2-Star Hotels in Okayama Prefecture, Japan

We had a wonderful stay at Petite Hotel Resort!! Right from the time we arrived (in the rain) they were immediately attentive to our needs, immediately telling me where I could park my rental car and the shortest way to get back. Despite his busy-ness, Hirohisa took the time to explain everything to us and made sure we were comfortable. The dinner served was pretty good and with generous portions. But what made it outstanding was the service and the narrations that we had about the various historic music players in the room and the stories of their history that were given by Hirohisa. He also took time to tell us about the individual dishes and with pride explained how everything was sourced from the surrounding region. The private bath was on the rooftop of the building, with a wonderful view of the night sky and surrounding hills. It was a pity that the sky was clouded over, else I'm sure we would have had a chance to do some stargazing while in the bath. This stay was definitely a highlight of this trip of ours to Japan, and we can definitely highly recommend staying at Petite in the beautiful town of Yubara. Thank you so much, Hirohisa, your sister and all the staff in Petite!!

I stayed in a non-smoking single room. The room was clean and perfect. The front desk staff were also polite and left a good impression. The elevator was also close by. It's a little far from the station. It's not too far to walk, but because it was hot and I had luggage, I took the bus from in front of the station. It's just a short walk from the bus stop. The bus arrives quickly. It's right next to the Sanyo Shimbun building, so it's easy to find, and it's just one corner from the main road, so you don't have to worry about traffic noise. I think the location is good.

The location is nice. Although, I got a smaller room than I saw in the pictures, I couldn’t stand up straight because the roof was so low. Also, there was a short went to another room and I had to craft a curtain because the light from the other room shined straight on my face and you can’t sleep the other way around because there’s not enough room. Furthermore, even though I left my keys for the cleaners, they just left the clean towels and sheets outside my room and told me to do it and the key was left in my door. But the showers and toilets was nice and you have privacy which is nice.

The hotel is located very close to JR Kurashiki station and also to the Bikan Historical Quarter. There's no shortage of restaurants and cafes nearby. The room I chose was very tight but decent for the price. What I missed was storage room, and also a table or drawers for smaller personal belongings, since my bag and stuff like wallets and phones either had to stay over the bed or on the floor. The hotel could also use a retrofit since the paintings and carpets are showing some age. I did enjoy my stay there but only considering the price I paid and also the fact that I didn't spend much time inside my room. For solo travelers on a budget who are only looking for a bed to sleep at night, this hotel is good enough.

Hotels in Japan are expensive on Saturdays, so I was just going to an internet cafe, but then a special sale came up, so I made a same-day reservation and stayed there. It was convenient! It's a 9-minute walk from Okayama Station, and best of all, they give you a warm nikuman (meat bun) in the morning, and you can take as much bread as you want, so I ate a lot and left early in the morning. The ice cream and drinks are free, so it's a great place to save on change while traveling! I'd love to stay here again! The building was a bit old, but it was clean.

Small chill hotel, 4min from the train station, free dinner in there evening. Booked this place because I wanted to go see the nearby bridge view - the hotel had great last minute availability and a free dinner after a day of sightseeing was a welcome surprise! I went to Kurashiki next morning and the direct bus leaves from a bus stop 2min away from the hotel - super convenient.

What a fantastic start to my second trip to Japan! I had such an amazing stay here. The place is peaceful and quiet, and I slept really well. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. I loved the space and the town so much that I ended up extending my stay for another night. Highly recommend!

It's an old business hotel, so the corridors are cold and not air-conditioned, but the rooms are well-cleaned. There is a free drink server in front of the front desk, and I was surprised to see that they even have sours and highballs. I didn't use it, but they were generous enough to serve free curry in the evening. I think businessmen and long-term guests would be happy. The staff were friendly, the value for money and the location were good, so I'd like to use it again if I come to Tsuyama.

It used to be a love hotel, and I think it's still in operation, but the rooms were spacious and the bathtub was separate from the shower, so it was great. However, due to the love hotel system, once you check in you can't leave, so you have to check in after you've finished shopping. Also, although the payment system is unmanned, it takes time to confirm with the manager that you've prepaid with C-Trip when you check out. I wish they'd let me know when I check in.

It's very convenient to stay here when I transfer to an early flight from Narita Airport to Shikoku. It's a small area but I don't feel cramped. I'm quite satisfied with it. Disposable toothbrushes and slippers are provided. There were few people when I stayed there, so it was quite quiet.
