Okayama Koraku Hotel

“Nice hotel in a good location.”

About a 10 minute walk from the station. Our room overlooked the canal which is a nice walk at any time of the day. The hotel is quite nice and our room was clean and comfortable. Good bed and shower. Helpful and friendly staff. Very good buffet breakfast available. Would stay here again.

“Well-located hotel with comfortable accommodation and helpful staff”

I stayed for two nights. The room had a good amount of space, and was comfortable and practical, with an interesting canal and city view.

I stayed for two nights. The room had a good amount of space, and was comfortable and practical, with an interesting canal and city view. There was an easy chair with a small table and stool, a decent-sized desk with a good desk lamp and light, desk chair, mini fridge, small tv, and humidifier. The drawers for clothes were appreciated and there was a reasonable amount of hanging space. There wasn't a safe. I found the air conditioning too cool regardless of adjustment but the temperature was ok when I turned it off. The shower was over the big bathtub. There was a reasonable amount of bench space, but because the toilet was between the bath and the sink one had to stretch to use some of it. There were some amenities in the room, with others available downstairs. The room had an electric jug, ice bucket and mugs. Only green tea bags in the room, but herbal and fruit tea bags were available downstairs. No complimentary water. Breakfast was quite good, I liked the sweets particularly. The hotel has some lovely ceramics and artworks on display. It's well located - less than a 10 minute walk to the JR Station, while the castle and Korakuen are about a 20 minute walk, and there are many shops and eateries in the immediate vicinity. Check-in was not till 3pm - this seems to be getting more common in Japan (it used to more often be 2pm). The staff were helpful, and kindly explained there might be delays with the forwarding of my luggage due to Golden Week (actually it arrived at my next stop the same day as me, but it was good to warn me in case). Overall, it was pretty good.

“Functional Hotel”

Nothing special about this hotel, which is a modern high-rise close to the train station. We had to stay one night on our way to Hiroshima so for us it was just a practical stop over. Rooms are OK, slightly larger than average for Japan.
