Reviews and Ratings
I must say the hotel room impressed me with its functional layout and very comfortable beds. However, it was small, which is common in Japan, but every piece of furniture had a purpose. On the downside, there were easily noticeable advertisements for adult TV programs. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff who even assisted me in delivering a package so I didn't have to go to the post office. The location was excellent, with easy access to public transportation and a variety of stores and restaurants nearby. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially the Japanese breakfast served. Overall, a great value for the price paid.
