合理的な視点で使えるホテル

最近、フランチャイズでシンプルホテルが増える中、独自に頑張っている感じで応援したくなるホテルです。 部屋は清潔で、朝食はとても美味しかったです。 高級ホテルではないですが、最上階の展望風呂、姫路城へのアクセス、直ぐ近くの繁華街等を考慮すれば、観光、飲食、接待でも合理的な視点で使えるホテルです。 また、使わせて頂きます。

家族連れに適したホテル

家族連れに適した和室が有ります。部屋の中にトイレ、バスは有ります。屋上階には狭いですが浴場が有ります。 姫路駅から地下道を歩いて6分くらいの近さです。 朝食付きなら、和食か洋食を選べます。どちらも美味しいです。

ビジネスには最適。

JR姫路駅より徒歩圏にあり、周囲に飲み屋が多く女性一人での深夜の外出は注意が必要かと思えた。設備は少し古かったが寝具がよく、大浴場があり設備は良いかと思う。また、大浴場にマッサージチェアがあり無料で利用できるのがよかった。
