Kurashiki Holidays

There were public baths at the hotel, but we ran into get one last soak before check out and they were already closed forCleaning. We still had half an hour before our checkout so we would’ve loved to have a few minutes to relax our bodies after walking all day the day before.

Such a great hotel! Right across from train station, express bus stop, and port for ferry to Naoshima. Our room (two twins) was gorgeous, very comfortable, nice shower, separate tpiletrppm, sink in main part of room. TV allowed access to Netflix, Hulu, etc. Our reservation included access to the neighboring onsen, which had both indoor and outdoor pools. Our reservation also onuded breakfast, which was DELICIOUS. A flight of freshly made juices (orange, lemonade, tomato & red pepper, spinach and apple, blueberry and red cabbage - sounds weird but was great), appetizer of steamed veggies and carrot soup, eggs Benedict made with tasty fish, croissant and roll, coffee. So good. FYI the first floor is a hostel (shared dorms and bathrooms), but that didn't affect our stay (we were on the third floor). Hotel has a denim theme thanks to Betty Smith factory nearby. When we come back, we will stay at this hotel and take ferry back and forth to Naoshima rather than staying on Naoshima itself (we had a great hotel, but it didn't give us access to an onsen!).

Clean room, amenities, staff and nice breakfast

Their dinner is great.

Staying at this hotel made riding the train easy, and there were many options nearby for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The room was clean and I had all I needed. I thought that the design of the bathroom faucet was strange. I couldn't leave it on, except at full strength. I found that inconvenient.
