Great stay in a convenient location and nice hosts

Incredibly welcoming and nice hosts, the property is very well located near the castle and a train station. Everything was very clean, convenient, with a very homey feel which made the stay even more comfortable. Slept very well, absolutely no complaints, would recommend and stay again if back in Himeji.

対応は親切かつ丁寧です。 居住空間も清潔で、施設周辺も静かな エリアにあるので快適です。今回はラバトリーの横の部屋でしたので、他の旅客が使用する際の音がが多少気になりましたが、不快なレベルではありません。 また機会があれば利用させていただくつもりです。

3000円代で⁈

お得感満載の宿でした。新築かと思うようなきれいな部屋、洗面所、お風呂←シャワーだけでなく、バスタブあり🎶共用の冷蔵庫は２階の部屋前にもあり、夜中にアイス食べたくなっても、部屋から１歩で取りに行かれる。 いつも気にかけてくれるオーナーと、扉の向こうのご自宅から聞こえてくる子どもの声。友達の家に泊まりに来たかのような心地良い宿でした。 とても快適な時間を過ごさせていただきました。ありがとうございました😊
シンプルで普通の家に見えるけど、ウェルカム��感は満載❣️
