    I enjoyed my stay at Ekimae Universal Hotel Minamiguchi. The location was perfect, just a 2-minute walk from the station. My room was clean and functional, and the included breakfast and dinner exceeded my expectations. the food didn’t quite match the hotel’s photos.

    My stay was fantastic, especially considering the unbeatable value for the money. The location was super convenient, just a quick walk from the train station, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

    The food for breakfast could use a bit more variety.

    Fantastic location, just two minutes from the Shinkansen station. Clean and comfortable rooms. New towels provided daily. Great selection for included breakfast and dinner. Big public bath and reasonable prices. Helpful 24/7 front desk. Open air architecture adds unique charm.

    All good.

    the location is convenient, just a quick two-minute walk from the station, making it easy to get around. the room, though small, was immaculate and comfortable with a nice window view. the included meals—both dinner and breakfast—offered a pleasant variety and were quite satisfying.

    Nothing to complain about! 😊.

    We had a great experience at the himeji universal. the location was convenient, just a two-minute walk from the train station. we opted for the half-board option, and both breakfast and dinner exceeded our expectations with a good variety of dishes. the room, albeit small, was clean and comfortable with daily towel service. the shared bath was spacious and well-maintained, although we didn’t get a chance to use the sauna since it wasn’t at the right temperature during our visit.

    None! 😄.

    This hotel is super close to the train station, making it super easy to explore the area. Just a short walk, and you're at local shops and restaurants. I also appreciated the friendly staff; they really made me feel welcome during my stay.

    The experience was quite disappointing. The beds were rock hard, and I struggled to get a decent night's sleep. The rooms felt worn down and needed a serious refresh—definitely not what I expected. Plus, the shower drain was blocked, which made for a frustrating experience overall.

    I had an amazing stay at this hotel; the value for money is impressive, especially with how clean and comfortable the room was. The location is super convenient, just a two-minute walk from the station, and the staff were friendly and accommodating throughout my visit.

    The breakfast offerings could use a bit more variety each day.

    Spent New Year’s at this hotel, and honestly, the location was a major win! Just a 2-minute walk from the train station, which made getting around super easy. The price was pretty reasonable, and I appreciated the big public bath to unwind after a long day of exploring. Wi-Fi was solid too!

    Now, the negatives really stood out. The room felt basic and kind of neglected, honestly. The shower barely drained, and the pillows were super uncomfortable. Plus, the food? It was definitely subpar and cold by the time it reached us. Not the cozy New Year vibe I was hoping for!

    I stayed for a month on a business trip and was pleasantly surprised by the great value offered by this hotel. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the train station, making it easy to explore the area. I enjoyed the included breakfast and dinner sets, which were both tasty and convenient. The rooms and bathrooms were comfortable and impeccably clean. The public sauna on the top floor was a nice touch, and the staff were always friendly and accommodating.

    I would be happy to recommend this hotel.
