2-Star Hotels in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

A fine hostel. No lift, so you'll have to haul your luggage up at least 4 flights of stairs. Towels are available only for rental. I didn't see much of the staff. The space was very clean, I stayed for two nights and there were only a couple other people. A little expensive for what it is, though I think prices in late December tend to be higher

The location is superb, nestled in an alley next to Jizo-yu (a traditional Japanese bath), quiet and away from the main street, so there's no noise from passing cars or the clatter of wooden clogs. Check-in is at 4 PM. Arriving early might mean no one's there; just leave your luggage at the door and wander around. There are security cameras everywhere, so it's very safe. Rooms vary in size; your assigned room is entirely based on luck. But rest assured, each room has its own unique character, very Japanese, with fragrant tatami mats and thoughtful touches. For one night's stay, each person receives two bath passes, so plan accordingly: one in the afternoon, one in the guesthouse's private bath in the evening, and one in the public bath at 7 AM the next day, then you can leave. The meals were surprisingly delicious, all Japanese home-style dishes. We were lucky enough to get snow crab, which we loved. The only inconvenience was communication. None of the staff at this family-run guesthouse spoke English, and even translation software wasn't accurate. Basically, they spoke their Japanese, I spoke my English, and my friend spoke Chinese—a three-way conversation! However, the owners were very welcoming.

I made a reservation on the day, so I gave up the parking lot and stopped nearby. I should have gone to the partner, but I was relieved that the parking lot I used all the time, so But the room was clean and I was able to stay on the day, so I think it was good. I stayed in Osaka to go to see live performances, so I had a meal, but I didn't eat, so I don't know a little, but I wish I had a pot in my room that I could drink tea.

Maya GH was awesome. I booked a female bedbunk & individual bunk was spacious and even a side to lay out all my amenties. The room even has a wooden table for common usage. The staircase was a little steep and tiny hence luggage will be helped to carry up or down checking in/out. Destinated Female restroom and shower was awesome. Second though, it is just beside railway hence ear plug was provided. The staff was all so friendly and cheerful greeting you in/out of GH. Oh, i save a small amount of the cablecar+ropeway trip as the GH has alias with Mt Maya. Had my NY celebration with them knocking the bell at shrine & early sunrise watching with the NY food prepared by them. Awesome stay with lovely neighbourhood.

Date of Stay: January 24-25 Number of Guests/Purpose: 2 people, Sightseeing Overall Rating: B Pros: * The room was clean and looked exactly like the photos. * Wi-Fi was available. * Check-in was smooth. * Rental service for boots and umbrellas was provided. * Came with tickets for touring Kinosaki Onsen, and the room had a convenient onsen set for taking out. * There are private baths within the building. Cons: * The room felt a bit old. * At night, hotel staff were loudly arguing outside the annex, which left a bad impression. Location/Surroundings: * About a 10-minute walk from the station. It felt a bit of a walk, but being in the center of the onsen town made access to all hot springs excellent. Host's Service: * Friendly and good service. Summary: Considering the price and location, it was good. However, it's not somewhere I'd definitely want to stay again, but rather I'd be interested in trying other ryokans next time.

The hostess is very kind. She asked me to introduce a restaurant nearby and go to table tennis in the evening. There are no Koreans, and there are almost many American guests in Europe. It's very far from the station, but it's very close to Himeji Castle.

Very cool authentic recan. Good location. Big rooms, there is your separate toilet. Rooms are all clean and there is everything necessary. You can sit on the balcony and breathe fresh air. The river has its mineral sources, you can sit nowhere. Very delicious breakfast. I was in a hotel like this for the first time, I liked everything. Owners are very pleasant people. Can be with tattoos (we and husband have big).

I was thinking about the hotel with the mentality of trying it out. I thought about the public toilet. The room felt small. It was mainly close to the happy muffin house. I ate muffins there at night and enjoyed the sunset. I didn't expect this school hotel to be great. Clean and hygienic art atmosphere...

the food is most generous and sumptous, and very high standard. We stayed in couple room with a private onsen tub. This make our stay most memorable as my wife was recovering from a major surgery. When we request the staff to add another layer to the futon mattress, he told us to do it on our own since the futon are in the room. When we told him that my wife is unable to do so due to the surgey, he oblidge to our request but unhappily. Apart from this unpleasant encounter, we decided to return again to this place.

Nice hotel nice location spoiled by **** lady staff. Maybe she really hate Asian. Everything is No! I asked how much the buffet as I was hungry upon checked in and saw they have food behind the counter. When I was going to find a seat outdoor with sea view, I was chased away by her without even given a menu or a chance to sit down. So rude!! I’m not there for free food or free seat!! I’m paying ok. The room at 2nd floor is blocked by the roof of the restaurant, waste my money for this stay.
