The OneFive Okayama

We are a family of 5 with 3 young adult daughters, so we booked 3 rooms. Mattresses were comfortable and clean/functional bathroom. We liked the relatively low price for rooms and were pleasantly surprised when we returned from a day out sightseeing to find new towels in our rooms and the bins had been emptied. Also like how they have an assortment of complimentary things in the foyer that you can take if needed, eg. moisturiser, toothbrushes & toothpaste, razors etc. and bathrobes to use during your stay. It’s nice to have the use of microwaves in the foyer and free coffee.

Whilst the hotel is a bit away from the main station, it is right near the main tourist attractions of Okayama. Getting around is easy with a tram/trolley car right out front. There are many eating options and the local closed in shopping street is only about 150metres away. It is a good basic hotel but had the worst sound deadening of our trip....we were awake at 6am both mornings with doors slamming and people thumping around....the walls are thin!

The location is about as good as it gets; not that far from the main station and very close to tram stops, right next door to many of the best museums and tourist spots, and an area with loads of cool restaurants and bars. Staff were kind, check-in/out was easy. I liked that there was a self-service area on the ground floor for toiletries and things, seems less wasteful than placing them automatically in rooms.

Receptionist spoke good English and was very pleasant. The room is nicely equipped. They have a nice choice of toiletries in the lobby, much bigger than in some other hotels where we stayed and payed more. They had free coffee. The location is very good - near the castle and the gardens and about 20 min walk to the main station (there is also a tram and a bus that go to the station). Despite it is an older hotel it had a smart TV with Netflix.

The location is great, right next to the cable car and eight minutes drive from the Okayama station. There’s a convenience store next to the hotel. The Okayama castle the river and the beautiful garden were close to the hotel. There’s also some nice restaurants in the area. And the room was pretty big and nice. the washing machine and the dryer worked great.
