Very convenient location and affordable!”

The rooms are a typical size for a business hotel so I would not recommend if you have a large suitcase or are staying for many nights. Other than that, the rooms are clean and very nice especially for such an affordable price. The hotel itself is in a great location as well. It's just across the street from the station and within walking distance of Okayama City's biggest attraction, kurashiki bikan historical quarter (about a 10 minutes walk). This is a great place to stay for 1 or 2 nights!

Great Location!”

I was surprised that APA Hotel was right beside the station! It was super easy and convenient to get to with lots of restaurants and the outlet mall right by it. The only con was that the walls in the room is super, super thin as in, you can hear someone have a normal conversation and it sounds like you are right beside them. I heard the next room's TV on for several hours (not their fault). I would recommend. you buying ear plugs for the night.

Location is great, easy access to JR station & there's supermarket & bank downstairs. The smoking room stinks really bad, bed is way too soft but it was a public holiday weekend in Japan so all rooms are full in Okayama so we had no choice but booking this one. I'd rather walk a few more mins and book Dormy Inn instead if I ever need to stay in Kurashiki again...

Super convenient location in charming vintage-style hotel”

The location couldn't be more convenient to the station, which is perfect for late night arrivals and early morning departures. Just a 15 min walk to the amazing Kurashiki Bikan sightseeing area – we had a really amazing time here. Staff were nice and spoke some English. The reception is on the 9th floor. Comfortable rooms – we got upgraded to the Double Room for 4 nights after booking the Semi-Double so that was really nice! The interior is vintage style which suits the location and history of the town :) Not the fanciest hotel you'll stay in, but it's clean, warm and convenient.

Thank you for staying with us here at APA HOTEL<Kurashiki-Ekimae>> and sharing your time to review. As you mentioned " The location couldn't be more convenient to the station. " , our hotel is just next to JR Kurashiki station. Moreover, it takes only 10 to 15 minutes to Bikan historical area from this hotel by walk. How did you find around Bikan area then? If we have some avairable rooms, we possibility have up-graded guest rooms for your pleasant stay every day. Some soon, we are looking forward to seeing your smille again.
