The location was good enough and convenient for getting around. The room was more spacious than most hotel rooms in Japan, which we really appreciated. Having a washing machine inside the room was also a great feature. Since we usually ate out, this was not an issue for us, but guests planning a longer stay and intending to cook may find the kitchen equipment quite limited. Overall, we had a good experience and would consider staying here again.

When we got there, there was no key in our assigned box. There was a key in the checkout box, so we went to look at that room. The room was all made up, so we asked if we could use that room, but we were assigned a different room which was partially made up. The bathroom area wasn’t made up. Check-in was an awful experience, but the rest of the stay there was pleasant.

This hotel is an apartment building. There are no staff to interact with. Everyday there was someone in the entrance way confused about how to get their key. I had no trouble with check in but for many guests who don’t speak English or Japanese I think it was difficult. The area is wonderful, easy access to trains to both osaka/ Hyogo and Nara. The walls and floors are very thin so you will hear neighbors.

Great location and size for price. The check in process can be confusing with the additional fee you have to pay after booking but as long as you book ahead you have plenty of time to email the company any questions to clarify everything.

Well located, quiet and spacious. It was great having a washer and a kitchen since I was there for 2 weeks. While the kitchen and bathroom were clean, the ac was full of dust (I had to take the filter out to clean it) and the room could’ve done with a deep clean. It is unstaffed so didn’t speak with anyone. Bed was one of the hardest I’ve slept on in 20 years of travelling in Asia.

Great location and AC/fridge accessible, but “okay” stay at best. Cleanliness was not great and there were insect issues - we did not open the windows at all. The washer door sensor is broken so washing clothes was not convenient.

Mediocre

This property was close to public transport and only one train stop before Kyoto. The room was quite roomy for a hotel but there was no room service. Towels not changed and the bed was quite hard. On a plus, there were some lovely restaurants in the area.

Værelset var noget småt til tre personer. Futonen virkelig dårlig, og værelset var ikke klargjort til tre gæster da vi ankom. Altanen var ubrugelig; uden møbler, og med en udsigt der var blokeret af metal afskærmning. Derudover var der lydt, og fjernsynet havde kun japanske kanaler. På positiv siden var bad, toilet og køkken ganske fint til prisen. Det største plus er nok beliggenheden; tæt på tog-station.
