It was very clean and was very comfortable. The location was not very close from the hotel or from Korakuen. It took me more than 15 minutes with heavy suitcase, but the hotel itself was very clean and comfortable, and it was very reasonable. Very nice hotel. I will use Smile Hotel again.

Staff was great. They helped me send my luggage back to Tokyo. Location great about 10 minutes walk to train station, close to lots of shops and castle. Lobby nice and clean but room cleanliness is lacking in the details. Bathroom fan had layers of dust. Pink bacteria stain behind faucet and side of shower. Showerhead had black mold in the centre. This would prevent me from staying again unfortunately.

The hotel is a good 10 minute walk from the train station. The first hotel in Japan we have stayed in this price range that didn’t offer any free drink or coffee. Average.

Bus and tram stops out the front. Easy to get around. Got there two hours early before check in and they offered to store my luggage for me so I could go get a bite to eat. Okayama was a really nice place to visit overall.

Room was nice and clean. Amenities available from reception include tea, toothbrushes and razors. No coffee, though. Breakfast was good, but exactly the same options each day. There were some rolls and pats of butter but no knives to cut the rolls and apread the butter. Odd.

The first room I git had some type of flying bugs in the windows and curtains and a big stain in the carpet. I asked to change room and they gave me another one. The new one was better, but still a few minor things caught my attention. The hotel was well located and easy access to train station so I overlooked the minor flaws which can happen in hotels such as these.

Good hotel for a 2 nights stay in Okayama. Breakfast was mainly of Japanese style: rice, fish, vegetables, miso soup. Coffee, tea, orange juice completes the menu.

This hotel is very clean & comfortable. It’s about an easy 12-minute walk to the train station even with luggage. There’s a convenience store a few doors down & a supermarket a couple blocks away. The rooms have a nice desks that’s good for working. WiFi is fast. There’s a kettle & a fridge. This is one of my favorite hotels in Japan because it’s was so clean, simple & conveniently located. Plus the price was very budget friendly.
