"Room is small. Stayed one night and over the weekend hence the room rate was high. Also it coincided with the marathon. There was free parking which was one of the reasons I chose this hotel. The hotel staff are not very conversant in English and it is not near the city centre. There was however a very big supermarket nearby where we could pick foodstuff for our journey up north. Came back to Himeji a week later and this time I stayed at a hotel located in the city centre where there are a lot of parking around it."
"Apart from the water supply issue in the room, the rest are perfect. The breakfast was good, and the night views from the hotel was spectacular. The water supply in the room was too slow, and I had to go to the public bathroom for brushing teeth. The staff offered to upgrade us to another room, but we don't like the 2 single beds room so we decided to stay in the one King bedroom that we reserved."
"3 Used in one room, one was like a simple bed, so the person who hit it felt poor, but 💦 Other than that, I was able to spend comfortably. I didn't know there was something curry at night ... ⇦ If you go straight to the hotel normally, you would have been in time for the offer time.
I stopped by shopping malls and convenience stores for dinner and lost curry.
Only the guests of this hotel could enter the public bath of a nearby hotel for free, but I knew it (remembered) with the poster posted in the hotel, and the next morning 🤭
No, maybe I read it in detail and reviews when I made a hotel reservation, but I completely forgot ... I lost the large communal bath 💦 I am very satisfied with the price! And the very kind and polite foreign staff took care of me.
I want to go to curry revenge again at night.
Oh, and breakfast (there is also a drink bar)
It's free ... It was so delicious ‼️
One thing to say is that it would have been better if the outlet in the room was on each bedside or there was an extension code for lending 〜
The outlet was only near the cot 1 place ... inconvenient"

Great
KKTKXFirst time staying at a Dormy hotel inn and super impressed with the level of hospitality for the price!
1. Public onsen and sauna are available on the top floor. Gender segregated with both indoor and outdoor (rotenburo) sections and the usual amenities. Only the sauna is closed overnight, the onsen remains open. Washing machine and dryer are available on 12F too. The washing machine is free, the dryer is not.
2. Free refreshment once you're done with your onsen. Ice cream at night and probiotic drink in the morning.
3. Free serving of ramen (yonakisoba) at night from 21:30-23:00. Head over to the restaurant at 2F.
4. Breakfast buffet is available and it was honestly quite decent for the price.
Would stay at Dormy again if I return to Japan 😊
MMr.HouThe location is excellent, less than a 10-minute walk from the station. The facilities were good, and the place was very clean. We chose a twin room, and the size was just right – not at all cramped. A big plus was the separate shower and toilet area. The price was also very reasonable, making it a much better option than other hotels nearby. I'd highly recommend it. Our top-floor room was also a nice bonus.
SShilindianzanWe were a family of three traveling to Himeji and stayed for three nights. We initially booked a Hollywood twin room, but found it wasn't suitable upon entering. After discussing it with the hotel staff, we were able to switch to a 27-square-meter standard room, which we were very happy with. The staff were extremely helpful and kept bowing. What we liked most about this hotel was its location. Looking at Google Maps, there are about 50 restaurants within a 1km radius, and it's only about a 5-minute walk from Himeji Station. In short, the location is unbeatable. It's also very convenient to get to Engyo-ji Temple; one bus takes you directly to the final stop. Oh, and a special mention for breakfast – 800 yen for children and 1800 yen for adults. It's definitely worth trying!
MMK LohBreakfast buffet ( included in the hotel price) is very delicious with many varieties, especially freshly squeezed fruit, vegetable juice, fruits like apples, pineapples, mangoes which were not available in my previous hotel at Toyoko Inn at Fukuyama.
However, my only problem was my knee issue ( chronic joints pain) as it was a bit difficult due to pain to get onto the elevated bathroom in the room.
GGuest UserI really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is very convenient, the service was great, and the hotel was clean and quiet. It was a very good experience, and I’m glad I chose this place.
SSunYCWe stayed at this hotel for three days and were very satisfied. The breakfast had slight variations each day, offering local specialties, and there was a delicious coffee machine available at all times. In the evenings, they even provided free alcoholic beverages and ochazuke (rice with tea/broth), which was absolutely perfect for the price. The hotel is also very close to the station; you can reach the Shinkansen platform in under 5 minutes if you're not carrying heavy luggage. If I had to pick a flaw, it would be great if the hairdryer in the room had a stronger airflow.
GGoh Yue YaoI give 5star although its 12min walk away from station because its so near shops and castle. Service i also give 5star because they let me leave my luggage before check in time.. but be sure you be there before 10am. Its quite old place. Rooms at second floor. I like it they let me choose the empty space i wanted instead of assigning any bed to me..
GGuest UserThis is a five star hotel in a three star body. Rooms are TINY, like scandanavian homes, but everything was clean and fresh, staff were outstanding, we could store out bags before and after our stay, missing personal articles available for free downstairs. Clear rooftop vie of the castle so you don't have to leave the hotel for beutiful shots of the castle. Near a huge gorgeous, covered pedetrian only walking are. Only sorry to have had only one night here.
GGuest UserLocation is really close to train station which I like. Lots of food options around. Himeji castle is a 20 minute walk but you can opt to take a bus if you have walking issues.
The bathroom and toilet is separated. Towels and amenities such as soap, shampoo, toothbrush, and moisturizing lotion are provided.
To be honest we didn't know how to operate the bath pool/jacuzzi, but it was already full when we got there so it was nice. There's a windowsill which allows you to peek inside the soaking area so that was funny. If you're with your spouse it wouldn't matter though.
