신쿠라시키역 × 웰컴 라운지에서 쉴 수 있는 숙소만족도 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

I’ve visited Kurashiki for sightseeing about three times, but this was my first stay at Royal Park. It’s close to Kurashiki Station, and the area around the station has Tenmaya Department Store, other shopping malls, and an outlet park, so you can buy souvenirs and enjoy plenty of restaurants for both lunch and dinner. Also, Shirakabe Street, the Bikan Historical Quarter, and the Ohara Museum of Art are all nearby, so I was able to take my time exploring on foot. The Hotel breakfast offers a wide variety of Japanese and Western dishes and was very delicious. This is a great-value Hotel. There are still many places in Kurashiki I haven’t visited yet, so I plan to avoid the hot summer season and stay here again.

I was a little worried because the building looked old, but it was fine. The room was clean and the meals were delicious. The location of the ryokan was also convenient enough to fully enjoy Kurashiki. I walked from the JR station to the property while pulling my suitcase, which felt a bit embarrassing. It might be nice if there were a pick-up service.

The welcome lemon water was delicious. Being able to enjoy it for free anytime was wonderful. The staff greeted us cheerfully, which left a great impression. The shower curtain rail wasn’t straight but curved outward, so the bathroom felt more spacious. It may be a small detail, but I really appreciated it.

I have stayed here several times, but it had been a while, so the front desk staff gave me a thorough explanation, which was easy to understand. The welcome drink service included Kurashiki’s delicious local sake “Ishichi,” and I enjoyed a small taste. Being able to enjoy the Onsen is unique to Super Hotel, and it was very relaxing and helped me recover from the day’s fatigue. Breakfast offered plenty of salads I liked, along with a wide variety of side dishes—everything was delicious. I would like to stay again.

It may vary by Room, but the TV placement was awkward, and it was hard to watch while lying in bed. However, it was nice that the TV supported streaming services such as TVer, FOD, and Netflix (login required). The layout of each Room had a lot of wasted space, and I felt it may not have been originally designed to be a Hotel.

The Facilities are complete and more than sufficient. It’s just a few minutes on foot to a huge 24-hour supermarket called Harows, and access to the downtown area is excellent. Recommended for savvy travelers who want to enjoy the local vibe at an izakaya, sleep well, and head out early the next morning. Despite its very “business hotel” look, it has a warm, domestic feel. For example, the large public bath changing area is stocked with fresh towels in multiple sizes with a note like “If you forgot yours, please feel free to use these,” and there’s even an elevator notice (with photos) saying “Two rental bicycles available.” Even if you don’t use them, just seeing these touches feels comforting. You can really sense the manager’s personality coming through.
