Um local muito estratégico, ao lado do Nijojo Castle. Um hotel bem simples, mas confortável. Apresenta o básico em relação aos demais hotéis do Japão, mas bem localizado (mais ou menos 6 min até a estação de metro - Tozai Line) A very strategical place, that stay close to Nijojo Castle. It is a simple hotel, but very comfortable. It is simple when you compare to another hotels in Japan, but it's location is very good (around 6 min by walk to the nearest subway station - Tozai Line). I recommend this hotel if you want to spend less than another hotels and you don't bother with simple hotel.

The staff was great and very friendly, both receptionists I spoke to spoke English or spoke just enough to help me without an issue. If you're looking for a more quiet hotel that is still close to train and bus lines this is a great option for you. They can also hold your luggage for you if you enter before the check in time.

安く泊まりたい人にぴったり。サービスもコストに見合った最低限。清潔でこざっぱりした内容だけれど、必要なものは揃っているので、不便はない。 腰痛持ちの私には少々ベッドが硬めでしたが、それは自己コンディションなのでやむなし。立地は便利。地下鉄の駅も、バスも近く、自転車レンタルのステーションも近くにいくつかある。大通りを入ると静かな住宅街だけれど、朝食からバーまで徒歩圏内にいくつもあり、食事や買い物にも困らない。
