CABIN INN Himejiekimae

Booked solo for overnight stay to leave for Kinosaki onsen the next morning. Kind staff and had little occupancy. First time capsule hotel and very happy with experience of shared amenities. Infront of the beds are cable locks provided for luggage and bags.

It's close to the station. It's only been a few years since it was renovated. It's relatively easy to use. Perfect for solo travelers.

It's conveniently located just a minute or two walk from Himeji Station. I stayed here for three nights. The price was around ¥3,700 per night, with a discount for consecutive stays applied, bringing it down to around ¥3,400 per night. *Prices may vary depending on the time of year and the website you use. Prices are for reference only. The front desk is on the 7th floor of the building, and this is the first floor you visit. Since I had made a reservation in advance, I provided my name, filled out my accommodation card, and handed over my card key (which includes a card for unlocking the entrances and exits when moving between floors and a key for the lockbox in my space). My check-in was complete. ... There are shoe lockers right inside the building. Place your shoes in the locker with the same number as your space and change into simple slippers. Shoes are prohibited inside the building. (The shoe lockers have locks, and you use the keys that come with your card.) The space is single-size and just over one meter high. There's a TV and one outlet and one USB port. A three-prong power strip is also convenient. Bath towels and face towels are provided in the space. New ones are provided daily for multiple-night stays. There's one hanger inside the locker. A backpack-sized item can fit inside. Thick items may be difficult to fit. Wire locks are provided in the hallways for carry-on luggage. Each floor has showers, toilets, and washrooms. There are four or five shower rooms. Shampoo, conditioner, and body soap are provided. The sixth floor has a lounge with an all-you-can-drink coffee machine, tea, and other beverages, as well as vending machines, microwaves, and a smoking room. It's an affordable and comfortable stay. It's conveniently located near the station and right in the downtown area, so you'll have no trouble finding somewhere to eat or drink. Himeji Castle is also just a short walk away. One thing that bothered me was that the mats in the space were a little thin. It felt like I was touching the floor, just a little. Only a little, really. It might just be my own issue. Also, the lounge is on the 6th floor, and it's on the same floor as an izakaya, so the waiting customers can be a little noisy. They're waiting near the entrance to the lounge, making it difficult to get in, and the automatic doors sometimes react to the lounge's automatic doors and take a long time to close, which can be a bit annoying. Overall, the value for money was good and the facilities were clean, so I had a comfortable stay. I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.
