2-Star Hotels in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

Great place to stay. Not far from main attractions. Two stops away in a train. Main host is friendly and speaks English. He was very helpful with recommendations as well. The place was super clean.

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.

Although Shanyin itself is a relatively low consumption place, it is incredible that 20,000 yen can eat and stay for two people... Living in Japan for nearly 100 hotels and hotels is definitely in the top three. Although it looks like an old hotel, it can be seen that the woman will make everything in the room for better service, and then the carbon fire dinner is amazing, all the ingredients are big and fresh, It took the two men an hour and a half to finish eating. After dinner, the girl will also specially ask her son to drive us to the nearby hot spring bathhouse. Thank you very much. It was a very satisfying night. I believe many passengers who get off at Yue are going to Tangcun Hot Springs but I think it's totally possible to stay here without going back there (close to the station) for the night, and I highly recommend staying here for friends who don't have to ask for a private bathroom. This hotel is amazing.

Loved this nice little place. Excellent location right near the Nada station and bus 92. My private room was larger than expected, great AC, opposite the showers and toilet. Most important the bed was very comfortable! There is a train passing by now and then. I didn’t bother and slept well. There are free earplugs available. If you can sleep in a train, you won’t have any problem to sleep here. On the 1F a kitchen, relax and meetup area. Great to meet and talk with the other guests. Staff was excellent, very welcoming, in English 🙃.

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.

It's close to Himeji Castle, with supermarket nearby. The facility is clean. The staff recommended walking around Himeji Castle during the night time, it was really nice and beautiful. Staffs are not always around, even drop luggage before check in should be done after 10am, so be aware of check in and check out time.

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 business hotel in a small town, not expensive and very close to station with some local food available in 5 minutes walk
