View of the castle is amazing! We had the terrace to ourselves for the sun rise as well which was beautiful. Toilet over flowed in the night so we had a wet bathroom floor in the morning but had towels to take care of the situations. Beds are extremely comfortable. Had 2 singles that as put together to make a California king size bed. Nice a close to the hotel and train station for convenience. Lots of shopping centers around and small off shots of local businesses. Stumbled onto some rare finds while exploring. If you enjoy cars the Torino museum is close as well.

Close accommodations to the castle, tasty food

This hotel was very very close to the castle. Very convenient to access the castle early, and let me tell you, that's worth it. The staff is very friendly. The breakfast is worth it, if for no other reason, than their homemade almond butter. Follow the instructions for deliciousness. The rooms are clean and comfortable. It's quite a walk from the main station, but 90% of that walk is sheletered by a shopping arcade.

OK, very good location

The room was OK, small size but enough for what it's used. We didn't have any problems and the staff were helpful. The bed was too firm, as it tends to be the case in most places in Japan. For breakfast there wasn't any western option, it was all rice, noodles, meat, etc. I understand that this is how they eat breakfast in Japan and I don't mind eating some of it but given that hotels are for tourists, it would be good to have 1 or 2 cereal, a fruit salad and some pastries at least. It was at walking distance to Himeji Castle and a shopping centre. We appreciated the free goodies, including a coffee/tea machine by reception.
