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.

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

お得感満載の宿でした。新築かと思うようなきれいな部屋、洗面所、お風呂←シャワーだけでなく、バスタブあり🎶共用の冷蔵庫は２階の部屋前にもあり、夜中にアイス食べたくなっても、部屋から１歩で取りに行かれる。 いつも気にかけてくれるオーナーと、扉の向こうのご自宅から聞こえてくる子どもの声。友達の家に泊まりに来たかのような心地良い宿でした。 とても快適な時間を過ごさせていただきました。ありがとうございました😊
