Overall, the stay was good. The location is not too far from the main areas. The room could have been cleaner; the carpet wasn't very clean or vacuumed. It is a small space, good for one person.

It was a nice stay at WAYFARER Matsu. However, the bathroom is tight and one step above the floor. If the bathroom door open to the wall side, it will make walking in and out of the bathroom easier.

Liked: Cleanliness
Convenient location. The front desk staff is not there in the morning or past 10pm, so if you need anything like towels outside of these hours, it may be difficult to get. They also don’t offer room cleaning when we stayed there for 3-4 nights. The bathrooms are soooo tiny, but that may be common in Japan.

Check in was easy. Very clean and nicely sized room. The bathroom was incredibly small, which is the only downfall for this hotel. The hotel was within a walkable distance to public transportation. Food options nearby, and a quick 3 minute walk to a Lawson convenience store.

Disliked: Staff & service
It’s a self-serve place basically. We never met anyone, check-in was online, we got the access to the room by email and we had no room cleaning for the 3 nights we stayed there. You can get any towels or extra toiletries from a shelf at the “lobby”. The room was ok in size but the pillows were very uncomfortable. Small bathroom but that’s how they all are in Japan.

Easy information

Check in is 3 pm, not 2 pm as stated. On the confirmation letter, it needs to state the nearest metro station, which is Matsuyamachi. On arrival, I asked staff at Kansai train station and was informed to alight at Nagahoribashi. I was informed by visitors at Wayfarer about Matsuyamachi. Everything else went very well, Thank You.
