Excellent location & very convenient parking.
Response from Property: Dear Michell Wong,
Thank you very much for staying at Kurashiki Ivy Square Hotel, and we sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us.
We are pleased to hear that you found our location convenient. Our hotel is situated at the southern edge of the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, and from the west gate (rear entrance), guests can easily access the center of the district. Many of our guests have highly praised this ideal location.
Recently, we’ve seen an increase in guests arriving by car. Despite being located in the heart of a popular tourist area, our facility offers a spacious flat parking lot with a capacity of up to 120 vehicles. For our overnight guests, there is no need to worry about reservations or parking space limitations, making it a very convenient option.
If you have the opportunity to visit Kurashiki again, we would be delighted to welcome you back. Thank you once again for your kind review.

Best location and surrounding of the hotel is very beautiful and peaceful. Service is good although the room is quite small for two single beds. Easy short walk to attractions and parking fee is also reasonable

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.

Response from Property: Dear Annrin22, Thank you very much for staying at Kurashiki Ivy Square. We are very pleased that you and your family had a wonderful time during your stay. The family room you stayed in is 45 square meters and has four beds. It is a very popular room that is ideal for families as well as group trips. We are very glad that you had a relaxing stay. It seems that you took a walk around the area with your mother and also enjoyed the large public bath. Coffee time in the courtyard after breakfast is a special time that can only be experienced in this season when the ivy is beautiful. There is no greater joy than knowing that our hotel and services could enhance your trip during your short stay. We hope to spend many wonderful times with you in the future. We look forward to welcoming you again. Thank you very much.

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.

The hotel itself is a tourist attraction. There is a souvenir shop selling local specialties at a reasonable price. There is a bathing area. The counter staff can communicate in English. There is a parking lot opposite the gate and the entrance and exit are on the other side of the road.

I was traveling alone, so I booked the cheapest room, but there was no bathtub.
Luckily, there was a large bath, so I was very happy.
The old-fashioned building and friendly staff made my trip satisfying.
I also liked that I could buy Ohara admission tickets at a discounted price.

Response from Property: Hanayamachi Thank you very much for staying at Kurashiki Ivy Square Hotel this time. Also, thank you very much for your high evaluation and valuable comments. Our hotel was renovated from the first factory of Kurashiki Spinning, which was established in 1888, and has continued to this day since it was renovated into a hotel in 1974. The brick exterior and the pillars and beams used at the time were preserved and reused as much as possible. It is characterized by a very charming building surrounded by red bricks and ivy. The public bathhouse was newly renovated and opened in February 2019, and each has three bathtubs, creating a space where you can relax comfortably. If you have another chance to visit Kurashiki, please be sure to stay at Kurashiki Ivy Square Hotel. All of our staff members are sincerely waiting for you. Kurashiki Ivy Square Hotel Dream

The hotel is in the beautiful area and is super convenient. The place is clean. The room for 2 people is OK. The bed is comfortable enough. There is a bath in the hotel. The breakfast is rich and there are many kinds of food.
The staff in the lobby were very hospitable and helped us take a taxi to eat out. The hotel garden scenery was so relaxing. As soon as you go out, you will find food, shopping and a boat to ride in a beautiful place. The photos are excellent. I will definitely stay here again next time.
