The hotel is exactly as described: it has everything you might need when staying in Himeji. My highlights: Location: The location is fab, only about 7 mins walk from the station and surrounded by small, authentic Japanese restaurants and shops. It's a 25 minute walk to Himeji castle and Art Museum. Breakfast: The included breakfast is great (you need to be up early for it though), and has a wide range of Japanese (rice, tofu/meat burgers, miso soup, salmon, salads) and Western (pastries, sausages, juices) foods. They also have bento boxes that you can pack food into if you want to take the breakfast to go or eat it in your room. Price: It's a super reasonable price for great facilities. Room: Clean, bright, well-equipped (TV, fridge, wifi, reading lamps, hangers, unit bathroom, kettle etc.) and the bed was comfortable. Staff: The staff are friendly and helpful. Check in/out: It's all automated, you can use the machines which I found convenient. Luggage: They'll keep your luggage too, which made my last day much easier.

Nothing! I had a fabulous stay and wouldn't change anything.

Both rooms we had where next to each other. Very warm staff. Washer and dryer, prepare your 100Yens. At 15 minutes from the magnificient Castle, at 2 minutes from restaurants, 10 minutes from station. Don't forget to observe the manhole covers. I wished to stay longer to visit the city of Himeji.

We bothered the staff more than one to get the necessary cash for washing machine and dryer. Kindly, they always gave us what we needed. We could get double keys for each room. However, to distinguish them was a bit of a trick. Really, nothing serious.

We separated the family of 4 to 2 rooms so we could stretch out. There was plenty of space, the room was clean and the view was spectacular! We enjoyed sitting by the window watching the trains, the city lights and the storm come across. It was the perfect end to a big day at the castle and gardens.

The check in process was supposed to be automated, but they couldn't find our booking at first and several staff had to help manually check us in though the system. It would have been quicker to check in the normal way.

A short walk from the rail/bus station, the check in was quick, easy, and largely automated. The room was clean and easy to navigate. Heating/cooling was by a mini split unit, so you could heat/cool as needed. The breakfast was very tasty, with a mix of Japanese and western options.

The room itself was very no-frills, but for the price point, that is to be expected. It was still a great deal, well-kept, and super convenient.

Well situated close to the station and the centre of the city. Only a 15 minute walk to the castle. Hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable and had everything in it you would expect to find in a modern hotel. Breakfast was included in the price.

Not being able to check-in until 4.00pm and having no access to your room between 10 and 3pm.

This hotel has an excellent location near the Jr h i m e j i train station, and on the north side, which is important, because the castle is to the north. It is very easy to get to the castle from the hotel by bus or even by walking. The breakfast was very good

The hotel was more expensive than other toyoko Inns, but maybe this was because we were there on a holiday weekend.

1. Loved the buffet breakfast. They had very good quality foods and a great variety. They also had bento boxes available, so you could load them up and either take it with you to work or eat in your room. 2. Loved the hotel's location. Right next to the tram line and a few minutes' walk from the JR line. Also just a 10-15 minute walk from Himeji Castle and the shopping streets. 3. Loved the room. Although it was small, it is not much different from your average business hotel suite. It was also very clean, comfortable, with updated amenities and decor. My room had a sky blue accent wall, and I really enjoyed how bright it felt in the morning. The hotel feels quite new and updated.

Great location with lots of places to eat and drink just outside the door. The daily breakfasts were great and if you can get a room at the back of the hotel on a high floor you get a view of the castle.

You can get train noise if you have a room at the front of hotel.

Very clean and very well situated for the train station. really comfortable beds. Great shower. very helpful staff.

The ridiculous checking in machine that takes twice as long as if one of the three people helping us to use it had just done it themselves. Stupid technology over simple human activity!

Spotlessly clean and a very helpful staff. Good location close to the castle and railway srarion the breakfast was basic japanese,

Having stayed in Toyoko inns before, it was well up to expectations Breakfast was included in the basic price.
