The hotel is clean and tidy and conveniently situated. Unfortunately, its very expensive for what you get. No tea making facilities, iasked for a kettle and a mug but was told no mugs, i had to go and buy one. I asked for bottled water and was told only one bottle a day and only given out after 3pm. The breakfast was one small roll full of lettuce and a small paper cup of coffee, only one cup per person, no fill ups! This hotel is not cheap and there are so many more friendly and for a better price. Look elsewhere.

Best budget hotel! It was so clean, and organized. I saw staff even using a lint roller on the sofa in the lobby, which tells me they pay attention to detail and cleanliness. The rooms were very clean, the cleanest in my stay of 3 different hotels in Japan. I felt very comfortable there. I would 10/10 stay here again. The staff were very nice too. I appreciated all the amenities in the lobby and room. It was such a peaceful stay and I would stay here again

The stay itself was pleasant. I had a membership number, but was told I had no points or benefits because the reservation was not made through the hotel website. I would appreciate it if you could add something like other hotel chains do. There were not enough choices of breakfast items, and there was only jam and no butter. In Japan, people eat salad in the morning, but not in the West. Needs improvement.

Nice and inexpensive

This place was great and a 2 minute walk from the train station. Very new and very nicely clean and comfortable. The only negative was the free breakfast which bordered on awful. Inexpensive to boot. Highly recommended!
