Kurashiki Ivy Square

It was quaint as architecture. Not too majestic, not too elaborate, the walls themselves here and there are decorated with windows and wall thicknesses, and the framework is unusual. It made me think of the person who had the replica built from England. The employees are like good old-fashioned Western-style hotel staff, but they are good-tempered and friendly people from Okayama. Their presence made me glad. (That's the real pleasure of travel, I think) We went as a family and enjoyed the many types of the local food because we could choose different courses for each person（Ｓｕｒｐｒｉｓｉｎｇｌｙ!) If I lived nearby, I would definitely visit just for the ｂｒｅａｋｆａｓｔ ｂuffet time to time. The. room had peacefully and lively atmosphere during the ｂｒｅａｋｆａｓｔ. The selection and combination of food was so impressive. They were serving exquisitely seasoned dishes at the right time. The air conditioner worked well and quietly. I love the views and natural lights from the windows in and outside the buiding. (We stayed ont the ground floor)

Great hotel in a historic building right in the center of the historic neighborhood. Just steps from the canals, and all the shops and restaurants and museums and views that come along with it. The historic district was very cute and lively, and the hotel was perfectly located for it, and for a base for wandering around the city. The staff were also very professional and polite at all times.

Kurashki Ivy Square is a unique and attractive family-friendly hotel located on the edge of the lovely Bikan Historical District. Our room was roomy by Japanese standards, bright and cheery and well organized. The public baths are a nice addition.

A beautiful and unusual hotel (converted cotton mill) with high ceilings and unique decor, set in large grounds. Staff were exceptionally pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. The surrounding district is quaint and of historical interest with lovely shops, cafes, museums and art galleries. As pretty as Kyoto but without all the crowds!

We have found Japanese beds pretty uncomfortable in the main - always very very hard. These were not too bad...a little bit soft. The air con and heating was good and the room was reasonably spacious. The bathroom had the best lighting of anywhere we stayed ion ur Japanese trip. The laundry was fantastic - you could set a code on there machine so you could be sure that your items were safe. We had tried using the provided app for recommendations but when we got to recommended places - they were closed. Sp the next day we asked the staff for specific recommendations and for reservations and their suggestions were fabulous!
