Cheap Hotels in Okayama City

"Clean, quiet (at least at 8th floor on weekdays) with many amenities available near the elevator and in the room. The cleaning team was very kind to tidy up our stuff better than how we left in the morning. The staff at the reception was very helpful as well."

"This hotel is genuinely great. There's a dedicated passage directly from the JR station to the hotel, so you don't even need an umbrella if it's raining. Dining is incredibly convenient too; there are all sorts of restaurants in the commercial area right downstairs, from ramen to coffee. Everything is perfect!"

"The staff I came came across were all very polite and had welcoming smiles, no matter at the reception desk or the restaurant on 20/F. I enjoyed my stay here, but it felt comparable to the 3 star hotels, just slightly better especially thanks to the fabulous breakfast and location of breakfast…If hotels have half stars, i would think it’s’more of a 3.5 star hotel instead of a 4. I have a few suggestions which the hotel can look into to improve in the future. 3 Things to improve on: 1) I picked this hotel because I read other reviews saying the hotel is connected to a bridge from the Okayama station. This is true but unfortunately there were no signs in the station to guide travellers unlike another hotel like Granvia. Google suggested that I look for the west exit which I did, but I ended up being at the ground level hence had to bring big suitcase all the stairs…then I spotted the bridge and ANA crowne plaza from the street 2) cleanliness can be improved. There’s a UCC drip coffee machine in the room. I don’t drink coffee, and the box for the drip coffee selection was refilled. However I spotted a used capsule on the floor near the wall. The bin was not blocking the view, so the cleaners could’ve easily spotted the rubbish if they had been a little more careful and looked under the table when they have to clear out the rubbish bin anyway. 3) I sent a message to the hotel via TRIP.com. The message wasn’t replied promptly, as in within a few hours. Ultimately it didn’t matter anymore, I arrived at the hotel before somebody managed to reply me. Maybe it’s the system that’s problematic which may have caused a lag? Or staff only look at mails/messages when not too busy at the front desk?"

"The hotel's front desk staff had a good service attitude, and it's very close to Okayama Castle and Korakuen Garden. However, during my stay, the air conditioning was under maintenance. Every time I manually turned on the heat, it would automatically shut off after about a minute, requiring me to manually restart it again. This led to me waking up cold in the morning. 😢"

"Parking was a little confusing. The entrance is not very obvious. It is an open space parking which you need to pay at the machine with exact change at the point of writing (validate the parking ticket at the reception to enjoy discount). 850 yen per day. I guess driving is not encouraged because it is located at the JR station. Walking distance to the different shopping areas. Room is small but clean."

"Location: It's about an 8-10 minute walk from Okayama Station. Taking the underground passage towards Takashimaya is more convenient as there's a direct elevator. If you walk along the food street, it might be a bit challenging with heavy luggage. There's a streetcar stop nearby; it's two stops to Okayama Castle, saving you about 10 minutes compared to walking the full 20 minutes. Service: Pretty good, luggage storage was fine. Facilities: The room was spacious, and the decor was distinctive. There were unique ornaments at each elevator entrance."

"The hotel room was huge, you could practically dance in it, haha! 😂 It's right next to the station, just take an escalator down to the mall, super convenient. It's a shame they only had smoking rooms left; it would have been perfect if I'd booked earlier and gotten a non-smoking one."

"This hotel boasts a superb location, within walking distance of Korakuen Garden and Okayama Castle, with rooms even offering direct city views. While the facilities are somewhat dated, they are well-equipped, providing a variety of shampoos and streaming TVs. The 12 PM check-out time and the underground passage directly connecting to the tram station are highly recommended; its functionality is unparalleled, and it offers exceptional value for money, making it a top choice for a relaxing trip."

"This was my second time staying at Abest Grande Hotel, and once again, the experience was excellent. The service is extremely good — all staff are very polite, welcoming, and always greet guests with a genuine smile. We were offered a welcome drink upon arrival, which was a very nice touch. The staff were also very helpful in calling a restaurant on our behalf to assist with making a reservation, which we truly appreciated. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, providing a relaxing environment after a long day. The location is also very convenient, with easy access to nearby transportation, restaurants, and shopping areas, making it a great base for exploring the city. Overall, the hospitality made us feel very comfortable and well taken care of throughout the stay. I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit."

"The main draw for me was the rooftop onsen; it’s not fancy but it is classic, which is good enough for me. A simple sauna, outdoor onsen, indoor one, cold plunge bath and a shower area. The room itself was compact but efficient and check in/out process was fairly simple. It’s about a 10 minute walk to the Okayama Shinkansen station so it was quite convenient to travel to other sites like Kurashiki Bikan"
