    Very convenient location in the Bikan Historical Quarter. The bar and restaurant downstairs has good vibes and is open until late.

    The wall paper had started to peel a little. And parking was a small walk away. That’s the only two things. Everything else was great.

    I’ve stayed at other hotels in kurashiki before that were around the same price. This one was unbelievably better. The location was amazing the food was delicious the room was huge and well furnished. It wasn’t a luxury hotel but I was blown away. Drastically exceeded my expectations. HUGE value for the price compared to other places in the area.

    It's far away from everything (convinience stores were like 30-40 min away by foot).

    The Ocean is directly at the Hotel with beach and a Pool. Everyone was very polite and helpful.

    A bit spooky because there was no one.

    Very cool hostel with a hipster style. I went off season so it was too quiet and I had the whole dormitory for myself. The breakfast (egg sandwich) with coffe/tea was very good.

    No space to cook. But on the plus side there was boiling water and a microwave

    Awesome location, breakfast with yoghurt and fresh sandwiches well worth the extra cost. The place itself felt very cool and room had a lot of privacy despite it being a dorm. Strong wifi connection in the room.

    It's a funny layout, a bit like a prison, with the central bit being a bit cold though there was a heater available. Quite a small hang out area that was full with a group when I wanted to use it, and it felt like the hostel bar I'd have to buy something in order to sit there. No kitchen, tap or kettle only a microwave and a hot water machine that was sometimes empty. The futon mattress felt very thin, definitely not good for sideways sleepers.

    Amazing location, cosy well designed rooms with lots of privacy and space in your "bunk" which was almost a tiny room. Very good showers and bathrooms. Friendly staff. Really nice bar downstairs though it feels separate from the rest of the hostel since you have to go out then in, so it's not like a typical hostel chill out area.

    The room seemed a bit expensive for the level of comfort (shared bathroom facilities, shared space and microwave in a covered outdoor space). There are no breakfast options for vegans.

    Very convenient location for visiting the Kurashiki Bikan historical quarter.

    Pricey, basically no common area aside from outdoor patio furniture/smoking area. Room super tiny and have to go outside to reach washroom. No where to store bags in room

    Location was central, washrooms were clean.

    My bed was closest to the corridor and sometimes I was able to hear other people talking and walking by

    The bed came with a heating blanket which was very nice The room was comfortable and the shared bathroom was very clean and came with various amenities Had some problem with the lighting in my bunk bed, but the staff was really helpful and sorted it out quickly

    A good accommodation for those who want to explore 倉敷美観地区!

    My room was situated quite far from the shared shower rooms and bathrooms. Additionally, the aisles were located in open spaces, making it cold to walk to the shared facilities in winter times.

    Hostel&Bar Cuore Kurashiki is an excellent choice for those looking to spend a leisurely day in 倉敷美観地区. Despite being a 15-minute walk from Kurashiki Station, it is very close to 倉敷美観地区. The staff members are friendly and accommodating, even assisting with luggage storage before check-in time. The room provided was spacious and clean, ensuring a comfortable stay.

    No complaints, though if I had to pick one thing, there was a lack of non-dairy milk.

    The staff were helpful, polite and friendly. The food for breakfast was very tasty, and the coffee was nice. The room was comfortable and decorated nicely, with a really nice shower.

    Cleaning needs to be a bit more thorough. Especially the bathroom where there was hair stuck on the walls and mold in the plastic sliders on glass shower doors and wall. Rest of the room was fine.

    Comfortable room in an apartment style building. Ours had a washing machine and cook stove along with utensils etc to prepare simple meals. Funky cafe/bar serving good simple breakfast or meals which we didn’t try.
