I continue to have good experiences with this chain of hotels. I made a reservation online for a double room because I couldn’t see that any singles were available, so when I arrived to check in at the front desk, I asked for a single and the staff quickly changed my reservation to a single on the spot. I saved ¥3000. I’ve stayed in numerous APA hotels and I’ve never stayed in a dirty one. Always well taken care of. A very good deal for the price.

The hotel was lovely and the staff were super friendly, patient and accommodating but however, once my partner and I walked out of the elevator, we got a big smell of cigarette smoke and we were told that our room was a non-smoking room so no had feelings about the level smelling like cigarette smoke but once we got into the room, the smell continued and I unfortunately can not handle the smell of cigarette smoke anymore so when we were just relaxing in the room, I would become heavily nauseous and I would continue to be nauseous until I went to sleep but the smell stayed so I have also woken up still nauseous. Because of this experience, I probably wouldn’t stay at this hotel again only because of the cigarette smoke smell like I don’t know what the ventilation system is like but I would like that if there was smoking rooms, you would have them all on the same level so people that don’t smoke can get away from it. I enjoyed my experience overall, just wish the room didn’t smell like cigarettes smoke and with reading other reviews, I didn’t see a point in beginning it up as all the levels could smell like this if there is a smoker near a non smoking room due to the ventilation system.

APA Hotel’s interior stands out with clean, well-lit, and polished common areas that feel modern without being overdone. The staff are helpful and professional, making the stay smooth overall. The location is a big plus—just a short walk from Himeji Station and Himeji Castle, with plenty of nearby dining and convenience options. Overall, it’s a reliable, well-located hotel that’s comfortable and practical for repeat stays.

APA Hotel Himeji is a good budget hotel that isn't too far from the train station. The closer locations will cost more. There isn't much to write home about about APA Hotels in general and this one was nothing special. The room was clean, it wasn't spacious. The staff was friendly. You get what you pay for more or less. It was quite a walk to Himeji Castle from here and it wasn't that close to much of the nightlife either, so besides departing, I didn't really care for the hotel too much and probably would skip it in the future.

Great location not too far from the train station and good for those on budget. We stayed one night. The room was clean for the most part, but the wood desk in the room was dusty and it showed by morning. The noise level is quiet. Room size was small as expected, but big enough for luggage and bags. Staff is friendly and they have free baggage storage for both arrivals and departures - so good for those looking to leave their bags before hading to Himeji Castle or other attractions. Hotel Wi-Fi worked very well and I enjoyed the shower quality as well. There were plenty of plugs to charge our devices. Beds are firm, but fine for me. Overall, A-OK for those on a budget looking for a quick trip to Himeji. I recommend it.

APA hotel normally is quite small, but this Himeji APA hotel is quite spacious, may be due to there is no space under the bed for putting luggage like other APA hotel. Same standard as other APA hotel, this hotel is very clean and have very comfortable bed.

To visit Himeji Castle, I stayed at this hotel. The room facility was no frill, but the cost was only ¥5000 for that night. No complaint.

This is about a 5 to 10 minute walk from the station and about another 10 minute walk from Himeji Castle. It us quite centrally located for the town's major attraction and nearby shopping arcade for dining and what not. I booked a non smoking room and while jt likely is designated as such I could smell hints of tobacco when I entered the room upon returning. Whats worst was waking to the sudden smell of tobacco. I am not sure if someone is smoking outside my room and it just traveled in as I was on the 6th floor or they smoked in their room and it transferred via the shared vents. My guess is theres a tourist that was smoking at the end of the halls where my room was and it drifted in. If you have a sensitive nose for this, you'll be abruptly woken up.
