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.
This hotel exceeded our expectations. Traveling with our 8-year-old daughter, we were provided with a triple room. Its location is exceptionally convenient, with a dedicated walkway connecting directly to Okayama Station. The room itself was very spacious. We would have loved to try the breakfast, but as we had an early train to Takamatsu the next morning, we couldn't book it. From the smooth check-in process, it was clear this was a well-established, high-star hotel that truly prides itself on its standards.
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.
Facilities: Very well maintained.
Cleanliness: Spotless.
Environment: A 5-minute walk from Okayama Station, surrounded by shops and Izakayas (Japanese pubs).
Service: Very friendly and welcoming.
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
Via Inn Okayama was our 6th hotel on this journey, and its location honestly couldn’t have been better. Being directly connected to Okayama Station made everything very convenient — from getting around to grabbing daily necessities. There were even some supermarkets inside the station, which were super handy.
The lobby was on the 5th floor and already set the mood, with an amazing view overlooking the station and the city.
Our room was simple and comfortable, featuring a small double bed, a desk by the window, a chair, an air purifier, and a fairly new TV with YouTube and Netflix access — perfect for relaxing after a long day.
Space was a little tight when we opened our luggage, but it wasn’t a big issue. Even though the bathroom wasn’t very spacious, it still provided enough room to sit comfortably on the toilet, which we appreciated.
The real highlight was the view — an unblocked cityscape right from the room that made both mornings and nights extra special.
Convenient, comfortable, and memorable — Via Inn Okayama was a great stay right in the heart of the city.
Seeing that the price included breakfast and dinner, I booked it despite the old facilities. I had planned to stay for three days, but it was impossible to find a non-smoking twin room for the weekend, so I had to give up and book two separate nights instead. We checked in at 8:15 PM and made it in time for dinner. My friend and I each chose a set meal, and the curry rice was delicious. Picture 5 shows the breakfast, which was filling enough.
There's a small hot spring bath available. Remember to bring your own towel. You'll need to get the key from the front desk. For women, follow the signs past the restaurant to the right (opposite the laundry room) where there's an elevator to the second floor.
Overall, it's great value for money, so who cares about minor imperfections?
The only slight issue was that the restaurant floor was a bit greasy and sticky.
This is a special hotel!
Because it is a tourist attraction!
So the location is first-rate, close to the entire tourist area, and within walking distance to Kurashiki Train Station. It takes less than 10 minutes by taxi with luggage.
The room was newly renovated and everything was good, except that it was a twin room and the room was a bit narrow, so it felt very cramped to move around and put luggage. But the toilet, washbasin, bathroom, space is very spacious, there is wifi but there is no Youtube, Netflix on the TV, don't be misled by the remote control.
Another type of king-size bed room is the one where the washbasin and bathroom are connected together, but the room feels larger and is more convenient.
The breakfast is very rich and the food is of high quality. I recommend the milk and hand-made tofu.
Did not have dinner in the hotel, so cannot comment on that.
Also, this is a really large public bath, with a sento feel, not a hot spring.
It is very suitable for those who like slow-paced sightseeing in this area.
We stayed in a deluxe corner double room for one night. There was nothing to block the view in the corner room on the 11th floor and the view was good. The room was too large to see the large TV. King size beds, furniture and lights are also nice. Air purifier, hair dryer, room clothes and bathrobe, wash towels, 2 types of face towels, bath towels, foot wipe mat are prepared, shampoo conditioner body soap The soap soap soap bath oil soap skin care is also very substantial. The bathtub, toilet, shower, and washroom are all independent, and the shower in the shower room is an ordinary shower in addition to the fixed type of upper, upper, lower, upper, left, and lower left. I used Kishinagora. Toothbrushes and room clothes for children are also prepared and cute! I made a plan with breakfast, but I was so satisfied with the menu lineup that I couldn't eat lunch. It was a short walk to the Bikan Historical Quarter, so I extended my legs twice, but there were no tourists in the early morning of 6:00 and I enjoyed the scenery of Qing 々. It is a 10-minute walk from Kurashiki Station, a 5-minute walk to Bikan Historical Quarter, and a 2-minute walk to Family Mart. It is an inn that I want to repeat.
For cars that didn't fit in the hotel parking lot, there was a parking lot next door.
There was a shopping mall across the street, which was very convenient (*´∀`*)
The room was clean and comfortable, but the fact that the bed sheets weren't zippered was a bit of a concern since I was staying for several nights.
The amenities were excellent and very helpful.
I was able to use various shampoos and conditioners, and I felt like I was able to recover from the fatigue of my business trip.
Breakfast was delicious ^_^
Please see the photos I've included.
Very Good

OOlmerNice cozy hotel with a lot of benefits but some space for improvement. Breakfast is okayish, matress is fine, location couldn't be better.
Other positives:
Attentive staff, great lounge on the roof floor with tea and coffee available, laundry with congestion monitoring, someone will appreciate local alcohol tasting. The lighting in the room is soft. Great japanese robes in the room!
Negatives:
-Youtube in TV constantly freezes
-Opening hours of most facilities are upsetting. Don't understand why you can't access this facilities most of the day.
Why you can't play pool or workout in the gym until 3 p.m.?
-Female onsen is worse, than men's. How so? No sauna, no Dyson fans for women. And can you please place any type of clock in onsen. If you ask people to leave at midnight, they better know how long until midnight.
-Only three bicycles for rent and they are not well maintained, have a lot of rust, make squeaking noises and so on.
-Sadly, the gym does not deliver. Can you please at least add some more heavy dumbells and add a pull up rack.
Overall it was a pleasant stay. I really wish they would fix these minor issues.
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...

JJdadublinGreat location, next to train station and ferry terminals. Very welcoming and helpful reception staff. I stayed in a cabin, and it was fine for an overnight stop. The bed was comfortable. The common area has a microwave, fridge, kettles, a selection of teas that you can make in a pot, bottled water and complementary treats. The hotel offered a free voucher for a nearby onsen, which looked lovely, but I did not visit it. The hotel also stored my luggage after checkout while I visited Naoshima. It's a little pricey for a cabin, but I was very happy with my stay.

ままっそーKEIRIN HOTEL 10 by Onkochishin @ Tamano Keirin Velodrome
I stayed for three nights, specifically to coincide with the Summer Night Festival GII night races.
This 8-story hotel is uniquely situated right at the first corner of the Tamano Keirin Velodrome. Its exterior is brightly colored, reminiscent of Keirin uniforms.
During race events, floors 3 to 6 serve as dormitories for the athletes, while floors 7 and 8 are dedicated to guest rooms.
Without a doubt, the ability to watch Keirin races directly from your guest room's terrace is an unparalleled experience! And when it's a GII race featuring star athletes, the excitement level is truly off the charts!
Looking straight down from the terrace, you get a unique, bird's-eye perspective of the athletes as they navigate the first corner.
Furthermore, staying in the very same building as the athlete dorms makes this a one-of-a-kind hotel – a true dream come true for any Keirin enthusiast.
Even the room amenities, such as slippers and hangers, are thoughtfully designed with Keirin and bicycle motifs, adding to the overall thrill.
Access to the velodrome is incredibly convenient: simply take the hotel elevator down to the 2nd floor, follow the passage, and it leads directly to the velodrome's FORQ restaurant. Passing through the restaurant takes you straight into the velodrome itself.
This is an absolute must-stay hotel for any Keirin fan!
KKaiara2597The location is nice. Although, I got a smaller room than I saw in the pictures, I couldn’t stand up straight because the roof was so low. Also, there was a short went to another room and I had to craft a curtain because the light from the other room shined straight on my face and you can’t sleep the other way around because there’s not enough room. Furthermore, even though I left my keys for the cleaners, they just left the clean towels and sheets outside my room and told me to do it and the key was left in my door. But the showers and toilets was nice and you have privacy which is nice.
