Stayed again.

I stayed by myself last year but this time I stayed with my son. Room was large enough for 2 adults. Close to Himeji Castle and many restaurants. It was very convenient.

We arrived an hour earlier for check in and lady at the front desk told us that if we would like to check in earlier we will need to pay additional 1000 yen per each hour. So room was ready. We stayed at 7 different hotels on our trip and Apa was the only one asking for payment for earlier check in even if room was ready. Otherwise hotel was good, clean, room was on the small size (on the photos looks bigger). We opted for breakfast which we did not like.

Really good property, standard APA Hotel room. Very spacious and roughly a 6 minute walk from the main Himeji station. Good for solo travelers and dual travelers. Solo travelers can fit their check in, carryon and personal here. Two people can, but if they pack a tad lighter.
