The location is super as its right outside the Central Station. The breakfast was okay and the room size was fine. The downside: the hotel is a bit worn down. You can tell by the cracks/stains. The bed was super soft which Im not a fan of. Fortunately, I was tired enough to fall asleep. Someone - presumably the cleaning person - opened my door at 9 am. No knock, just striaght up opened the door which obviously startled me. The person immediately then closed the door. I think ita common courtesy to knock before entering. The front staff was overall nice with the exception of one lady who was very rude.
