants...oon a mange à 3 minutes à pieds dans un micro restaurant local de udon...les meilleures jamais mangées (numero 3 sur la feuille de recommandation). Merci pour cet incroyable sejour
