Central location right by the train station but very quiet. The staff here and EXCEPTIONAL. Rooms are comfortable and the air conditioning works great. Breakfast had a large variety of options with eggs made to order - outstanding view from the top floor restaurant. Would recommend for anyone staying in Okayama or the surrounding area.

Jr.TakeshiHighly recommended
Service: Top-notch service by the reception. Left our bags there as it was not time to check-in and by the time we came back to check-in, they were already in our room. Receptionist was really friendly and can converse in English.
Location: Really strategic and was the right choice for us as it was the rainy season when we stayed. The hotel is directly connected to the JR Okayama station via a covered bridge and there is no need go under the rain (or sun) to get to our hotel. There is also a big AEON mall behind the hotel, a nice Don Quijote and Takashimaya department store across the street. The electric tramway stop is also just across the street and can get you to places like Okayama castle, Korakuen garden and food places at Omotecho shopping street.
Room: Really spacious with enough room to even open 2-3 luggage bags side-by-side. Toilet is separate from
bath (which I prefer) and bathtub was huge.
Amenities: They provide free drinks (including few bottles of red and white wine) and great coffee/tea sachets. Bath salts, travel kits (skin care and bath) were provided as well.
Price: May be on the higher side but understandable due to the points above. I would say it is reasonable.
Wifi: The connectivity is just awful. It might be cause I was allocated the far corner/end room but it was really unstable and I had to use my own travel data most of the time. I find this is a really important point for the hotel to take note as overseas travellers usually have a very limited data allowance and would often need to rely on the hotel's wifi to surf the net (or do social media uploads/postings)

* About a 5-minute walk from the station, but the path is easy to walk on, so pulling luggage won't be too difficult.
* Close to the main street of Kurashiki Old Town.
* The room isn't large, but the layout is reasonable, with plenty of usable space; even a 26-inch suitcase can be opened comfortably.
* The front desk staff are friendly and responsive to inquiries and requests for help.
* The room feels quite new overall, and it has all the usual amenities.
* There's a bathroom in the room, and you can also go to the public bath.
* The bed is comfortable and not too soft.
* There's a 7-Eleven and Lawson nearby.
* For a hotel near the station, it's quite good value for money.

Guest UserJust a 3-4 minute walk from Kurashiki Station South Exit, this hotel has a lovely European resort style. For a Monday, a twin room at only 330 yen is incredible value for money! The room was quite spacious, and the large public bath in the basement was also very roomy, complete with free massage chairs. You can buy tickets for the Ohara Museum of Art at the front desk for 100 yen less than at the entrance. Plus, there's an affordable supermarket right across from the hotel that's open until 11 PM – perfect for grabbing groceries! I bought a bunch of late-night snacks and breakfast for the next day, all for less than 1500 yen.

Ferfer8We are a family travelling with 3 kids so we drive a car, and factored in luggage space.
1) Vessel hotel has hands-down one of the best beds ever! We checked and realised it was a Simmons mattress so the beds really offered us deep & restful sleep!! Love this!
2) The carpark was right outside the hotel so it was super convenient not having to walk up & down diff storeys to take things from car. We returned to hotel ard 10pm on 1 night & there were no more parking lots! We’d have to park at a multi-storey building that was 12mins walk away, which wld have been v convenient.
3) The breakfast was yummy. We went in summer & enjoyed the Barazushi (Okayama special during festivals) & the rice was sweet, salty, flavourful, and delicious with prawn, eggs, eel, lotus roots (see pic). Really yummy! Try it
4) Hotel staff were very helpful! We asked for an extra luggage stand so we wldnt need to bend too low & they brought it immediately.
5) There’s a big supermarket just across the road with cheap groceries that we stocked up on for our road trip.
6) If you intend to drive, this is a highly recommend hotel in Kurashiki!! Wld stay here again! It was great!

KylnokillExcellent!
The reception staff were great, very friendly and attentive.
Around the check-in date, an email was sent for pre-registration. After completion, a QR code was provided for check-in, which could be scanned at the front desk.
Breakfast was served from 6:30-9:30 AM and was delicious with a wide variety of choices.
From 6:00-8:00 PM, a free drink per person was available at the restaurant, including lemonade and beer.
The first floor has a lounge area, restaurant, vending machines, and massage chairs.
The fourth floor has two washing machines (with detergent already added), two dryers, a vending machine for drinks and beer, and a comic book collection.
Overall, I was very impressed and the experience was excellent.

ShinuobiThis hotel is located at a strategic location just right above the train station. It is sheltered all the way. After alighting from the airport shuttle bus terminal, take the escalator up turn left and it is just a small entrance same as GU. Take the lift up to level 5 for the reception. Many things to shop here.
Hotel room is a bit small and if your luggage is open both ways, you might have problem placing it down. Take all the toiletries you need before going to the room. Does not provide shower cap though.
There is coin operated washing machine in certain levels. View the status on your tv panel and it’s the convenience that I like. Comfortable stay.

I stayed at this cabin hotel for two nights to visit Naoshima Island and it was a truly great experience. If you are looking for a unique and high-quality stay, I highly recommend it.
The Highlights:
• Service & Food: The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. A huge standout was the breakfast, it was exceptionally fresh and delicious!
• The Cabin: For a ”cabin” style accommodation, the space felt surprisingly roomy. The bed was very comfortable, and I slept quite well.
Addressing the ”Security” Concern:
Before booking, I was a bit hesitant because of previous reviews mentioning that the cabins do not lock. However, after staying there, I didn't find this to be an issue at all. I never felt unsafe and it didn't take away from the experience.
Good to Know:
The only thing to be aware of is that since it is a shared sleeping hall, you can hear some noise from other guests. However, in my experience, it was still a very pleasant and calm environment.
I honestly have nothing negative to say, it’s a perfect spot for travelers heading to the art islands!

This was my first time in Okayama, and I chose this hotel. They offer free breakfast and dinner. The breakfast is a buffet with both Western and Japanese options, so you can choose what you like. For dinner, there are two choices: a rotating daily set meal or a fixed curry rice dish.
The public bath is a bit small, but it's fine for about four or five people.
The hotel is about an eight-minute walk from Okayama Station. There's a Don Quijote along the way, and plenty of restaurants and izakayas nearby, so there are lots of dining options. Convenience stores are also very close.
The room I stayed in this time was quite spacious, even with my luggage open, there was still plenty of room.
I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Okayama.
The only thing to be aware of is that there are about five or six steps right after you enter, which can be a bit challenging if you have heavy luggage. Otherwise, everything else was excellent.
