ROYAL PARK HOTEL KURASHIKI

Amazing well furnished and clean room. Hotel is new and feels very clean and polished. Booked for $70/night and it’s worth it 😊

New beautiful hotel very close to the station (5 min walk) in a great location in the middle of restaurant and downtown area. The rooms are tiny so it’ll be just a place to sleep as you can hardly open a large suitcase, but the hotel has a nice lounge on the top floor. The room is super clean and has a fridge as well as a small electric kettle to make tea. This room had a full bathroom with a large bathtub but we preferred going to the big bathroom upstairs. When I stayed at a smaller room on another day, it only had a shower so it seems to differ by type of room. The breakfast set needs to be purchased separately but we thought it was worth it. The hot dish alternates between Western and Japanese style on a daily basis, and the buffet had all kinds of dishes including a very yummy Japanese style curry. Also, the lounge had a great terrace with an amazing view of the surrounding hills. In overall, it was a very pleasant and enjoyable stay to the extent we ended up extending our stay for a few days.

Lovely clean hotel with nice staff and tasty breakfast

The Royal Park Kurashiki is a stylish hotel in the center of Kurashiki. It is only 5-10 min walk from the Kurashiki station. If you have a car, you can park at the hotel parking which costs ¥1000 per night, or at any of the nearby parking lot which is similar in price. Upon entering the hotel, one will be attracted by the stylish lobby, wine bar, and the pool table which are all for the guests use. Check- in could be done via the machine and there are staff who are ready to assist. We had the twin room on the upper level, and while the room was not too spacious, it does have a nice view of the town. The sofa is beautifully covered by a lovely fabric done by local craftsmen. The bed was soft and comfortable, and there was even a gift made with local fabric in the toilet for the guests. Breakfast is served on the top floor which commands a fantastic view of Kurashiki. There is a good variety of Japanese and western dishes available as with most good hotels in Japan. The shopping street has a selection of restaurants and shops, and will lead directly to the Bikan area after walking about 10 minutes. I would highly recommend this hotel for those looking for convenience and stylish design in Kurashiki.

Overall a nice hotel with about 8 mins walk from the Kurashiki station. It is also near the Kurashiki canal so you can catch both the day and night views. There is also a bathtub in the toilet like most Japanese hotel and you can collect comb, cottons, shower cap etc for your bathing.

This hotel wants to give more unique experience with daily drinks sampling, onsen, Amenity Kit and great breakfast experience.

Service was amazing. I was able to leave my luggage with a personalized code lock in a separate room prior to check in. The staff member drew on a map to let me know the things I would like to see and how to best get there. Turns out she did a brief study/work trip in Toronto so we had something in common to talk about. Other members were just as friendly, even without knowing English and very patient with my limited Japanese. I will go out of my way to stay here in the future.

Good location, 5 mins walk form JR station.easy to access the Bikan area. The room with stylish design and enough comfortable space for single or couple traveller.

Surprising gem.
