Great location near city centre and metro station. Sparkling cleanliness all around. Only downside is breakfast may not be to liking of some guests as it is essentially a rice roll in a polystyrene box.

Staff are all nice and helpful. The only thing is the a/c unit wasn't adjusting to the temp set. It didn't get cold enough. But overall the place is decent.

Fantastic Rooms
The staff were very nice and helpful. The rooms were pretty small but I assume like the rest of places in Japan. It's clean and the neighboorhood is fantastic.

It was small but functional. I'm 6ft 2in and the bed was well big enough for me.
Rooms were quiet, dark and excellent air conditioning. Windows open as well for fresh air. Three lifts in building so no waiting unlinke some hotel chains.
To be within 50m of a station exit perfect if travelling. Staff spoke excellent english to help check in process. Would book again.

Very unpleasant visit the staff in the hotel was very rude also is hard to communicate with them, we request our room to be clean and after a very long day that we want to get rest in a clean room it was dirty. Also they are very racists they told us that we can’t eat in the lobby and all the other people was eating and they do not said anything to them. I will never back to that hotel and I never recommended to my friends or family

I liked the check in machines and lockers for storing small luggage. The beds were also very comfortable. I did not like the view of the next building's wall outside my window. I also didnt like the pathetic and dark lighting in the room that made me feel like i was going blind. More lights and brighter lights are needed. The free "breakfast" was also disappointing. I've hd better free breakfast options at hotels 1/3 of the price. They only offered 2 kinds of onigiri, miso soup and pickles. There were limited drink options and bad coffee. Basically the teaser poter for breakfast shows every single thing they offer. Theres also a 2 onigiri limit per guest. So... really its a free snack, not really breakfast. For the price i think they could go to a bit more effort.

I usually only report on hotels being extremely good or extremely poor. This place was an anomaly because some things were great, and other things bizarrely poor....
We started off on the wrong foot because check in time was 1500 and we arrived at 1300. They kindly took our bags while we went for a walk and got some food for lunch. When we returned we were told we were not allowed to eat while we waited for our room, but our room was ready if we wanted to go up. They then wanted 1000 Yen for checking in early so went ate our lunch outside while waiting for the last 30 minutes (even though our room was ready?)👎
Later on there was a really nice lady who helped us with our accommodation who was very friendly and professional 👍
The breakfast onigiri was dry and not very tasty- likely made the night prior and orange juice was orange cordial 👎
The room (and rest of hotel) was very clean 👍 but we had to move our suitcase around alot because the room was too small to open it 👎. There was also a kettle and coffee cups, but no coffee or tea 🤔👎.
The worst thing about the place, and reason we won't return, was because of the washing facilities. 2x washer/ dryer combos for the entire building. It took 2 days to get a washer available then our clothes were removed before they were dried because someone else wanted to use it. In hindsight, finding a place or on the street would have been better but we didn't expect staff to be handling my partner's panties before drying... 👎👎👎

Easy to find, very convenient and very close to the subway station especially if you’re carrying a lot of heavy luggage, this place is the place you want to be. Hotel is clean and staff are friendly and easy to approach. Always willing to help and our room is always clean and fresh everyday.

Brand new hotel with excellent facilities. The area is more of a business area and less convenient for shopping. Free breakfast is a great surprise though.
