Hotel is conveniently located, just 5 mins walk from JR station and only takes about 20 mins to get to Himeji Castle. Staff were friendly and helpful, free late-night ramen and onsen were good as always, but the hotel is a bit dated and some facilities in my opinion are starting to get old and dirty, for example certain parts of the onsen as well as the washing machine. The hotel should do some major cleaning in the future.
