Pros:

A very nice hotel with a big compound and great for exploring Kurashiki old town by foot easily. Rooms are small but adequate. There is a free onsen for hotel guests which we enjoyed. There is also a huge parking lot right opposite the hotel and hotel guests only need to pay 500 yen per night. Like the vibes of the hotel, and it looks much better than the photos on the listing

Pros:

Etablissement différent des business hotel ou des guesthouse dans lesquels je dors le plus souvent. Architecture et décoration plus personnelle, plus gaie. Grand patio central. Excellente situation géographique. Parking tout proche. Très bon petit-déjeuner, varié. Accueil très professionnel.

Cons:

Chambre petite, et surtout sans rien de pensé pour y mettre ses bagages, bien encombrants dans celle-ci. Lit trop peu dur (à mon goût). Wifi assez lent.

Cool vibes in a great location
Pros:

The best restaurant in all of the Prefecture, called Momonga, is right behind this hotel. Incredible. Also, happy hour downstairs was a good Idea

Cons:

No way to hook a Roku up to the TV.. That was frustrating

Great location and the Historical quarter with lots of amenities for convenience.
Pros:

Great location in Historical quarter convenient to walk around. Large, lovely Interior courtyard.

Cons:

Hallway to the rooms seemed dark and outdated. The lime green doors were surprising.
