    We already knew that the room size would be small, so I'm not saying that I didn't like it but if there was anything to improve on in the hotel it would be to have more space in the room. Having said that I do appreciate that we were getting very good value for money at this hotel so the room size was a good compromise for that. :-)

    The hotel is in a very convenient location beside the train station and close to shops/restaurants. We loved having the Onsen in the hotel and it was not crowded during our 4 day stay.

    It's the first time I hear the hotel has a heating system that controls all the rooms. That is during our visit in Nov, there's no air condition and we cannot control from our room. The hotel turns on the heating system in the evening for all the rooms. At the end, the staff sent us a blower, which is not of much help, it only cools the room slightly.

    Their decor was a bit garish and it did not make me want to stay long. The facility was ver clean but visually it was assaulting.

    Location at the rail station was very helpful in having our luggage held.

    Doors of your neighbors and people talking in the hallway are quite noisy. The bathroom is very small (have seen some bigger in other hotels). Small things, but still quite noticeable for some people.

    We got a room on their top floor and the view was amazing. The room is small but has everything you need for a night away. The TV aimed right at our bed was honestly great for watching a movie and falling asleep. The hotel is right next to the station, so easy accessible.

    I stayed here for a couple nights en route to a more rural part of Japan and I was very comfortable here. The hotel is clean and only steps away from the train station, which was excellent. The only thing I didn't love was hearing my neighbors, as the walls seemed rather thin. Nothing disruptive but was just different than the other places I stayed in Japan. Overall a real bang for your buck though!

    I find that the temperature of the bath was slightly too hot, maybe could lower 1-2 degrees? The hairdryer in the hot bath can be improved, there is only 1 hair dryer which was good.

    Its about 2 minutes away from the train station, so there is many food available. The hotel has only 10 over parking lots, staff was very kind enough to share all the nearby parking before hand which was extremely helpful. The tap water is delicious haha, its tasted even nicer than the bottle provided! The bath was big enough as well, even though there was many people but it felt comfortable. Love the bed and the pillows, always have neck issues but its actually quite good, thought of purchasing it online! Check in and out was extremely smooth.

    The space of the room, and toilet was small! 😌 Could've been better if 'twas spacious!

    The bed was so soft, and it was clean! It's accessible to train and bus station. The male staff who attended to us was nice.

    good location, fair price, has an onsen (very though very crowded), comfortable bed, good AC

    Similar to other Japan hotel, the room size is quite small. There is no separate area to place the suitcase. When I open the suitcase to get some items, it occupies most walking area in the room. See if the room layout can be improved to place the suitcase easily.

    The hotel is well located and very close to the railway station by walk less than 5 minutes. Very convenient if you need to take train to other areas to commute. The onsen in the hotel is superb with long open time that can help relax my body after a whole day visit in the city. The room facilities are very comprehensive. The bed and pillow are very comfortable.

    I understand that this is common practice for many hotels in Japan, but be aware that you pay per person, NOT per room. My friend missed the last train, and I offered to let him stay with me. I was disappointed to have to pay ¥4,400 more to add an extra occupant to the room, even though they didn’t have time to use any of the facilities. I thought it was a little expensive. The room is kind of narrow, but it’s a normal size compared to other hotels in Japan, so I can’t complain too much.

    It was built fairly recently, so everything is new and clean. The bed is particularly comfortable, and it is raised off the floor so that you can put your luggage underneath it. This is really nice and saves a lot of space in the small room. The TV in the room is big and has a nice picture, and you can easily watch YouTube via “screen mirroring” with your phone. They also provided new towels and yukata everyday, even if I declined the cleaning service. It was nice. The staff were very kind and friendly, and they helped me make changes to my reservation (aka add an extra person) even as late as 11:30pm. The breakfast staff graciously let me enter the restaurant just 8 minutes before last order. Finally, the big bath and especially the outdoor bath felt very nice in this season. It was convenient that you can see how crowded the bath is by checking the TV in your room before you go there.

    We hated the sensory overload in the room. The TV was too big, and turned on with advertising every time we walked into the room. Advertising, books and magazine by the founder, etc., all were unwelcome in a space purposed for quiet and relaxation. It was our only complaint; otherwise, everything was fine. But it was a big negative.
