The hotel is nice and the room was clean (except for the long black hair left all over floor in the bathroom). The breakfast is just a sandwich box, there is no coffee (just instant coffee). I would expect better.
The staff is not accommodating and never seems to be in a good mood. I was also asked several times to pre-check online. After the third email reminder, I tried and the system didn’t let me complete it. But you can be sure that when I showed up at the reception that is the first thing they asked. Why don’t you have a QR code?
Also, they charge you for lockers. I have never been in an hotel where luggage storage wasn’t complementary.
The experience could be different if they improve a few things.
5 starts hotel, staff are helpful and welcomed. The location is very good, near the train station, aeon mall and big camera is within 5 mins walkable
distance. The hotel is aged but well maintained. They provide parking at the basement of the hotel. We had a good stay there.
The staff at the front desk were welcoming and attentive, and communication was seamless. The location is excellent, surrounded by numerous commercial areas, making it incredibly convenient for transportation. The hotel boasts a quiet ambiance and comprehensive, well-maintained facilities.
Outstanding service, all the staffs are very friendly and helpful, the food, including bar drink and breakfast are very delicious, great location, will come back if visit Okayama again
The location is excellent, easily accessible via an underpass. The surrounding area is lively, offering plenty of convenient dining and shopping options. The staff were exceptionally friendly. Breakfast featured a good variety and was quite delicious. A nice bonus was the complimentary ice cream available after enjoying the hot spring.
I previously stayed at Hotel JAL City Kokura and was quite impressed with JR West's hotels, so I booked a room at their Okayama location directly. After getting off the Shinkansen, I headed in the opposite direction of Kokura Castle (I think it was the Sports Park exit, I've forgotten a bit, but definitely the opposite direction). Once I saw GU, I took the elevator straight up to the lobby to check in. Since I was going to Kurashiki, I dropped off my luggage at the front desk beforehand. I returned in the evening to check in. The room was newer than the one in Kokura, but significantly smaller. It takes about half an hour to walk from the hotel to Okayama Castle; basically, you just walk straight down Momotaro Avenue from the station. I took the tram back. Here, you can pick up toiletries in the lobby, but no drinking water is provided in the room. This wasn't a big issue though, as there are several convenience stores and small supermarkets downstairs, and if you walk a bit further, you can even explore Aeon and Takashimaya.
Had good dinner , dinner last order at 830pm with 2 sets of choices , breakfast start at 630am buffet style, coffee machine out of order, female onsen need to get key from reception counter and use another lift to go up , washing machine is 300 yen and dryer 100yen , able to communicate with simple English. Near to Aeon mall. Okayama JR take East exit
We stayed in a family room with my elderly mother, and although there were four beds, there was a living area and the space was spacious, so we were able to enjoy ourselves in the room.
My mother also broke her leg a few months ago and was walking with a cane, so we asked in advance if we could borrow a wheelchair and were able to borrow one from check-in to check-out. Thanks to this, we were able to stroll around Kurashiki's beautiful streets and eat delicious sweets, which was very appreciated.
The large public bath was also flat and easy for my elderly mother to use, and it felt good to be in a large public bath for the first time in a while, so we took a bath twice, once in the evening and once in the morning.
My younger sister had stayed at Ivy Square on a school trip a long time ago, so she also had a nostalgic feeling about it.
The plan also included breakfast, so we had breakfast, and there were Okayama specialties such as seared Spanish mackerel and mackerel sashimi lined up, so we enjoyed local gourmet food from the morning.
After the meal, we ordered some take-out coffee and sat on a bench in the courtyard, enjoying a delicious coffee moment surrounded by the ivy-covered historic building.
Although our stay was short, thanks to the thoughtfulness of the hotel staff, we were able to have a safe and enjoyable trip with my elderly mother.
Thank you very much.
I always stay here when I stay in Kurashiki.
The location is good near the Bikan District, and the size of this room is not desired in other hotels, there is a feeling of cleanliness, I love the atmosphere of the restaurant Hachimanzo, and I will stay again.
Although it is far from the station, it is a long-established hotel that can be used for meetings, gatherings, banquets, etc., and the service is very polite.
The breakfast was very luxurious, with tempura and omelettes prepared in the live kitchen.
Very Good

FFerfer8We are a family travelling with 3 kids so we drive a car, and factored in luggage space.
1) Vessel hotel has hands-down one of the best beds ever! We checked and realised it was a Simmons mattress so the beds really offered us deep & restful sleep!! Love this!
2) The carpark was right outside the hotel so it was super convenient not having to walk up & down diff storeys to take things from car. We returned to hotel ard 10pm on 1 night & there were no more parking lots! We’d have to park at a multi-storey building that was 12mins walk away, which wld have been v convenient.
3) The breakfast was yummy. We went in summer & enjoyed the Barazushi (Okayama special during festivals) & the rice was sweet, salty, flavourful, and delicious with prawn, eggs, eel, lotus roots (see pic). Really yummy! Try it
4) Hotel staff were very helpful! We asked for an extra luggage stand so we wldnt need to bend too low & they brought it immediately.
5) There’s a big supermarket just across the road with cheap groceries that we stocked up on for our road trip.
6) If you intend to drive, this is a highly recommend hotel in Kurashiki!! Wld stay here again! It was great!
SSiren500It's hard to describe...
1. The facilities are old. In addition to the two sockets on the table, there is one at the door of the toilet, and the main point is that you forget to take it away. They sell everything under the concept of environmental protection, water is 100, various vending machines, and toothbrushes and toothpaste are taken downstairs.
2. The bathroom bar is definitely cleaner than in China, maybe because it's old. Anyway, the table and bedspread look a bit uncomfortable. I ordered a big bed, and the bedspread made my butt itch after using it for a while
3. It's far away from Okayama, 20 minutes walk, mainly because the road is bumpy all the way there, it's really not friendly to pull a big suitcase. From the hotel to the nearby dining place is basically equivalent to walking back to the station. Even the convenience store is less than 10 minutes away, which is definitely not the distance to buy water in slippers and coats.
4. I spent a long time looking for the name when I checked in, and I met a wave of business meeting guests. Who said Japan is quiet?
If it's a good place, it includes breakfast, and the variety is quite rich. Early in the morning, curry rice, French bread and coffee...

TTiffany Ann BooneYou really could not ask for more. The shared space view is exactly the needed wind-down after crazy Kyoto crowds. It is conveniently across the street from the train station and ferries and adjacent to supermarkets, cafes and conbinis. The restaurant at the hotel is also very excellent. Staff are friendly and helpful and the amenities are top shelf. You also get Onsen access as a guest. It was a bit dark and stuffy in the cabin but if you are in a proper room there should be no issues. Have fun exploring Uno and the islands!

FFilm_iroThank you for this time.
The front staff are kind and polite.
It was a good impression.
Shops and pubs that you want to go to near the station
That area is convenient.
As soon as you open the door of the guest room, there is only a bed space.
I feel as safe as if I was sleeping in a closet.
I really appreciate this price just for sleeping.
Surrounding sounds can be heard even if they are small.
The downside is that I can't help but be careful.
It may not be possible due to the structure.
The shower room is also clean
I had a good time using it.
Once you understand what it is
I was convinced that it was okay for this price.
I will use it again.
thank you very much.

HHirokoAlthough I was leaving early in the morning and was unable to use the breakfast service, I was very satisfied with the other services.
It is close to the station and has ample parking.
I don't like hotel futons, but they provided a blanket rental service and I was able to sleep comfortably.
I would like to use it again.
