Hostel Cuore Kurashiki, hotel in Kurashiki

Just a 10-minute walk from JR Kurashiki Station, Hostel Cuore Kurashiki is located in a historic Bikan district in Kurashiki. Each guest room features unique design and stylish interior.

This was a perfect stay. The facilities are clean and nice. This didn’t feel like a hostel at all. I really appreciated the sink in-room and women-only bathroom. And the lounge/restaurant area is very nice. Staff is helpful and friendly. Convenient location about a block from canal. Excellent value all-around.

DENIM HOSTEL float, hotel in Kurashiki

Located in Kurashiki and with Mizushima Ryokuchi Fukuda Park reachable within 10 miles, DENIM HOSTEL float provides a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a bar.

This place is located away from any major cities and towns. Very quiet and calm. I stayed in an ocean view Japanese style room. It was spacious for a single traveler and loved that they had a space to sit looking outside of the window.

Kamp Houkan-cho Backpacker's Inn & Lounge, hotel in Kurashiki

Only 1640 feet from JR Okayama Station’s west exit, Kamp Houkan-cho Backpacker's Inn & Lounge’s features a café with a live stage for DJs and other artists.

Bed was clean with crisp white sheets and pillow case. It was very wide and the lower bunk bed had a high "ceiling" so it didn't feel cramped at all. Toilets and bathrooms were clean and convenient. Security lock on room door and main door made me feel very safe. The lounge was lively and has a cool vibe. Location was not far from Okayama Station. Overall, good value for money.

    Great location, walking distance of few minutes from train station and close to the historic city centre. We have booked two rooms. Rooms were spotlessly clean and with all amenities one needs. We loved the onsen.

    Very cool hostel with a hipster style. I went off season so it was too quiet and I had the whole dormitory for myself. The breakfast (egg sandwich) with coffe/tea was very good.

    This is the best hotel we have ever stayed in. It was in a great location, close to the station, downtown & the historic area. It was totally sound proof, spotlessly clean & tastefully decorated. The amenities were of high quality & the snacks provided were generous & varied with a focus on local produce. Lastly, the staff were delightful & were truly committed to providing an excellent service. It was a truly memorable stay in Kurashiki.
