"It was very close to the station at a very reasonable price, breakfast and dinner were provided, and there was also a public bath and sauna, so I could relax at a very reasonable price. I would like to visit again."
"It was quite at night, clean, and the staff were very nice.
Only 2 down sides I saw were that there was no safe in the room I stayed in and that the shower randomly got hot."
"Walkable to the castle and gardens. Comfortable and clean on a quiet street. Multiple bedrooms gave everyone in the group privacy. Great alternative to a hotel."

Top Koko-en Garden Hotel Reviews
Seaside Hotel Maiko Villa Kobe
10/10 Excellent
"I am Canadian and recently retired from my position as President of a famous Japanese company in both
Canada and USA.
I have been to Japan upwards of 50 times and I have been spoiled staying at some of the most wonderful hotels and resorts throughout Asia, North America, Caribbean etc.
I am currently spending 90 days in Japan therefore, within budget, I am staying at moderately priced hotels throughout the country and I came upon this hotel.
With my many experience over the years, there is no doubt...this is in the top 5 of the BEST HOTELS I have ever stayed at!
It is absolutely beautiful and elegant in that wonderfully understated Japanese way.
1. Lobby
It's the first thing we usually notice when entering a hotel.
This lobby is beautiful, spacious and elegant.
2. Room
As a solo traveller on a budget, I chose a single room. But it was perfect. Unlike North America, Japanese hotel rooms are relatively small, but so well organized.
3. Breakfast
This is without doubt one of the BEST buffet style breakfasts I have ever had! Not only is the selection wide and varied, but the quality of the food and taste is absolutely outstanding!
4. Pool
Yes, as noted in other reviews, there is a cost for using the swimming pool. BUT, that is somewhat common in Japan.
When we consider the amazing low nightly cost for the room, so what. Paying for use of the pool is no big deal.
In conclusion: I plan to return to this hotel again before my trip is over. I LOVE this hotel!"
"Hotel east wing is slightly dated but still a really nice hotel. Onsen superb, best we have had in many hotels. 3 baths, 3 tubs, sauna, mist room and cold plunge pool. 9am closure for maintenance could be moved to 11am so guests could use it before going out. Good location and courtesy bus to and from Himeji station great, if you spot it... maybe mention it in ads? Room spotless, amenities first class, we enjoyed our stay."
"Very nice hotel, close to the train station. Quiet in the rooms. The afternoon/night parking attendant very helpful giving suggestion sightseeing in the area. The beds were a little hard for me. Walking distance from Himeji castle. Other than that, the location was easy access to everything."
"It was quite at night, clean, and the staff were very nice.
Only 2 down sides I saw were that there was no safe in the room I stayed in and that the shower randomly got hot."
"Very cordial staff, very clean and well supplied room. The bathtub was a great size and the bed was very comfortable. Could use a multi language remote control. "
