Hotel Grand Cocoe Kurashiki

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, modern, clean and well maintained hotel. Room was a decent size. Would stay there again. We arrived at 12.30/1pm at it was a hard no for check-in. Came back at 2.45pm and a different staff member checked us in. Maybe the room wasn't ready or maybe hotel policy. It was the first time in a long time I have not had a hotel accommodate a slightly earlier check-in. Just be mindful if travelling with bags etc they have no storage area for luggage and its held in the lobby area."
