10/10 Excellent

Dormy Inn Himeji Natural Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent

"I like the free public bath on 12/F a lot. First of all it is open throughout the night, for a night owl who like to walk around the city until late, I can go enjoy the public bath at 1am or 4am is great. I can check whether the public bath is crowded or not on the tv in my room so convenient ! Laundry machine is free ! Dryer costs ¥100 for 20mins. Free popsicles after public bath, free soba noodle every evening, free bottle of water in my fridge. Will definitely stay here again !"

Himeji Castle Grandvrio Hotel

8/10 Good

"A very nice hotel close to Himeji station and the castle. The breakfast is very generous and the hotel staff are very attentive. It is impeccably clean. However, the rooms are quite small and there isn’t even space under the bed for any kind of luggage. Bear this in mind if you have a large suitcase (you might be able to store it closed and vertically in the small wardrobe)"

Richmond Hotel Himeji

8/10 Good

"初めての宿泊でアメニティがたくさんあり、大変助かった。事前に分かっていれば持ち物が少なくって良かったと思う。"

APA Hotel Himeji Ekikita

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel in a great location with an excellent and helpful staff. Minutes away and easy walking distance from Himeji Station, the Castle, and a covered shopping arcade with many shops and restaurants. Plus you have easy access to all the stores in and around the train station. Rooms are clean, thoughtfully outfitted and functional."
