Stayed with friends · For friends and family

Close to JR station and easy to go to other cities. Clean, but room is small and equipment seems out-date.

Fairly expensive for the price paid. Greedy on the buffet breakfast. Barely had food left at 8:30am when it is meant to go until 9:30 - last order at 8:10. Won’t recommend opting for the breakfast option. Receptionists were welcoming.

It was a comfortable stay in an older building. The desk was nice and large and wifi was decent as I had to do a little work. The location to the train was very convenient.

Solo stay

This is the worst hotel I have stayed in Japan. The room was musty and moist, the AC was not workin properly, I woke up at 1 am to 91 degrees. The bed was like laying on the floor.
