Hotel Alpha-One Himeji Minamiguchi

The hotel is very close to the station, but the room is very quiet. I'm not sure if the staff speaks English - my modest knowledge of Japanese was enough for communication. The young employee, a trainee, spoke Japanese that was understandable to me and she was very positive and hospitable. The names of the dishes at breakfast are written only in Japanese. I've never stayed in a hotel with a ladies' floor, so out of curiosity I booked a room there. Luckily, there was no riot of pink, haha. Upon check-in, I received a ladies' amenity set. There is also a table mirror with lighting in the room. Very convenient! The room is quite big, a comfortable table lamp.

The room only had regular power sockets, I lacked a USB socket. At breakfast, the floor next to the drinks machine was sticky. There was some kind of fabric in the trouser press.
