Considering the price, there's nothing to complain about.Breakfast and dinner included is amazing in this day and age.Of course, it's free food, so don't imagine it as a hotel breakfast.If you've ever gone on a cheap accommodation ski tour when you were a student, you'll know that it's all ready-made products sold wholesale from places like Gyomu Super.I think everything except the rice and miso soup is the same, so don't get your hopes up.The noise was only the occasional sound of the Shinkansen and didn't bother me.

This is a business hotel located right next to the south exit of Himeji Station. Breakfast and dinner are included and this is a very cheap inn.The guest rooms are built like apartments. Meals will be served at the restaurant on the first floor. For dinner, you can choose between a daily set meal or a curry set meal, and breakfast is a buffet, with a salad bar and drink bar for both breakfast and dinner.Alcohol is also sold from vending machines in the restaurant, and some people were seen enjoying evening drinks. Since I was staying for several nights, I tried both for dinner, but I felt that the daily set meal was better.There is also a large public bath and sauna on the 15th floor (14th floor for women), where you can stretch your legs and take a bath.Overall, the service is decent, and the food is similar to that of a company cafeteria, but considering the cost of accommodation and location, it's probably a good idea.

While prices are rising, dinner and breakfast are included for 7,500 yen for two people. I would also like to use it when traveling to Keihanshin.

The internet connection is at a low level that cannot be used for practical purposes. There is no problem with the water. The TV is HDMI compatible. The food was average. Elevator congestion is likely to occur, so it's best to leave yourself plenty of time.

Prices are on the rise at this time of year, and some of the other customers seem to be unsavory civil engineering workers.There are a few of them, honestly it's annoying.Other people are nice.I feel like the customer service is a little bad.There's not much food in the morning and evening.The room is pretty clean.

I went back to my parents' house and wanted to relax by myself for a while, so I stayed here because it was cheap.Breakfast and dinner are included, and there is also a large public bath.There are no amenities, so it is better to bring your own. However, I was able to stay for 4,500 yen per night, so I was satisfied even though the amount of food was small and the WiFi was weak.

I used it 2 years ago.I didn't feel the service was very good.I guess it's just the convenience of being right in front of the station.

It is a one-room apartment type, but there is a large public bath, free dinner, and breakfast.Comes with the best cost performance
