Very convenient for all the attractions. Has a good onsen.

No complaints, perhaps another option of pillow would be nice though. I prefer something much thinner than was offered.

Wonderful setting on the edge of the Bikan historical district. Nice spacious rooms and plenty of amenities. The public bath was simple but the jacuzzi pool was a nice touch - my tattooed travel companion could enjoy the nice tub in our room. Very quiet thanks to the location and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Ideal location. Right in the middle of historic area of Kurashiki. Room compact but it’s what I booked. Bathroom worked well for what I describe as Japanese pod style. Staff happy to store bags on our early arrival.This is an extremely well kept hotel with a beautiful courtyard area.

Stayed in June 2025

No real coffee available at the restaurant and limited drink options at the bar near the courtyard as they only sell wine.

Fantastic location, very pretty property and very friendly staff. Delicious degustation/set menu dinner at the restaurant- superb!

Lovely room with super comfortable beds and great shower facilities. Also a cute goody bag for our toddler on arrival.

Very hard to find open restaurants at night as some shut certain days and meant for long walks to find one open.

Central location and easy walks to the canal, tourist attractions and undercover mall.

Lovely location near shopping and restaurant. Nice onsen and breakfast in hotel. Very clean rooms.

The room was a little small. The bar on site didn’t open till 8pm. There was a lovely courtyard that was a perfect place for an afternoon/pre dinner drink but nowhere to buy it!!

It’s position in the old town. The fact it was a repurposed factory. The shops etc that were part of the Square.

Stayed in May 2025

The square seemed to close down very early - the wine bar (which we know isn't actually part of the hotel)with lovely al fresco tables during the day, shut around 5pm and the hotel bar, although it said open till 9pm wasn't open either. This meant an early night for us once we'd eaten!

Perfectly positioned in the heart of old Kurashiki and a short walk from the station. Ivy Square is a collection of old red brick buildings that were previously a factory and the hotel is integrated into this. Staff were efficient and the room was fine for a short stay, although rather small and perhaps lacking some of the finer touches we've had in other hotels during our trip. Perhaps a little updating generally in all areas would be an improvement as it is rather staid.

Probably the best hotel we stayed in during a 3 week tour of Japan. Beautiful rooms and public spaces, great location on the edge of the historical quarter of Kurashiki. Excellent breakfast. Really helpful recetption staff. A great stay - thank-you.

The rooms are clean, modern, and well-equipped. The staff are consistently courteous and helpful. The hotel is conveniently located near attractions making it an excellent base for exploring the area. The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of fresh options. There is an onsen the hotel. The hotel also provide drinking water.

The breakfast, while generous and plentiful, did not catter for European taste. No cereals and no bread, which made it less useful than we thought it would be to 8nclude breakfast.

The family room was clean and new, with plenty of electrical outlets and lights, but its interior was of the same standard as anywhere else, and the contrast with the original building made them feel even more unsettled. The family room was spacious, but most of the floor was covered with hard carpet and we had to keep our shoes on, so it was a bit difficult for us to relax.

It was quaint as architecture. Not too majestic, not too elaborate, the walls themselves here and there are decorated with windows and wall thicknesses, and the framework is unusual. It made me think of the person who had the replica built from England. The employees are like good old-fashioned Western-style hotel staff, but they are good-tempered and friendly people from Okayama. Their presence made me glad. (That's the real pleasure of travel, I think) We went as a family and enjoyed the many types of the local food because we could choose different courses for each person（Ｓｕｒｐｒｉｓｉｎｇｌｙ!) If I lived nearby, I would definitely visit just for the ｂｒｅａｋｆａｓｔ ｂuffet time to time. The. room had peacefully and lively atmosphere during the ｂｒｅａｋｆａｓｔ. The selection and combination of food was so impressive. They were serving exquisitely seasoned dishes at the right time. The air conditioner worked well and quietly. I love the views and natural lights from the windows in and outside the buiding. (We stayed ont the ground floor)

Very characterful hotel set in one of the areas historic buildings. Position couldn't have been better as it was right next to the historic area of Kurashiki

Stayed in April 2025

Breakfast buffet offers variety of food and drinks, fresh fruits and salad. Loved their local milk. Only downside is there’s limit in time for 45 minutes per table. Wish we could have at least for an hour. Bit pricier than other hotels but location is superb.

Right on Kurashiki Bikan district, excellent location. Room is clean, modern and quiet. Staff is friendly and great customer service.

My room had a funky smell, like it might have been a smoking room at one time, but that was not a big issue.

Excellent hotel! I pretty much traveled to Japan specially for this hotel. I loved my stay and will definitely come back. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a great accommodation.

What an elegant, comfortable and welcoming place to stay ! The hotel and restaurant staff were so kind to me. I didn’t want to leave ! I loved the public bath, the breakfast buffet and the exceptional dinner I had in the restaurant ! I also loved the sleek and comfortable room I stayed in and the central location in the Bikan district. I feel very lucky to have experienced Kurishiki from the comfort of the Ivy Square hotel ! Many thanks to your amazing staff !
