Splendid! I did not expect much from the reviews but it was the cleanest, no odor, quiet, nicer and straight forward hotel I've booked. Also, cheapest! Accessible to subways, buses, walks, few good restaurants around, and close to nishiki market. The room was small as most Japan hotels but very solo traveler friendly!
