Hinasecho Hinase Hotels from S$27

"**Negatives: *What an insanely uncomfortable bed....and I was in a "Comfort" cabin or some such. (I'd hate to try the "standard" or "economy" rooms.) *The hand soap by the sink reeked of Old Spice ("Oblivious Old Man" scent) and the body wash in the shower stank of Irish Spring -- and those are two smells that I would rather NOT be reminded of. *I was ready for a small, noisy room -- I bought two pairs of noise-cancelling earphones, after all -- but sitting on the bed made my backside hurt. *With the bed ruled out, there ~was~ a mini-sofa and a small table that I might have used to work on my laptop, but the room was so tiny, its limited space was a toss-up between the table and my suitcase -- and there was nowhere else to put my suitcase. *When I checked in, I got a sheet of paper telling me I'd have to vacate from 10am to 3pm every day, but that was never enforced. I guess the hotel's keeping that little restriction in the back pocket or something. (Ugh.) But if I WERE to vacate....where I would go? There's no lounge in the hotel. (Not on the one floor I could access, anyhow.) Ugh, what a miserable stay. **Neutral: *Any reviews suggesting this place is "close to Okayama Station" are confusing the train station with the nearby tram stop; Okayama Station is an 18min walk away, according to Google Maps. **Bright spots: The toilets were new, clean and worked great. The showers were pretty nice, although the blow-dryers in the shower room were dusty and a bit foul. "

"Friendly staff."

"Reasonal Hotel. I love it. I will stay again. "

"Great hotel, second time I've stayed here. Excellent value for money in Okayama. Walkable to Castle and garden. Good shopping and food options within a short walking distance."

"This is a completely new facility in an old warehouse district of Sakate on Shodoshima. Right on the water, the views from the hotel are stunning. The staff is courteous, helpful, and professional. The rooms are spacious, with sitting areas and balconies, but also a bit quirky in design. We had one dinner at the hotel and two breakfasts. The food was excellent--and reasonably priced. I would happily return to this hotel, given the opportunity."

"Had a good sleep👍there. Definitely did not get disappointed in every way. Recommended 👍"

"Very comfortable hotel. 10 minutes walking from the station. The beds are very comfortable. The room is spacious. Older style bathroom with a hand held shower in the bath tub. Staff were great. There is a convenience store attached to the lobby. "

"Stayed two nights and it was perfect for me. The breakfast wasn't anything special, and the hotel itself is showing some wear and tear, but the room was clean and comfy and just what you'd expect from this kind of hotel. "
