Himeji Station Universal Hotel South Exit

Himeji Station Universal Hotel South Exit

10/10 Excellent
"It was difficult to find the hotel because the only sign outside was in Japanese and the place looked deserted. A passer-by took us in and I was surprised to find everywhere in semi darkness, the reason being that we had entered just before check in. The room was spotless, warm and comfortable with both dinner and breakfast included on the price. "
