We were looking forward to staying this hotel. We searched this hotel on Booking, which showed you might can see Himeji Castle in your room. ⊂⁠(⁠(⁠・⁠▽⁠・⁠)⁠)⁠⊃ So, I sent messages to the hotel two months ago. (⁠⊙⁠_⁠◎⁠) The hotel replied me they would try their best to arrange room, but they could't promise us. When we opened the door, we were so happy that dream came true. Thank you so much!! (⁠●⁠♡⁠∀⁠♡⁠)(⁠つ⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)⁠つ(⁠✯⁠ᴗ⁠✯⁠) This was our first time to taste Janpanese breakfast. Everything was so amazing. The boss in restaurant I thought he was nice. He let staff eat breakfast within morning. (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠) Maybe he could give longer time to staff. Staff eat breakfast as fast as cheetah. I was so worry their health.(⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠) I enjoyed breakfast and had good time here. Thank you so much~ If I had another trip here, I must choose this hotel again. (⁠〃ﾟ⁠3ﾟ⁠〃⁠)(⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

Very unassuming place, Himeji feels like 1970s yesteryear vibes - as if I stepped into a Time Machine. The hotel is relatively modern and boutique, clean and has everything that we need. It even has a massage chair (which works well but I don’t find it particularly soothing but that’s just subjective). The bed is extremely comfy and I really have the best sleep on it. The night view is also 100/100… ours is a corner room so we got the extra window panel facing out int the main road (most won’t have). Not noisy and very good stay. Location is also very convenient and easy to spot :)

The rooms are quite large, extremely clean with full amenities at very reasonable price point. City Central in city near all hubs of easy transport and walking distance to Himeji Castle… a must see in the heart

Great stay at this location, staff were friendly, parking is 1200 yen per day, cheaper than major cities but a bit more than nearby coin parking and other hotels. The parking is car elevator type which i personally dislike but the staff here is super quick and the elevator is quick too, so it's as good as car elevator goes. The room had a super amazing view of himeji castle. It is a bit dated, minor damages in the room, but overall it's clean, spacious and comfy (good aircon).

We were late in checking out (check out time is at 11am) and at around 11:14 the receptionist called and we told her we were coming down in ~5 min. We went down to the reception at around 11:22 and were told we had to pay a one hour extension fee of 1000 yen. We were quite surprised as we were never informed of this during our stay and when the receptionist called she didn’t mentioned this either and we were under the impression that everything was fine if we just rushed down. We have stayed in many Japanese hotels throughout the years (including other Daiwa branches) and had on occasion checked out ~10-25 min late and had never had this happening. Obviously it was our fault for being late and we were happy paying the extension fee. However, if the hotel had strict check out timings it should inform the guests at the very start and we would have taken extra care to be down before 11. More importantly, when the receptionist called us to tell us to come down, she never mentioned we were going to get charged. Basically she rushed us out and charged us for a whole extra hour, when we asked if we could pay for half an hour since we were late for 20 something minutes she said no. Why kicking guests out at 20 something minutes when they are being charged for an additional hour? This is very unacceptable and we felt like the hotel was taking advantage of the situation to squeeze an extra dime out of us. Either you are more flexible in checking out times like the other Japanese hotels we stayed at or if you are going to be very strict with your cut off times you inform guests up front and if they are already going to be charged an one hour extension fee tell them they could stay till 12 instead of kicking them out at 20 something minutes. We emailed the hotel afterwards but the hotel replied twisting facts such as the receptionist spoke to us earlier at 11:08 (the phone rang but when we picked up it was hung up immediately) and that we arrived at the reception at 11:30 (I had the receipt of the payment of the extension fee with the time stamp of 11:26, and by that point we had already been talking with the receptionist for a while). We had no problem paying the 1000 yen but it is the whole experience and how we were treated that left a bitter taste in our mouth. Up until now Daiwa had been one of my favourite hotel chains in Japan and after this I’m never staying at another Daiwa again. We were going to book Daiwa again at other locations on this trip but booked other chains instead. What a way to lose a loyal customer and the many more nights of revenue we were going to bring to Daiwa in the future!

Standard big chain hotel. Rooms were clean. Beds were good. Staff weren't overly engaging but they aren't really paid to do that anymore anyway. Good location.

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.

The room is in big enough for 3 of us and it’s clean too. Located in the heart of Himeji and the Main Shopping street is just opposite the hotel. A good place to stay with kid and easy to get food and shop around.
