Shodo Island hotel rooms a the Independent

"Okayama is an underrated city in Japan as there are a lot to see here and in the surrounding area. This hotel is only a short walk from the main JR station. Despite its relatively small size, the room is quiet and comfortable with all the amenities I needed. Friendly and helpful front desk staff. "

"Very kind and clean. Healthy food and many dishes."

"Premium Superior Twin Room (non-smoking) Excellent room with lots of space, except for a tiny toilet. Fast internet. Pricey drinks. Conveniently next to the railway station. Tram stop not far away that goes to the castle and gardens."

"Right next to the park and castle, lots of dining options nearby, laundry machines available."

"Convenient and a good price. Room was comfortable for 3 adults. Only issue was heater didn’t work very well. We were offered new rooms to move to but chose to stay. Thanks for your hospitality. "

"uncomfortable pillows and small-size twin bed"

"This hotel was absolutely filthy. Seemed as if the room hadn't been cleaned. There was mold and hair all over the shower. "
