It was a quiet place with a view of Korakuen and Karasujo from the window, but there were only a few toiletries near the reception desk and a toothbrush in the room. The people at the front desk were all very kind and pleasant, so I'm sure there will be repeat customers 😊

Since it is an old hotel, there are some inconveniences such as not having an outlet next to the bed, but it was well-maintained and felt clean.I stayed in a twin room, and the first thing I thought when I entered the room was how spacious it was!It was a room with a view of Okayama Castle, and I had a very comfortable stay.The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of menu items and was very delicious and satisfying.I would definitely like to use it again.

It was a nice room where you could see Okayama Castle from the window, and you could also see it lit up at night.There was also a retro coffee shop on the 1st floor, which was close to the center and had a nice atmosphere.The thing that made me happy the most was the quality of the shower lolThe hotel has a bit of history and is equipped with a comfortable shower.I was able to relax unexpectedly.The room was clean and the price was cheap, so I was very satisfied.(You can use the parking lot at the affiliated hotel for 900 yen per night, but there are many cheaper parking lots nearby.)

Stayed here from September 1st to 2nd.I was told that there was a TV set up where I could watch YouTube and Hulu, so I decided to stay there sometime.A room that can be opened with an old-fashioned key.The view from the 9th floor was great, and I was able to see Okayama Castle lit up at night.The entrance to the underpass was right in front of me, so even if it rained, it would have been easy to get from the tram stop or to the convenience store.The location was very convenient for going to Korakuen, Okayama Castle, and art museums, but to be honest, due to the age of the room, there was a strange smell and dust in some places, and although the shower worked properly, the tap water was low. It was so bad that I thought about telling the staff, but I held back because it wasn't like they wouldn't come out.Also, there was only one coin laundry and microwave in the same space, and while I was waiting for my laundry to be done in light clothes, a man on the same floor kept coming over to use the microwave, which made it uncomfortable.I stayed there on (Monday) and (Tuesday), but the delicious-looking Chinese restaurant on the first floor is closed on Mondays, and the nearby Oriental Museum and International Art Museum are closed on Tuesdays, so I couldn't stay there on (Monday) and (Tuesday). It might be a better hotel without one.Oh, and it was a pain to have to leave the key with me when I went out.However, the breakfast was delicious as usual, and check-in at 2pm and check-out at 12pm is rare, so depending on your purpose, this is a good hotel.

The smiles and service from the front desk staff were ◎!Is the problem with the cleaning of the rooms?Does the manager do surprise checks after cleaning?The dust is amazingThere's so much buildup on top of the air conditioner that you can see it at a glance.The level of cleaning of other furniture is also terrible.If you are allergic to dust, I think it would be difficult for you to stay here, no joke.I'm hoping that after seeing my impressions about how lazy I am and how much I hate cleaning, I'll change my mind.
