second stay at this hotel, and still is a good value choice. Although a very business / working man's hotel with no restaurant, it's clean and very convenient to the train station, markets, stores, and food and a 20 minute walk to Himeji Castle. Room was surprisingly large and included a microwave and small sink. Washers and dryers on several floors is also a bonus, as well as vending machines for that late nite drink. Most inexpensive hotel in all my 16 day stay, but it's definitely not a 'cheap' feeling. If ever back in Himeji, definitely will consider staying here again.
