The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Kurashiki, making it a perfect base to explore the area. The rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean, providing a comfortable stay. The service was exceptional with extremely kind and helpful staff. The dining experience was wonderful, especially the seriously yummy Pork Belly dish. However, the surroundings are a bit depressing, lacking English information on nearby eateries. Despite this downside, the hotel offers great value for money.
