It was the worst experience when I stayed in Japan. The room is very small, and there is no furniture, no phone. The service was terrible and significantly reduced in the name of environment protection. This hotel is marked as 4 stars in Expedia, but it is only two stars actually. I don't recommend this hotel to anyone.

The hotel has such a hip vibe and is in convenient location near Nishiki market. The hotel staff were very kind. The room was interesting but not that practical as the limited floor space was wasted and the beds in the double room 602 are actually on the floor. The bathroom was amazing, but we did have a toilet issue which they kindly issued a new room and breakfast voucher until it was solved.

Overall, the stay was good. The room could use a fresh coat of paint, and the toilet wasn’t completely clean, there were some spots on the wall. Aside from that, the location is fantastic, the staff are excellent, and the complimentary daily cocktail is a great touch.
