Hotel Monterey Himeji

This hotel is right next to Himeji train station, so you don't need a taxi / bus to reach it from the train station. The room and as well as the entire hotel was very clean, the staff helpful. We had a standard room with a super-sized bed (2.5 m large and 2.2 m long). I could fit a family with 1 or 2 small kids. Due to this large bed there wasn't much space left in the room. The room was rather quiet. At night one could hear the freight trains is awake, but nothing which would be annoying. There are plenty of restaurants nearby so you can enjoy your stay in Himeji! The hotel had coin laundry as which we used as well as a public bath which we didn't visit.

This property’s location can’t be beat. It’s literally right outside the train station by the bus terminal, which are both attached to a shopping mall and bounded by several pedestrian shopping streets full of quaint shops and restaurants. It’s a 20-minute stroll on foot to Himedji Castle too, which can be seen from the front of the train station—very easy to find. The rooms are large and comfortable and the property will graciously store your luggage. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

The room was very spacious, and we had lots of room to move about in. The beds were marvelous! Comfy and huge!! We have a king bed at home, and this was even bigger! The bathroom was a good size, and the shower was perfect. We used the onsen, and it was quite lovely and very clean. Private lockers and amenities are available. The location was a quick walk to the station, and within walking distance of the castle, gardens, shops, and restaurants. Staff were very efficient and helpful. Great esthetics as well. The hotel feels quite luxurious but doesn't cost the moon.

Hotel is right next Himeji station which is very convenient. Staff almost all spoke English which was very helpful to me.

Great value for money. Centrally located right next to main station and shops and pleasant walking distance to castle (which is spectacular). Staff very professional and friendly. Room large and actually had a wardrobe and desk/dressing table plus small table and chairs. This was the most furnished room we had in our entire stay in Japan. Tea station in the lobby - was nice to take a warm fruit tea to the room after a long day out.
