This hotel has everything you need. Onsen, pool (was closed), 7-11, ATM, public laundry area, etc. the room is cleaned everyday. Very small but they provide everything you need. There’s no view, your view will be internal building. So it’s a place just to sleep and go out to explore. Close to the station.

Lifts can be busy at times.particularly a problem when people have lots of luggage Given that there seems to be a sizeable non-Japanese customer base, the stance on tattoos in the pool & public bath needs changing, or give time slots at least. The room size is typical of Japanese hotels has pretty much all you need

The elevators are the worst I've ever experienced. We waited 12 minutes on the 32nd floor for an elevator, watching elevators go past our floor without stopping. We eventually pressed the Up button, thinking it was worth going all the way up and back down. Within seconds an empty car stopped on our floor and took us straight down to the lobby. Being in Japan, we knew to expect small rooms. These are extremely small and the windows have a film covering, so you have no natural light or view. The bathrooms were typical, but the double beds are squeezed up against the window wall with approximately 6 sq feet of walking space in the room. Great service with towels and extra coffee/tea/bathroom supplies. Don't use the dryers in the laundry, they DO NOT dry anything. We watched one man use ¥2000 and still had wet clothes. Service was good, but used self check-in, so opinion may be biased ;)

The room smelled awful on arrival, went out for lunch and odor had subsided thankfully. House keeping was a little rude when I wasn’t awake when they arrived at 11am. I know that’s not early but when you stay out until 6am partying with locals, sleeping till 12pm sounds pretty good.

This property was nearly perfect. It's new and clean and the onsen was a great experience. We loved having the 7-11 in the building and being on a high floor meant it was quiet (noise is a huge issue in these large cities). The rooms are super small (as to be expected), but the beds are a little higher and allow for your suitcase to go underneath! A few pieces of advice: 1) get your breakfast the night before as they restock later in the morning and somethings will be unavailable, 2) Laundry machines can get busy at night so plan to do it mid-day maybe when you arrive. 3) The line for luggage storage is super long in the morning as well as using the elevators at 10am when people are required to checkout. Plan accordingly.
