Top Mount Washu Observatory Hotel Reviews

Hotel Grand Cocoe Kurashiki

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, modern, clean and well maintained hotel. Room was a decent size. Would stay there again. We arrived at 12.30/1pm at it was a hard no for check-in. Came back at 2.45pm and a different staff member checked us in. Maybe the room wasn't ready or maybe hotel policy. It was the first time in a long time I have not had a hotel accommodate a slightly earlier check-in. Just be mindful if travelling with bags etc they have no storage area for luggage and its held in the lobby area."

Royal Park Hotel Kurashiki

8/10 Good

"Staff are very friendly and hotel is well maintained to a good standard. The bed can be quite hard if you’re not someone who prefers that style. The public bath is a lovely touch but can get crowded at busy times. A lounge on the top floor has views over the city and countryside beyond. A very good hotel in this area."
