5/5
The room was spacious and the TV was big and I could watch ABEMA TV, so I watched a lot of anime. There is a large public bath on the second floor, and after relaxing a little, I took a soak in the large bath in my room. Ice is also placed on each floor, so you can drink ice cold drinks. There are a lot of food stores nearby, but I couldn't find the one I wanted to eat.Also, there were a lot of passersby in the shopping district around the station who prioritized themselves, and even though I avoided them to avoid getting hit, there was a woman who came at me with a short cut. I came across a student bike riding on the sidewalk and measured the level of people. If this is the case, you should buy it at Hot Motsuto in front of the hotel. I am satisfied with my stay. You can park your car at several affiliated parking lots nearby, including the affiliated multi-storey parking lot next to the hotel. It costs about 500 yen a day.

★-1 because there is no hand soap in the room. It would be nice if there were more amenities. The room is large and clean. The TV is big and the unit bath is spacious. The location is good, so I might use it again the next time I'm on a business trip to Himeji.

I used it for one night and two days.It is located in a relatively easy-to-understand location, about a 5-minute walk from the south exit of Himeji Station.There is a Family Mart near the hotel, so you can do some minor shopping.There are also commercial facilities directly connected to the station, so you won't have to worry about killing time.The most important part of the hotel is the front desk, guest rooms, public bath, and restaurant, all of which are simple but clean and easy to use.Wet towels were provided at check-in, and basic amenities (toothbrushes, disposable razors) and sweets were available in front of the elevator.The rooms have the feel of a typical business hotel, but the air conditioners and refrigerators are in good working order.There is a slightly wider bathtub, but since there is a large public bath, I think it would be better if it is easier to use.The mattress was hard, so your taste may differ.I had a plan that included breakfast, but I was satisfied.We also enjoyed the local Himeji oden, sobameshi, and daily specials.thank you very much.
