Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The hotel staff were polite and very welcoming. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. However, the hotel is located in a small alley, so it’s a bit of a walk to the nearest subway and bus stops, as well as to the closest convenience store. The in-room amenities were limited—basic items were provided, but there were no more detailed touches such as hair ties, a comb, or bath salts. The coffee in the lobby wasn’t very good, and there were no other welcome drinks available. Additionally, the refrigerator in the room did not have a freezer function, so it wasn’t possible to store ice cream. Overall, it is a comfortable hotel that meets basic needs. Thank you for the hospitality.

Not very good English at front desk

Must prepaid the whole stay, meaning you cannot move out even you are not happy with the hotel in the early stay. Difficult to communicate with front desk for in English for assistance. Better to Google.

Compact room but great use of the space. I appreciated the mini fridge, slippers and night gown that were free to use with the room. There was also a microwave in the lobby along with free coffee. I communicated just fine with the staff in English, they were accommodating for storing luggage early before checkin. The lobby was nicely decorated. I love the giant stone/moss ball.

朝食にいろいろな種類のおにぎりをその場で作ってくださった。とてもおいしかった。 ビジネスで宿泊しホテルでPC作業が必要で机がなくて困った。小さなサイドテーブルはあったが仕事をするにはテーブルが小さ過ぎた。その他は満足でした。
