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.
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.
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.
Nice 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.
Absolutely delighted with my stay at this hotel!
First off, I received a complimentary upgrade to a spacious 32 sqm room.
What's more, the included travel pass offered a choice of three different perks, which proved to be incredibly handy.
The hotel's location is also extremely convenient, with direct access to the JR station directly from the second floor.
Japanese-style hotel, the location is a minute walk from Inohara Station. The hotel is very exquisite and the service is very intimate, but it seems that it is not a daily cleaning, but if there is a need, the service staff will provide it as much as possible. During the period, the door lock was not easy to use. I told the service staff that I would find someone to repair it the next day.
Outstanding service, all the staffs are very friendly and helpful, the food, including bar drink and breakfast are very delicious, great location, will come back if visit Okayama again
I think this is a very good value hotel, and the location is much better than I expected. You can take a direct bus from Okayama Station. The hotel also has a complete range of toiletries. Famous attractions like Korakuen Garden are only a few minutes away. It's definitely worth a visit.
The service attitude is very good, with staff who can speak basic English and fluent Mandarin. The free ramen and ice cream were delicious. The hot spring facilities are beautiful and very satisfactory. Moreover, it is very convenient to go to Kurashiki Amano. After checking into the hotel, you can meet all your needs by walking. The room has a view of the Kurashiki Bikan area, which is beautiful.
I always stay here when I stay in Kurashiki.
The location is good near the Bikan District, and the size of this room is not desired in other hotels, there is a feeling of cleanliness, I love the atmosphere of the restaurant Hachimanzo, and I will stay again.
Great

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...

GGuest UserHad good dinner , dinner last order at 830pm with 2 sets of choices , breakfast start at 630am buffet style, coffee machine out of order, female onsen need to get key from reception counter and use another lift to go up , washing machine is 300 yen and dryer 100yen , able to communicate with simple English. Near to Aeon mall. Okayama JR take East exit

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.

The location is excellent, surrounded by numerous commercial areas, making it incredibly convenient for transportation.

GGuest UserThe room is very small, but very clean and well-equipped. The room rate of less than 400 also includes breakfast, which is a simple Japanese breakfast and tastes better. The hotel provides toiletries, which can be picked up on the ground floor. There is also a washing machine and dryer. It takes 5-6 minutes to walk to the JR station. Except for the faint sound of trains outside, it is almost perfect and a very good stay experience.
GGuest UserThis time I stayed with my girlfriend. The stay experience was great and the scenery was great.
The only downside is that the food nearby is very crowded and may be far away. Convenience stores are a bit far away
But the restaurant itself is of high quality and the price is very cheap
I was going there to relax.
The experience was so good that I want to use the app to book it for the next day
But my girlfriend is Japanese and might be shy, so we didn't continue to book. At this price, you can only stay in a business hotel in the city.
I will go to such a good hotel again if I have the chance.
Also, when the hotel waiter was communicating with my girlfriend, he told her that I was her husband, which was quite cool.
