Kasaoka Kid friendly Vacations

An excellent hotel which is a very short walk from the main train station. A 7/11 convenience store is even closer to the hotel. Also close to the hotel are entrances to the shopping underpass ichi ban gai which also allows easy access to shopping centres such as Aeon without having to cross streets. The hotel itself has a large reception area with very helpful staff many of whom speak English. Breakfast is in a large room with plenty of seating, and has a very good breakfast buffet. Outside breakfast hours that room is used for free coffee/a rest area etc. Laundry and public bath on (from memory) 10th floor - I didn’t use the public bath myself but I did overhear that as is normal in Japan it’s not available to those with large tattoos. My room was clean, modern and comfortable. My only issue was that I booked one of the smaller size rooms and the mini fridge was too small for me (e.g. I couldn’t fit normal 500 ml bottles in the door tray). I also thought the desk was too close to the bed, as when sitting in the chair the chair back was right up against the bed. Room was otherwise perfectly functional and spotless - more than happy to stay in this hotel again although next time I’ll book the next room size up !

Overall very good experience, staff friendly and professional, convenient location and dining options available at hotel. Great breakfast.

The hotel room and amenities were super clean and the view from my room and the garden were spectacular. The only negative is that you have to take a taxi in and out of the hotel which is quite expensive.

This is my fifth stay at Granvia Okayama. Elegant, comfortable, and convenient. I asked for extra bath towels, and they were delivered within 5 minutes. I didn't opt for the hotel breakfast, since there are so many convenient and less expensive options in the station area.
