Reviews and Ratings
I found this hotel to be a mixed bag. While the rooms were small but perfect for light travelers like me, clean, comfortable, and functional, the location was not as great as I expected. It's surrounded by restaurants and shops, which is convenient, but a bit awkward for those relying on public transport. The service was friendly and attentive overall, though a bit late in responding to specific queries. The dining experience was awesome, offering a range of Japanese, Chinese, and European selections. Despite some drawbacks, the value for money was decent.

The hotel room was spacious compared to Japanese standards, but the decor and lack of free coffee made it a bit uninspiring and cramped. However, the room cooled down quickly, which was a good feature.
