Himeji Vacations from ￥37,036

The room was basic and clean. The main issue was that the air conditioning was disabled in the room. There was a sign in the room stating it was controlled across the whole hotel and I wouldn't be able to turn it on. It was quite humid in Osaka when I was visiting, and the lack of AC meant I had to keep the window open the tiny amount that was allowed. This made the primary purpose of the hotel to "Just Sleep" a bit more difficult than I would have liked. If you don't mind being a little warm and sweaty during the night, you might be okay. I found it difficult to sleep and get comfortable in the warm humid nights. I would suggest calling ahead to see if the air conditioning is allowed/enabled before making a trip to this hotel. Or perhaps only go in the cooler months.

Very clean. Very convenient. Love it.

Don’t count on the dryers to dry your stuff, but it was an absolutely centralized station to sleep when we had so many stops along the way. Very much liked the hotel!

Pros:This was located in a great area. The highlights were the size of the room. I like how the toilet and shower were in separate spaces and there was lots of room to get ready. Easy to get to the station and lots of things around us. Enjoyed the room amenities. Shampoo, lotion, face wash, toothbrush/paste. The fridge and freezer were a good size. Cons: smells like smoke in the whole building, the breakfast is not great tasting, the elevators are extremely hot (in July), no luggage forwarding ( that’s my own fault for not researching enough when booking) luggage forwarding is a game changer. The bed was very uncomfortable. A small detail, but inconvenient was that we had to order ice to the room instead of having the ability to get it when needed. This place is definitely dated and could use a refresh.
