"Best VIEW hotel (affordable price) so far as I tried many hotel in Japan before.
Room quite small, wifi on my room not stabil and my lamp turn off twice without no one touching anything. It still fine tho. Abundantly amenities it was amazing! If you come to Himeji, I will recommend this hotel!
It only straight from HIMEJI station and easy to find food nearby!
Ps : my room space a bit weird. Hard to put 2 small cabin luggage. I hope only my room have this matter."
"We were a family of three traveling to Himeji and stayed for three nights. We initially booked a Hollywood twin room, but found it wasn't suitable upon entering. After discussing it with the hotel staff, we were able to switch to a 27-square-meter standard room, which we were very happy with. The staff were extremely helpful and kept bowing. What we liked most about this hotel was its location. Looking at Google Maps, there are about 50 restaurants within a 1km radius, and it's only about a 5-minute walk from Himeji Station. In short, the location is unbeatable. It's also very convenient to get to Engyo-ji Temple; one bus takes you directly to the final stop. Oh, and a special mention for breakfast – 800 yen for children and 1800 yen for adults. It's definitely worth trying!"
"Stayed in this chain of hotels before. As usual, service is impeccable. Monterey Himeji is ideally located, near train station, shopping and food joints. It is also quite close to Himeji castle as well. For those who drive, there is a private car park and there are staff stationed to help direct parking. Although the hotel is connected to the adjacent shopping mall, security and privacy is good - away from the hustle and bustle of crowds."
"Breakfast buffet ( included in the hotel price) is very delicious with many varieties, especially freshly squeezed fruit, vegetable juice, fruits like apples, pineapples, mangoes which were not available in my previous hotel at Toyoko Inn at Fukuyama.
However, my only problem was my knee issue ( chronic joints pain) as it was a bit difficult due to pain to get onto the elevated bathroom in the room."
"The Ultimate Budget Hack in Himeji! 🇯🇵 Free Breakfast + Free Dinner at Himeji Station Universal Hotel (South Exit)
Looking for a place to stay that’s easy on the wallet but big on perks? If you’re visiting the ”White Heron” Castle or using Himeji as your travel hub, this hotel is a total game-changer!
✨ Why we love this spot:
Prime Location: Literally a 1-2 minute walk from the JR Himeji Station (South Exit). Perfect for those with heavy luggage or late-night arrivals.
Double Free Meals: This is the best part—your stay includes both Free Breakfast and Free Dinner! It’s the perfect way to fuel up before sightseeing and save on your daily budget.
Relaxation Time: After a long day of walking, you can hit the Public Bath and Sauna (separate for men and women) to recharge.
Unbeatable Value: One of the most affordable Business Hotels in the area without sacrificing essential amenities.
📍 Location: Himeji Station Universal Hotel (South Exit)
🚆 Access: 100m from JR Himeji Station (South Exit)"
"Hotel has the usual amenities at the reception, one will need to take the night gown from the level 1 cabinet. The hotel provide home cooked breakfast which was quite tasty. Not sure if the slippers are clean as they were not in any packaging. Overall good value to price ratio."
"Excellent location just outside Himeji train station. Quiet rooms with comfortable beds. The room was little on the warm side during my Dec/Jan stays."
"Love the location, near JR stations with easy access to eateries and shopping. Although the hotel doesn’t has it own parking, it has plenty of coin parking nearby and price is reasonable with max 800 / 900 jpy for 24 hours (hotel website provides recommended coin parking area for reference). Bed is very comfy. Only negative point is that the room is a bit narrow with 3 beds. Other than that, it’s perfect for my family of 4 (with one sharing existing bed)."
"First time staying at a Dormy hotel inn and super impressed with the level of hospitality for the price!
1. Public onsen and sauna are available on the top floor. Gender segregated with both indoor and outdoor (rotenburo) sections and the usual amenities. Only the sauna is closed overnight, the onsen remains open. Washing machine and dryer are available on 12F too. The washing machine is free, the dryer is not.
2. Free refreshment once you're done with your onsen. Ice cream at night and probiotic drink in the morning.
3. Free serving of ramen (yonakisoba) at night from 21:30-23:00. Head over to the restaurant at 2F.
4. Breakfast buffet is available and it was honestly quite decent for the price.
Would stay at Dormy again if I return to Japan 😊"
"This was the accommodation I chose to visit Himeji Castle.
The facilities were clean, and each bedroom had a TV, so I could even watch Japanese programs.
There was also a co-working space available, and both the accommodation and the co-working area had manga that you could freely read.
It’s only about a 5-minute walk from the station, which is very convenient, and about 5 minutes by bus to Himeji Castle.
I also visited Kokoen Garden next to the castle, and during the spring season, it’s open at night as well—so after enjoying the night view, I could easily return to the accommodation.
히메지 성을 보러 가기 위해 선택한 숙소였어요
시설은 깨끗하고 침실마다 TV도 있어 일본 방송도 볼 수 있었어요
코워킹 공간도 이용할 수 있었고, 숙소와 코워킹 공간에는 만화책도 있어서 자유롭게 볼 수 있어요
역에서 걸어서 5분거리로 엄청 가깝고 히메지 성과는 버스로 5분 거리에요 히메지 성 옆 코코엔(일본정원)도 구경하고 요즘 봄 시즌에는 야간 개장도 해서 관람 후 숙소로 편하게 도착할 수 있었어요"

Great
GGuest UserRoom is small. Stayed one night and over the weekend hence the room rate was high. Also it coincided with the marathon. There was free parking which was one of the reasons I chose this hotel. The hotel staff are not very conversant in English and it is not near the city centre. There was however a very big supermarket nearby where we could pick foodstuff for our journey up north. Came back to Himeji a week later and this time I stayed at a hotel located in the city centre where there are a lot of parking around it.
SSunYCWe stayed at this hotel for three days and were very satisfied. The breakfast had slight variations each day, offering local specialties, and there was a delicious coffee machine available at all times. In the evenings, they even provided free alcoholic beverages and ochazuke (rice with tea/broth), which was absolutely perfect for the price. The hotel is also very close to the station; you can reach the Shinkansen platform in under 5 minutes if you're not carrying heavy luggage. If I had to pick a flaw, it would be great if the hairdryer in the room had a stronger airflow.
GGuest UserThe hostess is very kind. She asked me to introduce a restaurant nearby and go to table tennis in the evening. There are no Koreans, and there are almost many American guests in Europe. It's very far from the station, but it's very close to Himeji Castle.
GGuest UserLocation is really close to train station which I like. Lots of food options around. Himeji castle is a 20 minute walk but you can opt to take a bus if you have walking issues.
The bathroom and toilet is separated. Towels and amenities such as soap, shampoo, toothbrush, and moisturizing lotion are provided.
To be honest we didn't know how to operate the bath pool/jacuzzi, but it was already full when we got there so it was nice. There's a windowsill which allows you to peek inside the soaking area so that was funny. If you're with your spouse it wouldn't matter though.
DDuludulupaopaoIt was pretty good. The front desk staff were very friendly. The only minor issue was the small room size, but otherwise, no problems. Having a washing machine was quite convenient.
IIrene SheApart from the water supply issue in the room, the rest are perfect. The breakfast was good, and the night views from the hotel was spectacular. The water supply in the room was too slow, and I had to go to the public bathroom for brushing teeth. The staff offered to upgrade us to another room, but we don't like the 2 single beds room so we decided to stay in the one King bedroom that we reserved.
GGuest UserThe hotel was comfortable, with stunning field views. The stargazing hot spring bath was amazing; you could actually see so many stars!
Breakfast and dinner were decent, but not particularly amazing. Many staff members were young, and most of the front desk staff could communicate in English. The hotel's clientele consisted mostly of families traveling with children. There was a separate section for dogs.
The hotel had many public spaces and facilities, such as a complimentary drink bar, a snack bar, and a self-service ramen shop in the evening. The souvenir shop was also quite nice. I had a very pleasant two-day stay here.
JJonathan Tak ShingMy wife and I stayed at a Japanese-Style Room with Japanese Cypress Open-Air Bath on the Terrace. The hotel has English speaking staff who was very friendly and helpful. The dinner and breakfast were amazing, and the servers Mr Shiraiwa and Ms Yamaguchi provided excellent services. This is one of the best onsen ryokans we have experienced, and we look forward to returning.
ZZhaowenIt is a little far from Himeji station, so is it inconvenient when the weather is bad? However, there are convenience stores and McDonald's nearby, so it is convenient. The facilities are aging, but other surrounding hotels are similar, and I didn't use the large communal bath or free food and drink this time, but it's a good deal, so I definitely want you to use it. orz
GGuest UserThe building was extremely old and poorly lit; the reception area, the guest rooms everything felt dim and gloomy. The room slippers were not disposable, which I found unhygienic, so I couldn't bring myself to wear them. Since my room was located right near the elevator, I could clearly hear the sounds of people walking in the hallway; furthermore, even while inside my room, the conversations from neighboring guest rooms were so loud that I couldn't get any sleep at night.
