Excellent Stay, Modern Comfort and Great Amenities
convenient location modern design sliding doors automatic service
The hotel had a great location near public transport. I appreciated the modern interpretation of a traditional ryokan style. The room included sliding doors to separate areas (a nice design touch). The hotel provided luggage forwarding and receiving services automatically.
My room had no window to the outside, feel a little closed in.
Facilities
9/10
The hotel offered complimentary coffee and tea each afternoon, a very welcome touch. I observed helpful staff that managed luggage forwarding very well, streamlining my travel (a big plus).
Rooms
9/10
My room featured comfortable beds and an air purifier. A large TV and a Sony sound bar enhanced the entertainment options. I found the room to be well soundproofed.
Dining
8/10
Complimentary fresh bread was available in the lobby each morning. Supermarkets and convenience stores located nearby provided easy access to various food options. This made getting snacks very convenient.
Service

The staff were regularly cleaning the rooms, which looked new and were well maintained. I noticed staff handled luggage services efficiently. They were very helpful when I needed assistance.

loud air conditioning noticeable dust
the hotel's location was acceptable , with convenient access to transportation.
The 'superior twin room' i booked was a letdown , primarily because of the noise. i could constantly hear the loud air conditioning unit from the roof . also , the room cleaning wasn't up to par . There was noticeable dust everywhere , including on the furniture and floor.

cozy stay near transport
convenient location nearby mart free drinks japanese design
The location was convenient, near a bus stop that connected to various city sights. i found a family mart very close, useful for quick needs. the hotel offered free drinks like water and tea in the lobby. I enjoyed this feature. i appreciated the hotel's modern japanese design using a lot of wood.
The room had frosted windows. I would have prefered some natural light. it felt a bit closed off at times.
