Nice hotel

Property is very very close to the station. Which is handy especially after a long day of walk. Breakfast is very limited and not worth of 1000 yen. We just got few things from family mart opposite to the hotel. Got daily towels changed. Overall nice stay

Very convenient location for transportation options. Japanese style room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast had a solid range of options but might not be good value for vegetarian guests. Free drinks in the lobby is a nice addition!

Excellent overall for the price! Convenient, clean and quiet. Does the job. Fantastic breakfast service for only 1000 yen that was better than many restaurants we went to Only thing that bothered me was that there is only one very cramped elevator so you are often crammed inside of it or waiting for a while before it clears up. There are stairs however

Nice simple and easy

Good room, clean, good amenities. Only downside was there was 1 lift for the whole hotel so spent lots of time waiting around for it. But the location was great and check in and luggage store was easy.
