    A bit dated with the decor. Looks like a children’s hospital ward.

    Nice staff, fantastic location and good aircon, access to the adult channel.

    Bet quite small, but that was to be expected from the description

    It was good value for money, the room was quite a typical Japanese business hotel room, but they had hot drinks available on the first floor 24h and they provided breakfast pastries in the morning (they characterised them modestly as bread). We had no troubles during our stay.

    It’s great value for money. It won’t be everyone’s taste because of the decor but I found it fun and unique and represents Okayama well.

    The free buns in the morning and all day drinks. The staff were amazing, very attentive and spotless rooms.

    The bed was very uncomfortable - way too hard for our taste. The pillows are truly terrible. Also way too hard. It was quite noisy and cold due to the windows not being fully air tight. If you're OK with the bed, it's a nice hotel.

    Top Location close to the train station and castle. Free snacks and drinks. Very funny and quirky beaver theme.

    The room was a bit cold.

    The free Nikuman ban and pastries were offered from 6am. It was very helpful for me as I was leaving to catch the Shinkansen before 7. The location close enough to Okayama station was convenient, too.

    There is a free breakfast but it’s not the healthiest one, some food products like cake & hamburgers. Downstairs smelled a bit cigarettes.

    There is lots of complimentary products and free drinks and ice cream 24/7. The room was okey, in the bathroom was a bathtub and downstairs you can grab a bath bomb. Good location, 10-15 min walk from the train station. Nearby is Aeon shopping center and lots of restaurants.

    Good location with proximity to the train station. Staff was super friendly and some of them spoke English. You can get many snacks for free or for a very, very cheap contribution. They also had sweet bread that you could take in the morning.

    A welcoming and low cost hotel in the heart of the West which is a perfect base for exploring.

    The bed was a little hard but that seems to be par for the course in Japan, not all will be bothered by it. The hotel has a cute beaver/water otter mascot which is cute however it peppered everywhere to the extreme of it being in all the lifts, corridors and room and makes it feel like a children's ward on a hospital. Being in the heart of the city means there's sometimes some noise from the street at night. We didn't find it to bad past 11pm but if you walk out and about in the local area you will walk past some... interesting and entertaining bars and establishments. The TV has a number of unlocked Pornographic Channels on the TV interspersed with the normal channels that offer some... interesting content. The hotel only allows adults though so I strongly recommend you stay away from channels 121 and 131 while flicking though the TV channels so you don't accidently watch them for 30 mins like we did.

    The hotel was well located within walking distance of the train station and the centre of both the night life and heart of Okayama making it a perfect base for those traveling West Japan by Rail. Okayama has a charming castle and gardens but it's rail station is well serviced by the Shinkansen including the Nozami Super Express services with more trains stopping there than nearby Himejii and Fukuyama making it a perfect base for exploring. While the rooms weren't the largest this place was easily one of the best budget and low cost hotels we stayed at and as well as having Laundry, 24h reception and friendly staff on hand it offered free soft drinks, coffee, ice pops, hot chocolate etc from the reception 24h and the staff were both helpful and good English. The hotel provides fresh towels every day either in the room or on the door if you're in Do Not Disturb.
