For the price this is an incredible steal. Conveniently located, clean, and the staff were extremely friendly. The only downsides are that the key system is a little outdated, there’s a midnight curfew, and the western beds are kind of stiff. But it’s also super peaceful and had a lot of privacy

It may look like a budgethotel at first for my European eyes, however the friendly staff give it a better experience than a 5-star European hotel. A very good start in Japan for me.
