Vety friendly, helpful staff. Free coffee and soft drinks 24/7. The free breakfast was a combination of about 10 different breads and pastories. Great location, about a 8 min walk from the station. Family Mart 2 minute walk away. Lots of restaurants close by. A very basic hotel, still using a key to enter the room. But very clean and homely feel. Would definately recommend it and would stay there again.

It is a good deal for how much you are paying. The building may be a little old, but the staff try to make up for it with their great service. They also offer free unlimited drinks and popsicles.

Fantastic service but room smelled of cigarettes

The hotel was a little difficult to find at first but once you know the way it was easy. The staff were extremely friendly and very courteous.

We had a early start and informed them that we would’ve heading out before breakfast started. They set aside some snacks for us to take the next morning which was a lovely touch. They even organized for a package to be delivered to my next hotel when the Post Office was closed. We were so impressed by the amount of hospitality from the hotel.

The room itself was spacious for the two of us but the only downside was that the room smelled of cigarette smoke. As a non smoker it was hard to sleep and the deodorizer in the room was utilized all night long. We had a restless nights sleep.

If the rooms were not smoky it would have been a very good nights sleep.

Directions (provided by hotel) from train station to hotel were not clear, if not helpful. “Breakfast included “ was exaggerated - only coffee/other drinks and a few pre-packaged breads were offered.

The location isn't right next to the station, but it's only a 10 minute walk. The bed is larger than what I've found in most single rooms in business hotels, and the room is slightly more spacious. The \"washlet\" bathroom is a bit dated, but very comfortable and functional.

In addition, friendly behavior of the staffs was highly encouraging. Furthermore, free break fast drinks was also good points. Lastly, I was there for a day but with busy schedule, hotel management ease my life providing a comfort bicycle, with which I went around the city, Korakoen park, Okayama castle and to the test center.

Conveniently located a comfortable walk (with luggage) from the JR station, and a similar distance from Kōraku-en Garden and Okayama Castle in the other direction. Don’t be put-off by the unassuming reception area, the rooms are a good size, clean and comfortable, and the staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful, and speak a little English. There are also very useful coin operated laundry machines on the ground floor. The local area hosts plenty of cafés, restaurants and izakayas, some of which will provide a menu in English. Room rates are very reasonable - we will definitely stay there again next time we are in Okayama.

Better than usual business hotel

This hotel distinguishes itself by offering lots of free things not offered by business hotels, such as premium TV channels, free all day drinks in the lobby (coffee, tea, juice, soft drinks), free breads from 7-9am, bath salts, and multiple beauty creams in the bathroom. The room was also slightly larger than usual. The ceiling light in the room is operated through round center button on a remote control (not a wall switch). Unusually, there was no bedside lamp but everything else made up for this small \"defect\". Wifi was excellent.
