Hotel berhampiran Stesen Hori, Himeji

First time staying at a Dormy hotel inn and super impressed with the level of hospitality for the price! 1. Public onsen and sauna are available on the top floor. Gender segregated with both indoor and outdoor (rotenburo) sections and the usual amenities. Only the sauna is closed overnight, the onsen remains open. Washing machine and dryer are available on 12F too. The washing machine is free, the dryer is not. 2. Free refreshment once you're done with your onsen. Ice cream at night and probiotic drink in the morning. 3. Free serving of ramen (yonakisoba) at night from 21:30-23:00. Head over to the restaurant at 2F. 4. Breakfast buffet is available and it was honestly quite decent for the price. Would stay at Dormy again if I return to Japan 😊

Wonderful front staff. Check in process is easy and smooth. Corner twin room is small given there are 2 beds in the room. Restroom and bath are separate. Sadly, the design of the room left a huge corridor area essentially as wasted space in the room, making the room very small. Location, staff, service and cleanliness are all good, but the room layout or use can improve. It is really more suitable for a single bed only.

Quiet location but still only minutes from station and shops. We stayed for an extended period as visiting family and Stayed in a twin room which is a very good size. Plenty of room to ‘live’ . Staff were all extremely friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was very good, great choices and all very fresh. The breakfast area being used as a ‘lounge’ with free drinks from 2-8pm was very useful. Cannot speak highly enough of our stay. One very minor thing, is that there is no room safe so if you feel the need to lock valuables away they have to be deposited with reception. Would highly recommend Richmond Hotel.

Breakfast buffet ( included in the hotel price) is very delicious with many varieties, especially freshly squeezed fruit, vegetable juice, fruits like apples, pineapples, mangoes which were not available in my previous hotel at Toyoko Inn at Fukuyama. However, my only problem was my knee issue ( chronic joints pain) as it was a bit difficult due to pain to get onto the elevated bathroom in the room.

Room is small. Stayed one night and over the weekend hence the room rate was high. Also it coincided with the marathon. There was free parking which was one of the reasons I chose this hotel. The hotel staff are not very conversant in English and it is not near the city centre. There was however a very big supermarket nearby where we could pick foodstuff for our journey up north. Came back to Himeji a week later and this time I stayed at a hotel located in the city centre where there are a lot of parking around it.

An excellently located hotel, only approximately three minutes from the train station, with welcoming and professional staff. The room was clean and well appointed with a lovely night view of the city. There are plentiful adjacent shops and restaurants, and the castle is a direct half an hours walk away.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is very convenient, the service was great, and the hotel was clean and quiet. It was a very good experience, and I’m glad I chose this place.

Hotel was clean and super close to the station. Himeji Castle reachable by foot. Staff was kind and keen to help, we really felt welcome here. Room was small (as everywhere in Japan) but clean and provided with all the amenities needed! We would absolutely recommend this place! PS: They also have a cool onsen with a sauna and an outdoor bath!

The building was extremely old and poorly lit; the reception area, the guest rooms everything felt dim and gloomy. The room slippers were not disposable, which I found unhygienic, so I couldn't bring myself to wear them. Since my room was located right near the elevator, I could clearly hear the sounds of people walking in the hallway; furthermore, even while inside my room, the conversations from neighboring guest rooms were so loud that I couldn't get any sleep at night.
