Best Hotels near Washuzan Highland, Kurashiki

We stayed here for three nights and the location is great as you can walk to the Bihan historical area, as well as the JR station and Mitsue Outlet Mall which are around 750 m away. There are a myriad of eateries in the area, from izakaya to ramen, and a tonkatsu restaurant with a Michelin star. The hotel provides amenities such as yukata, dental and shaving kits. There is also a high tea with some sweets and some savouries. Breakfast is included in the price and you collect the boxes from the lobby. It was similar on all three days and included cold sandwiches and salads. If you want coffee you need to buy a hotel tumbler for 1000 yen, after which hot drinks are free flow. Staff were friendly, particularly the younger ones wearing the blue shirts, such as Ms Pek from Korea and the young Indian man. The exception was the female floor manager in black suit, who was effusive to locals but did not seem to know how to deal with foreigners. Overall, it was a good hotel stay.

First of all, access to convenience stores, supermarkets, beauty districts and restaurants is very good from the station. The hotel is still new and the view at breakfast is also seasonal and weather-dependent, but it is very good. I'm glad that coffee and tea can be freely drunk in the lounge on the 11th floor from check-in to 24:00. There are 6 washing places in the public bath. So it might be a little crowded during the sightseeing season. I felt that there were few elevators for the number of rooms. The room is a little larger than a business hotel, but you can open a large suitcase and put it under the bed. I didn't feel narrow because I was.

Location is best very close to station (1min by walk) and AEON Mall and other places are connected underground so don’t have to worry even if it is raining. I forgot to bring umbrella so worried to go to AEON Mall from there but underground way was the best. Breakfast cost you 3000 JPY might be slightly expensive but awesome have variety of choice.

The sound of cleaning, the opening and closing of the doors, the windows, the footsteps of the staff, and the conversation are quite unconsidered. Some guests stay in the guest room for consecutive nights, so I thought it was necessary to take more consideration. It was summer vacation and the passage Because of the straight structure, children dash. This also sounds quite in the guest room. I think it's difficult, but I'd appreciate it if I could take measures. I feel old in facilities such as TV, but it will be improved in the future. I hope that you will. Finally, the front desk 々 is very grateful for the quick, polite and kindness.

가성비 좋아요~ 무엇보다 신축 호텔이여서 시설,청결도 좋고 넓적하여 아주 편했어요. 직원분들이 친절하고주변관광 정보도 많이 알려주어 너무 좋았어요! 호텔은 구라시키역에서 1분 거리. 백화점, 상점, 미관지구 도보가능한 거리. 호텔 주차장이 없지만 인근 주차장이 많아 불편함이 없었어요. 조식은 특별하게 계약카페에서 제공되는 식이어서 현지카페도 가고 길거리도 구경하고 좋은 경험이었어요. (로비에 베이글 커피정도는 있어요) 환경을 생각하여 객실 내 어메니티는 최소로 줄이고 칫솔이 필요하시면 카운터에서 달라고 하시면 되요. 다음에 또 간다면 재방분 할 의사 무조건 있습니다. Great deal! It was a brand new hotel. The facilities are modern and quite spacious for Japan. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Very conveniently located right next to Kurashiki station(1 minute walk). Department stores, shops and Kurashiki Bikan historical quarter are within walking distance. There is no parking lot in the hotel, but there were many parking lots nearby, so there was no inconvenience. Breakfast was specially provided at the contract cafe, so it was a great experience to go to the local cafe and to see the streets. Considering the environment, there are minimized amenity in your room. Of course you can ask for if you need a toothbrush etc. I was most comfortable and would certainly stay again.

Stayed on the first Saturday of a three-day weekend. In the morning, I planned to visit the Bikan Historical Quarter and stayed overnight without meals. However, the welcome drink peach juice was delicious, as well as the lactic acid bacteria drink and ice cream after the bath, and the free night naki soba from 9:30pm. Check-in was around 16:00, so we parked in the hotel's garage at the back and took a walk to explore the Bikan Historical Quarter. I like the hot springs. The service was perfect.

Great location. A block away from the tourist area but far enough away to be away from the noise. Restaurants and convenience stores are a couple-minute walk away. This is obviously a hotel designed in the 80s with the large tall lobby and all the room doors facing the open air. You have the glass elevator and those in the lobby can people watch going up and down. Yes, the furnishings are a tad dated but well-maintained. We were amazed at the size of the room. The size was more like North American size than Japanese size. The bathroom and closet area ALONE could be the same size as some business hotel rooms I've been to in Japan. The Internet was fast. No problems with Netflix. The amenities were decent. If you need anything more, you can replenish in the lobby. Our room package included breakfast. It was decent enough. (Separate review) We got the parking space right beside the front doors, make sure you inform the front desk of your license plate. They do monitor. While I doubt we will come back to Kurashiki if I were, we would choose this hotel again.

This hotel is set in a great location of Okayama, close to the shoutengai, Okayama castle and the JR station with lots of choice for food close by. Staff friendly and helpful. Would not recommend to use their car park or listen to the hotels advice on parking, we were quoted 2700¥ for a nights parking, when we took a look in the area we found parking for 900¥ for 24 hours. Room very nice if a little dated, lack of public ofuro was a little sad but what else to expect at this price. Bathroom a little small, but definitely ok again for the price. No breakfast offered or provided, so can’t really give any advice on this. However there is an amazing cafe around the corner that sells freshly made croissants 🥐 

My husband and I chose the Uno Hotel because we wanted easy access to the art islands in the Seto Inland Sea. Hotel is a 3 or 4 minute easy walk to Uno Port which is the gateway to those islands. And ferry ride only about 15 minutes one-way. We expected the art islands to be great but this is a new hotel so we took a chance. Wow, what a wonderful experience on every level; the room, hotel team, restaurant, and the food was exceptional. The Uno Hotel is also within a 1 minute walk to a building which houses Onsen (hot springs baths and spa) and a Japanese restaurant, which they also own. (We did not have time to explore those but heard great things.) I could rave about the restaurant in the hotel called “Bluno” for days….we enjoyed breakfasts and dinners there - each superb with great attention-to-detail. A special treat was meeting restaurant manager Mr. Aran Teruo Pascual. He was kind, professional and personally makes one want to return in addition to the food and contemporary bright setting. The front desk team is warm, welcoming and attentive. When making a reservation I noticed there are multiple hotels or inns that have the name “Uno” in it so my suggestion is that you note that it is the Uno Hotel. I recommend higher floor on the water side, the hotel is not on the water, but lovely view. We look forward to returning.
