Iida Holidays

This may be the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed at. Bamboo and a Zen garden in front, a pond in the rear with a view of a lush hillside topped by a castle . Adjacent to the large Urakuen garden. Rooms and lobby decorated in the most tasteful manner. Staff gave excellent service. Adjacent to a river walk and in walking distance to one of the oldest castles in Japan, a large Shinto Shrine, a historic castle street, and a railway station.

Excellent room, very spacious and great views from the tower. Very modern hotel. Only thing was it didn't have a bar so you had to leave the hotel to go for a drink. Staff were friendly and welcoming. There was an issue with parking though - we paid the fee at the hotel and then were charged again by the car park provider as none of the tickets the hotel provided to us worked (so cost over £70 for parking in the end). We were also stuck at the parking exit gate with a queue of cars behind so had no choice but to pay again. Also car park is a walk away and there isnt an easy place to stop near the hotel to unload luggage.

No plates or cutlery in rooms

Beautiful hotel and the location was great.

I stay at this hotel often, perfect location in the middle of Sakai next to Oasis 21 and the Tower. The staff is very friendly, with a few members who speak very good English. The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable with an amazing view of the city. This hotel is also located in the same building that host dozens of restaurants and cafes. On the 7th floor there’s an outside garden cafe with a great view of the city as well.
