Find Hotels in Okayama Prefecture, Japan

It been fantastic stay in ANA hotel with good staff. I leave my luggage on high speed train on way to Okayama, and the front desk manager helped me to locate the bag from loss and found center, plus send the bag back in two days before I check out; is mission impossible according to train station officer. I would say it is best hotel to stay on the town if you are travel with family and children.

We had a very comfortable stay in Cuore, which happened to be located in the "cuore (center)" of Kurashiki Biken Area. Within 2 minutes walk you can arrive at the famous Ohara Museum and canal area, 10 minutes walk to Ivy Square and to most of the spots in Kurashiki Biken Area. The staff are nice and welcoming. The whole hostel were decorated in an (probable) Southern Italian Style, with a touch of Japanese style, which makes this place very amiable and approachable. The room is well-equipped (we lived in a 6 beds dorm f.y.i) The bed is a bit small yet comfty. Shower room is also very well-equipped, with a clean environment. They offered guests Q-Tip, razor, towel and Hair-dryer, which I personally really appreciate. Truly recommend this place, will definitely book it again if I come back to Kurashiki!

The hostel is about 10 minutes walk from Okayama Station. The front staff is very friendly and speaks fluent english, so communication won’t be a problem. They allow you to store your luggage at the lobby if you came early, so that’s a good thing. The room is kinda basic, and the bed is quite open (no curtains for the top deck) but it is acceptable for a place to sleep. My favorite part of the hostel is the lobby and the club jazz music they played which kept me relaxed and entertained until late night. Also I was quite lucky as they were hosting a staff party and I was invited to join in as well. Would stay again if I ever stop in Okayama.

If you expected or knew what to expect for a capsule hotel, this place is phenomenal value. With the low price they charge, you get frequently maintained spa and clean toilets. A plethora of men's sanitary and skin and body care products is a nice touch as well. Oh. And did I mention that it is located literally a stone throw away from okayama station and bustling area of okayama? Now the cons. the luggage compartment is very small and you need to rent a bigger compartment for 100 yen per day. The staff don't speak much English. Be prepared to use a translator app. And common area and capsule, though spacious, are quite dated. The air con sound might be a problem for light sleepers too. (for reference, Here's what a typical capsule e hotel traits you need to bear with, including this hotel: zero sound proofing, inconvenient when you wanna arrange your stuff in luggage because locker/luggage area is shared, tighter check in time of around 5pm)

I selected this hotel because of the high score and good comments on agoda and Hotel Maira didn’t make me disappointed. The price is very cheap, the room is tidy and clean with everything you need inside. You can also enjoy free bread in the morning, free ice lolly and drinks during the whole day. Hotel Maira even provides free bicycle rental service for her customers. We borrowed 2 bicycles from the hotel and rode to Korakuen to view cherry blossom which was amazing. Most importantly, all staff are very polite and friendly. My friend and I will both choose Hotel Maira for sure when we have chances to visit Okayama again! highly recommend for youngsters who doesn’t mind talking a little bit from the central station :)

The guest house is run by a couple, they are really nice and helpful. They not only helped me plan the trip and printed several transport timetables for okayami city and naoshima island, but also introduced traditional local food and delicious restaurants in Kurashiki. What's more, when I got my left foot hurt at Kurashiki, yuji-san and his wife gave me a bag of wound plasters and kindly guided me to the hospital for treatment. The Japanese style room is quiet and clean, located just beside the 星野仙一記念館. Here you can have your clothes washed and dried for free. If you spend 300 yen, you can enjoy the bread and toast with yuji-san handmade kiwi jam (there are also yogurt and butter) for breakfast.

We booked this hotel without knowing what kind of hotel it was. It's a hotel for short stays and although it has all the amenities it's very far from Okayama. When you arrive the staff isn't visible. The room has the windows closed although you can open them. The hotel page doesn't show what the room is like. From the Niwase Station you have 20 minutes walking through deserted residential streets and an industrial area. Near the hotel there is a Seven Eleven.

Hotel Excel - Okayama is situated in a very convenient position, just so handy to every thing one needs whilst visiting this beautiful city. It is surrounded by good restaurants all within walking distant, The Symphony Hall is just across the road and is well worth a visit. A grocery store that is open from 9AM until late evening has a good range of needs including fresh meals, liquor section and much more. The covered shopping street is adjacent and is a must see. The manager and staff of Hotel Excel are friendly, helpful and attended to any requests for anything from information on Okayama to any Hotel needs you may have. Views are fantastic , my favourite being to watch the castle , with a back drop of mountains behind it, appear each morning out of the mists at dawn and slowly become 3D - fantastic - I watched this happen everyday of the two weeks we were there. I do highly recommend this Hotel (and the Hotel Excel chain in other cities and towns in Japan).

It was the second time I stayed in Areaone hotel but this one in Okayama was slightly dusty and run down, for that price with well facilities in place and opposite to Mega Aeon mall and Donki, what to complaint nonetheless! It was a little far away from the train station but we are boys so we are ok. We travelled from Yonago, so we had lots of clothes to wash. There was a laundry room and next door to it were vending machines selling noodles and drinks as well as microwaves, with Aeon supermarket next door that was how we got creative when washing our clothes, especially the first day with heavy snow on the way and long delay, we were tired anyway. The bathtub was a little small as well. I like the most is the free coffee mix and green tea bags, of course, microwave! We had a pleasant stay. If you are one of those who needs to have a perfect hotel that treated you like a king, then this one is not for you. But if you are self-serving person like we are, then this one is quite ok!

Stayed 2 nights and hotel was very close to the historical quarter/canal with lots of small restaurants and bars in the back streets between the hotel and the station. Staff were friendly and inhouse coin laundry was a handy option given we'd been travelling for over a week by this stage. Excellent value for money as we only paid about US$50/night for a spacious and clean room. Would recommend staying here if looking for a nicer stay over Okayama but still convenient enough to get to Naoshima Art Island.

The hotel is about a 6-7 minute walk from the Kurashiki Station. You'll have to negotiate some stairs at the station but this place is definitely good value. The historic quarter is about 5mins by foot and it's something you have to see especially during cherry blossom season. No problems with Internet in your room and Okayama and Shikoku close by are great day trips.

My 3rd stay at this hotel and I'll definitely be staying here next time I'm in Okayama :) Great hotel. Great staff. Great location next to JR Okayama station, very handy for those traveling by Shinkansen. Great base for anyone visiting Shikoku Island - easy day trips to Takamatsu, Matsuyama, Kochi and everywhere in between - the trains for all these places depart from Okayama station. Great public bath to soothe your tired legs. Even has a coin laundry which most big hotels don't (combined washer/dryer 400-500¥ to wash & dry).

I stayed a week in Japan, and my stay at APA Hotel in Okayama was by far my best experience. The room is quite large by Japanese standards and it's just a quick walk from JR Okayama Station. When you leave the central exit (towards the foundation), hang a right and walk straight until you see the hotel on the right (it's on a corner). The bed was extremely comfortable and there was free Wi-fi that actually worked! When I inquired about renting a bicycle, they knew right where to point me to. I would definitely recommend a stay here; we are a couple but I saw many families checking in when I was there. :)

We got a corner room with a sofa that could be turned into an extra bed. In general room was very nice with a small entrance area and with bathroom and toilet separate (great for family), but very close. There is a small space in front of bath/toilet which can be used for luggage etc. In general very very nice compared to price and the fact that this is a Japanese hotel. Baby cot really good. Japanese & Western breakfast excellent with really nice seating areas (traditional Japanese small rooms). We also stayed at a 5-star Okayama hotel later on our trip. Koraku was much better value-for-money.

Everything in the room is quite new. During booking, there’s only smoking room left. Requested for non-smoking and quiet room. And I got it when I arrive. There’s toothbrush & toothpaste and 1 piece pajamas provided. It’s not too faraway to walk from Okayama station. It’s also easy to walk to Okayama Castle & Korakuen (prefer Korakuen to the castle; if you seen too many castle, it’s ok to give this castle a miss). There’s many shopping places near the castle and near the station but all closes by 8pm it 9pm. There’s a ramen shop near Bic Camera, between a drugstore and Family Mart, it’s quite spacious inside and the ramen comes with a free raw egg. Remember to press for the free egg from machine when you order for your meal. The ramen is actually lesser but there’s so much meat. You can order a rice to go with it. The set meals are quite worth it if you are a big eater. The breakfast is simple with 4 variety of pastries, hard boiled egg (yoke is something like Onsen egg yoke), instant soup from Maggi (beef consume, corn, tomato), juice from Minute Maid, coffee and tea. There’s a nice view of the Main Street while you are seated down to enjoy your morning breakfast. I would not mind staying here again if I’m to visit Okayama again.

When I was looking for hotels for my trip to Japan, almost all the hotels were unavailable except for a few capsule hotels and this. I booked a semi-double room and a single room which comes with complimentary breakfast. Most of the reception staff do not speak English and if they do, it's very minimal. Nonetheless, they are very polite. Some might find the single room tiny but I found the size comfortable. If you get a room facing the main entrance of the hotel, you may even catch the sunset. The bathroom is separated into wet and dry areas. The wet area has both a bathtub and an area for standing shower. The bath products provided are good enough such that I didn't have use my own toiletries. Bathrobes are provided but you will have to take it yourself from the cupboard opposite the lift at the hotel's lobby. Although the breakfast is 'simple' and the menu is pretty much fixed, it was filling and delicious. Depending on the season, there will also be fruits available too. I was lucky to have Japanese strawberries daily, which tastes naturally sweet with no sour notes at all. The coffee is good even though it's from a dispenser because the beans are grounded only when you select a coffee. The coffee machine will also be available from 4 pm to 9 pm, together with a microwave for guests to use. There are also a relatively wide selection of comic books (in Japanese) which you can read, two drinks vending machine and an ice dispenser. The hotel's location is very convenient and you can borrow bicycles from the hotel to cycle to central Okayama. It is also near Korakuen Garden and Okayama Castle. If you are bored of the hotel's breakfast, a 24-hours hyper-mart and a restaurant serving delicious handmade udon are just a 3 minutes walk from the hotel. There are many restaurants nearby too where you can satisfy your cravings for Japanese food. All in all, I greatly enjoyed my stay at this hotel and will definitely return if I were to visit Okayama again.

During my stay, there were unseasonably warm temperatures, causing the room to become unbearably hot. I attempted to turn on the air conditioning, only to realize there was no way to switch it from Heat to AC. Upon calling the reception desk, I found out that only the hotel could change it over to AC and as it wasn't June yet, they could not do anything about it. They did, however, bring up a fan to help cool down the room, but for the price of the room, I did not get the comfort I was expecting.

I have been to Japan a few times but I haven't tried to stay in this chain until this trip. The location of this one in Kurashiki is right on the main street. It is about 5 mins from the station and the Bikan Historical Quarter. After I arrived, I found out the hotel is near some hostess bars. So the hotel appeared to be a bit more crowded than I expected. The staff were friendly and can easily communicate in English.
