“What stands out is the location, putting you within a short walk of Nishiki Market and with transport links right outside the door. The rooms, especially the deluxe options, give you space to unpack and relax. I appreciate that they've put effort into making the beds comfortable, and the free coffee and toast in the morning is a nice touch.”
