Great stay, excellent staff

Everything was great here! Just a heads up, there’s a ¥2,000 fee due upon arrival (it caught me off guard). However, the staff is fantastic, just like this beautiful city.

The staff was excellent and helped us to get our luggage transferred to our next hotel. The food and drink options at the cafe are excellent. The hotel itself is also quiet and has a nice communal kitchen and dining area. Overall, a great stay in a quiet area.
