* 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.

We had a wonderful stay at Kaze Box. The house is spotless, cosy, and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. It truly felt like a home away from home. The kitchen has an induction stove, pots, pans, and other essentials for anyone who enjoys cooking. There’s also a washing machine and dryer, which were incredibly convenient, especially for a longer stay. The layout is perfect, with a comfortable living and dining area on the ground floor and two cosy bedrooms upstairs. One thoughtful touch we really appreciated was the charging ports provided in every room. If you’re travelling with children, you’ll love the collection of books and toys that help keep the little ones entertained. Parking couldn’t be more convenient, with a dedicated space located right outside the house. The location is excellent too. Happy and Halows supermarkets are only about a 5-minute drive away, and there’s a 7-Eleven just a 5-minute walk from the property, making it easy to pick up groceries or snacks at any time. The owner has clearly put a lot of thought into making guests feel welcome and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-equipped place to stay.

Just 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.

We 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!

I stayed here because there was a live music venue nearby. The staff were very friendly and helpful. However, regarding the aging facilities and the cleanliness, I just turned a blind eye and stayed for two nights. Breakfast was included, and it was nice to be able to enjoy a delicious Japanese breakfast. Oh, there are manga books available on the 4th floor that you can read freely, and it seemed like there was a welcome drink, but unfortunately, I couldn't have one because the timing didn't work out.

Facilities: New, with a free public bath on the top floor. Cleanliness: Spotless. Environment: Excellent location, just a 10-minute walk to the station and outlet mall. Service: Warm and attentive, with complimentary bottled water in the room and a free coffee bar on the eleventh floor.

Perfect location with indoor access to train station and shopping area. No bottle water provided and hotel breakfast ¥1500 was usual business hotel quality and the same daily (I stayed for 3 nights). Ok room size for solo travelers. I requested room on same floor as self served laundry room but 14th floor only has one machine and was occupied most of the time in the evening. Other floors have 2 machines. I had to use the machine on 13th floor

It's very close to Okayama Castle, but the self check-in process was a bit cumbersome. The soundproofing in the room could also be improved. What was truly unacceptable was the room's cleanliness; there was a significant amount of hair on both the bed and the floor, making it feel like it hadn't been properly cleaned in a long time.

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.

Beautiful lobby, nice automatic piano, free coffee and drinks, great onsen, didnt use the gym due to being late. Lost something and it was found. But for the price is was a excellent stay!
