Himeji Ekimae Universal Hotel minamiguchi

Very close to Himeji station and is a straightforward walk to the castle. Large, busy business hotel. Receptionist at check-in had great English and was very informative. Dated room, poorly insulated for sound and temperature, but with a comfortable bed, a fridge, a kettle and an air-conditioning unit that could heat the room. I was in room 1501, which overlooks the station and would be wonderful for trainspotters (a little noisy for everyone else). The hotel offers a basic canteen-style breakfast and dinner, which made it good value for money. It also offers separate male and female bath/sauna areas, but I didn't try this.

A lovely stay in this hotel, so close to the station, with a public bath area and including breakfast and dinner. What!? Clean, I loved watching the trains from my window (some may struggle with the noise). My only negative comment is the spring mattress, where soon enough as a side sleeper I started feeling the springs against me, not comfortable. Update the mattresses and it's perfect. A very quirky building to see too.

Great value hotel with breakfast and dinner included. Everything was clean and it‘s a 1 minute walk away from the train station. The Himeji castle is only a 1,6km walk away and you can easily get a bus to Mt Shosha from the train station bus stop. You can choose your dinner from two options and breakfast is buffet style.

Free dinner and free breakfast. It is just next to the train station, very convenient.

Good place to stay, good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Cant find any space to park bicycle within the Hotel.
