Top Kodama Shrine Hotel Reviews

KOKO HOTEL Himeji Castle

10/10 Excellent

"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."

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Himeji

10/10 Excellent

"Tout était parfait de l’accueil au départ."

Hotel Monterey Himeji

Himeji Station Universal Hotel South Exit

10/10 Excellent

"ビジネスホテル初めてでしたけど全部のことでいい経験になってくれました。"

HOTEL LiVEMAX PREMIUM Himejieki-Minami

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, very spacious, helpful staff, and clean room!"

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)"

Kobe PortTower Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Bon emplacement, chambre typique et très confortable. Excellent service."

Seaside Hotel Maiko Villa Kobe

10/10 Excellent

"The onsen is really nice! This hotel is ideal spot to go to Awaji Island, Himeji & Kobe."
