Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious rooms, especially in Japan, and the reliable WiFi connection. It was nice to have instructions on how to use the amenities. However, the lack of a view was a bit disappointing, though the room was well-appointed and slightly smaller than ideal.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, a helpful and friendly service, an excellent location with easy access to stores and transportation, and an average dining experience with room for improvement in food options for specific preferences.
The hotel had a room that appeared small and old despite its exterior look. However, it provided no drawers but offered enough space to access our luggage easily with only a double bed available. On the bright side, it was conveniently located near restaurants, convenience stores, and both bus and subway stations.
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and up-to-date rooms which had good amenities. The hotel is located just a few blocks away from the metro station, making it convenient for transportation links. The dining experience was average with limited options, but the complimentary bread was a nice touch.
The hotel is in a convenient spot with easy access to local attractions. The room had some initial issues but overall provided adequate space. The service was friendly and helpful. The dining options may not suit all tastes, but the facilities were satisfactory for a reasonable price.
The hotel offers spacious rooms, a smart phone with 4G for guests to use, and a convenient location near public transport. While the room size might be a concern for some, the cleanliness and smoke-free atmosphere with windows open create a comfortable stay.
The hotel rooms felt wonderfully large after the cramped spaces of Tokyo hotels, the staff was extremely helpful, but the rooms were too small and old in reality. The location was definitively good with easy access to transportation and amenities, although the dining options were limited. Overall, a mixed experience with notable strengths and weaknesses.
The hotel was quiet, clean, and comfortable, offering a great location near subway and major bus stops. The service was friendly and helpful, making our stay pleasant. However, the dining experience was rather disappointing with a bit of steep pricing. The lack of a microwave in the room was surprising but did not greatly affect our overall comfort.
