Hotel Fosse Himeji

Location was great

Staff wasn’t the friendliest and the beds were hard as a rock

Friendly staff;A 10 minute walking distance from Himeji Station;

TV room has only paid program

Good yakitori pub just around the corner. Very conscientious staff and excellent service! Thank you.

Bed was kind of hard and uncomfortable. Can I have a free coffee in the room?

Very easy access from train station

We were given smoking rooms that did definitely smell a lot. We wanted alternative even paying more but staff did not want to consider.

The location was great and easy to find

I could not prepay and even though paying by card was an option, it didn't work so I had to head to an ATM for cash. The bathroom looked clean but had a funny moldy smell. The room was clean at a glance, but as we sat there we started to notice dirt and stains. Plus the fridge did not work

Quiet place, no one would bother you. Good privacy. The two male staff rotated at the reception were very polite and knew a little English. There is a coin launderette with rates cheaper than nearby hotels.

Toilets were tiny and the flushing system was quite noisy. Only one key was issued and it had to be handed to the front desk when going out the hotel. Lighting was very dim in the rooms, giving a love hotel vibe. Not a suitable place for kids or to do some actual work on your laptop. There was a lot of dust on the ledge above the headboard the first day we checked in. We wiped it down with wet wipes. One of the ladies on duty in the afternoon looked very nonchalant at the reception. The only form of communication she gave was nodding and shaking her head.

Everything. A little chill hotel for a good price and not far from Himeji Castle. It's also really clean and the personnel were respectful and nice.

Good location, convenient, clean (a little dusty but nothing major)

Only thing is the window opens the whole way up to the point you could climb/fall out. Not easily but could be done by a young kid potentially.

Loved the room, it was very comfortable and the staff were all so lovely. It was central location which was a big plus for us.

The features of a business hotel were available including a microwave near reception. We could easily walk to a supermarket to pick up food to eat in. Also, we were able to walk comfortably to the Castle and train station. There was a slightly higher than usual step up into the bathroom which is OK for us but could be a challenge for someone with impaired mobility.

The name of the hotel wouldn't come up in English on Google Maps. We had to take it on faith that we were going to the correct location - we were. We are used to the names of the hotels showing in English and often Japanese as well which is reassuring. Not sure if that is the result of the hotel's choice or Google Maps.

The room and the bathroom were comfortable and spacious. From the window, we could see the castle.

There was too much dust on the furniture.

It is well located. since it is really close to himeji station, I could go to osaka, hiroshima and kyoto relatively easy.

Close to everything , walking distance from most places

I didn’t realise I had a smoking room , I didn’t remember seeing any options marked smoking or non smoking

Location is close to Himeji station and lots of Izakaya’s. Very Easy walk to Himeji Castle as well whilst enjoying the sights. Rooms are a nice size and quiet. Staff helpful and friendly and was great we could store bags well before checkin.

The room is really good for 2 people, also the location is great, close to the train station.

Maybe the bed is a bit hard but for 1 night was ok

Value for money with good facilities including in house coin laundry

Location may be a bit challenging if we have more than one luggage

The small double (non-smoking) room was great value for money. It is exactly as advertised - small, but it has everything you need and was spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable and had a great night sleep. The staff were very friendly, available and happy to help at any time, and a late checkout is offered until 12pm. The location is a 15 minute walk to himeji castle, 5 minutes to the train station, and right in what seemed to be the central area of Himeji (public transport also seems to be available everywhere but we preferred to walk) Fantastic location and great value for money. We would stay there again and can recommend highly.

It's very well located

Slightly dirty, the rug felt old and smelled, there was an ash tray so probably wasn't smoke free as advertised

great facilities and wonderful staff, on site coin laundry and dryers were very good quality and very good value

The location worked perfectly. It was central to everything we wanted to see and do, within easy walking distances.

The windows had no weather stripping so that the wind howled inside the room. The hotel is on a noisy busy street and the sound came through the windows. The elevator door closed too quickly before we were completely inside and hit us twice!
