Kurashiki Mount Washu Observatory Hotels

"To be fair, pros include wheelchair friendly and the location is excellent. Cons include security bleach and no shower cap. The bed sheet had blood stain. I took a nap as soon as I checked in without knowing that the door was not locked. When I called the front desk, the gentleman apologized saying he forgot to set the door lock after house keeper finished cleaning. They apparently have a master key and they can control door lock. I witnessed the front desk staff lock my room door. My husband is a security consultant and he said if they can lock the door using a master key, they certainly unlock your room. I know crime rate is rising even in Japan for inside job, including insurance company employees recently. So, just be aware when you make reservations."

"Clean room and great location."

"Amazing view and great staff "

"We used the hotel elevating parking which is connected to the hotel. Within a minute of pulling up to the facility, front desk staff came out to assist with the parking. Additionally, when we notified the front desk that one of the washer/dryer machines was not working, again, staff arrived within minutes to get it working. Excellent location near restaurants and a short walk to the Kurashiki historical district. "

"Excellent location near the old quarter Good facilities Great staff. Rooms are a little small "

"The hotel is located on a hillside not far from Miyaura Port. In the morning, rooms with balconies offer beautiful views and sunrises. Walking to the port doesn’t take long, and along the way you can see the red pumpkin and white birdcage illuminated by lights, creating a unique atmosphere in the evening. Our stay was truly heartwarming, and we wish to extend our deepest gratitude to Shimasaki-san, she went above and beyond to assist us, and her warmth and kindness left a lasting impression. We sincerely hope this kind-hearted lady, who treasures art museums yet is even more devoted to her work in hospitality, finds great success in the future."

"Best breakfast"

"Good"

"The hotel felt as if it had been renovated from an old love hotel. There were amenities and candies placed at the front desk, but when I tried to throw away the candy wrapper and asked a staff member where the trash bin was, they didn’t take the wrapper and simply handed me a garbage bag instead. The breakfast tasted good and was satisfying, but the dining area was right next to the front desk, so it didn’t feel relaxing. Since the word “spa” was in the hotel’s name, I expected to unwind, which is why I booked it, but I think I could have relaxed more at a regular chain hotel. If you are looking for something cost-effective, I would recommend it. However, if you want to relax, I would suggest choosing a different hotel."
