We loved our stay in Kurashiki at Yoruya. It’s a small, intimate hotel located on the edge of the Bikan Historical Quarter, within quick walking distance yet slightly removed and quiet (at least when we were there).
The service level and attention to detail were top notch. All the staff we encountered were courteous and helpful and made us immediately feel at home. Upon arrival, our bags were whisked from the taxi and we were offered a personal and attentive check-in.

I stayed at the Kyoto Via Inn before and had great impression, so I booked the Okayama Via Inn as well. However, the hotel is convenient as it is connected to the train station but there's a restroom smell in my room and full of black mold around the window that makes me feel quite uncomfortable.

Front desk was very helpful in switching my reservation from a smoking to a non-smoking room. Rooms were decently clean, and the location is conveniently located near Okayama station.

Room was clean, comfortable and relatively spacious. Breakfast was very good and lots of options. Location was great. Train station, castle, canal road, mall and restaurants all in walking distance. Highly recommend.

The hotel is basic and unpretentious yet everything you need is there. Clean and efficient. The staff were all helpful and friendly. Less than 2 blocks from the train station. Only steps away from a huge mall, as well as a local market. Check in and check out were quick and easy. The breakfast buffet is quite good and worth the additional charge.

Nice lobby and small but nice room. Comfortable beds. Clean bathroom. Good breakfast in traditional hall. A nice hotel in the best location to see the Bikan Quarter.

Great stay. Room had everything I needed & was clean/comfortable. Staff made hospitality clear even when our common vocabulary was limited. Close to shopping/dining/public transportation & also walkable. I extended my stay!

we love staying here it was right next to the train station and a great little ramen shop. there were other businesses nearby such as a Lawson's and some other restaurants. it was about a 5 minute walk to the mall. the beds were great and the room was large. bedroom 301 we absolutely loved it and would stay there again
