There's multiple hotels with the same name in the area, so make sure you get the right one. The staff let us leave our bags when we arrived early and were helpful and friendly throughout our stay. This location was right next to a shotengai (covered shopping street), which had many necessities such as a grocery, pharmacy, restaurants and, most importantly a delicious bakery. The location had a welcoming, local vibe and was conveniently near transit.

Convient place

Convient but there is another smart place inn there is closer to station. This one is placed in the middle of two stations - both 8-10 min walk. Quite area to stay even though it is close to centrum. Room has a fairly size - could maybe ude a deep cleen because there was kinda dusty. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Everything was fine overall, except for one concerning incident: a staff member opened our door to let another guest in without verifying their room assignment. Although they later apologized, this is a serious breach of security. Fortunately, we were in the room at the time, and as a couple, the situation was manageable. However, had one of us been alone, out of the room, or in the shower, it would have been entirely unacceptable. The hotel should ensure guest safety and privacy.

Habitación limpia, bonita y acogedora. Un mercado local, supermercado y tiendas de conveniencia cerca, además de dos estaciones de metro a aproximadamente 15-20 minutos. Te facilitan amenidades tales como cepillos de diente desechables, desmaquillante, vasos de papel y café. Lavadora y secadora, microondas y cambio ilimitado de toallas. Sin duda volvería a reservar, muy cómodo y la atención muy buena.
