3-Star Hotels in Okayama Prefecture, Japan

The rooms are spacious and the location is excellent. This is my go-to hotel every time I visit, offering great value for money. It's also very close and convenient to the Bikan Historical Quarter. I highly recommend it if you're planning to stay a night in Kurashiki.

Great hotel! Big room and very clean. The complimentary drinks on the 11th floor was a nice touch. Close to the kurashiki train station

Might be the worst hotel i've been to in Japan in terms of cleanliness and soundproofing (latter is actually non existent - you'll hear people talking and watching TV) - but the price was close to being free and location is extremely convenient. I won't chose this hotel next time, but if you sleep well and need a place to crush for a night - it's ok

Facilities: The room was quite spacious; we could lay down two 30-inch suitcases flat, and there was plenty of room for a 24-inch one on the luggage rack. On our floor, there was a microwave, disposable chopsticks, and an ice machine. The shower had great water pressure, and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. It was fully equipped, and the toiletries were POLA. Hygiene: Overall, it was quite clean, though there was a bit of dust on the windowsill, probably because it was hidden by the table and curtains. Environment: The location is very convenient. There's a Matsumoto Kiyoshi downstairs and a Lawson directly across the street. Kani Doraku is also very close, and it's only a 10-minute walk to the Shinkansen. Service: Excellent. The front desk provided complimentary amenities and consumables.

The hotel is a bit of a walk from Kurashiki Station, and navigating the cobblestone paths through the scenic area can be quite tiring with luggage. On our return, we had the hotel arrange a taxi, which cost 1200 JPY. The hotel grounds are beautiful, and its location right in the Bikan Historical Quarter makes shopping incredibly convenient. Rooms are clean and quite modern. Just be aware that if you select the 'Do Not Disturb' option, towels will not be replaced. The breakfast restaurant offers an elegant setting, primarily serving Japanese cuisine, and you can even take coffee to go after your meal. Overall, it's a very high-quality hotel.

Parking was a little confusing. The entrance is not very obvious. It is an open space parking which you need to pay at the machine with exact change at the point of writing (validate the parking ticket at the reception to enjoy discount). 850 yen per day. I guess driving is not encouraged because it is located at the JR station. Walking distance to the different shopping areas. Room is small but clean.

Excellent location, very close to the scenic district. Upon receiving the key at check-in time, I went to my room only to be told that ”the room cleaning wasn't finished yet,” so I waited outside for a while. While it's understandable that the cleaning wasn't finished, it was a little disappointing that this wasn't communicated to the front desk. The room itself was clean and quiet, no problems there. The complimentary dinner and breakfast had a safe menu, but the salad bar made it quite satisfying.

It was a great location for traveling by car. Also, the building had just been renovated, so it was in good condition. However, there is only one smoking floor, and the smoking area is outside, so smokers may have to be a little more patient.

This was my second time staying at Abest Grande Hotel, and once again, the experience was excellent. The service is extremely good — all staff are very polite, welcoming, and always greet guests with a genuine smile. We were offered a welcome drink upon arrival, which was a very nice touch. The staff were also very helpful in calling a restaurant on our behalf to assist with making a reservation, which we truly appreciated. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, providing a relaxing environment after a long day. The location is also very convenient, with easy access to nearby transportation, restaurants, and shopping areas, making it a great base for exploring the city. Overall, the hospitality made us feel very comfortable and well taken care of throughout the stay. I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit.

Both the location and the room size of the hotel are good. Staff were accommodating and efficient. My friend enjoyed the onsen and we had a good stay in the hotel.
