My friends and I stayed one night in this hotel. It was reasonably priced and about five-ten minutes from the main station and easy to find. We booked a triple room, which was two beds and a sofa bed. I've seen some complaints about the beds here, but really none of us had any problems and all had a comfortable... More

This hotel is modern. The rooms are a good size for Japan. It is only a 5 minute walk to the main line station and is central to all the main shops. The rooms were quiet and had all the facilities needed. The only negative comment I would make would be that the european brakfast oprion was poor in the... More

Stayed for 2 nights as a base for day trips to smaller areas. The room was a decent size, with decent amenities, but nothing outside of the norm. As other reviews have mentioned, the bed was HARD and the pillows uncomfortable, however alternative pillows were provided free of charge, but only a slight improvement. The washing machines are located only... More

We stayed here 3 nights in Jan first week. The staff were really friendly and helpful- I was making a day trip to Naoshima and luckily I checked with them, for the day I wanted to go- the ferry service was not operting- so I rescheduled. They also have a brochure with recommended eateries (including vegetarian) in English. There is... More

We spent a night here in Okayama to see Kurashiki and on our way to Naoshima. The hotel was reasonably convenient to the train station. The room was small and not very comfortable. This is a classic Japanese business hotel, westerners be warned. Bad bed, bad pillows, not a very good night's sleep. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. You... More

I usually stay at the ANA right at the train station in Okayama, but it was fully booked so I tried the Kooraku Hotel as an alternative. I found it to be comfortable and convenient. A nice breakfast buffet as well. About a 5 minute walk from the train station, very easy. I would stay here again if faced with... More

The hotel position is very convenient, midway between Okayama station and Koraku garden and castle. 5 minutes walk from both. We booked a "confort" with in-room massage chair for 12,000 Yen a night (no breakfast). Room was large compared to Japanese standard, but the chair occupy a lot of space. To make room for it, one beside table had been... More

We stayed for five nights on vacation. Hotel was ideally located, short walk to the train station and likewise to main shopping centres. We also walked to Okayama Korakuen. Service was impeccable: rooms immaculately clean, staff friendly and helpful. We tried Okabe restaurant recommended by staff (and documented in a personalised map available in the lobby) and was very impressed.

My daughter, who lives in Kurashiki, recommends this hotel to her friends. I stayed two nights to sightsee more easily in Okayama during a rainy weekend. Although I wondered what it would feel like to be a western woman alone in a business hotel, I was warmly welcomed and all my needs were perfectly met. My room was sparkling clean... More
