When we opened the door we had to pray to get inspiration how to fit ourselves and our two suitcases. Room is something TINIEST ive ever seen in my life. Its pretty loud in the night as they clean the streets and you can hear the breaking bottles and driving trucks. Although amount of free stuff is unbelievable and amazing so it may be some compensation. Next problem is breakfasts, when we booked hotel there was information about “continental breakfast “ well, you will not get one. There is only onigiri machine - which spit out formed rice - next to it you will find salmon, beef (both tasteless) some green stuff and wasabi which was liquidish - not like paste which u will find everywhere else. Other option is miso from bag which u need to mix with boiled water- super salty and unhealthy and milk with either choco pops or granola. Other choice are packed in plastic milky buns or croissants. If im mistaken it has nothing to do with any breakfast especially continental. Well, honestly speaking you have enough after two days and you are craving something edible. It looks better on pictures but i find “food” really terrible. There is plenty of coffee beans and grinders - unfortunately its just for looking good since those grinders are too weak to grind any coffee which means that coffe wont brew because is too coarsly .Plus is that you can drink for free in...
Read moreThis place was amazing! All of the staff were very friendly and helpful, even if some didn't speak English. They have free breakfast every morning (make your own onigiri, juice, coffee, bread, and soup) and s'mores in the evening. There is a beverage vending machine and unlimited serve your own alcohol available 24/7. The inside is so pretty and calming and they have a little campsite themed dining area. Our room was very nice with an area to leave your shoes, a big bath with jets, an adjustable shower head, and a comfy bed with a canopy (plus mini fridge, microwave, tv and kettle). Everything was clean and the hallways were decorated pretty with plants and intricate woodwork. They have lots of freebies including lotion, mints, nose strips, face masks, bath salt, shampoo, conditioner, and hair accessories. You can also rent the larger bottles of shampoo, pillows, a massage gun, casual clothing, and a bed topper. You do have to leave your room key at the front desk when you leave but it was very easy. There was always someone there and I felt this kept us from loosing the key. Overall, we had a great experience and would love to come back one...
Read moreUnfortunately, this was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Upon entering the room, there was an overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke. The hotel still offers smoking rooms, something that really shouldn’t exist anymore. The windows can only be opened a tiny bit, so proper ventilation is impossible.
The room itself is extremely small — there is barely enough space for one suitcase, and certainly not for two. Cleanliness is mediocre; there are visible limescale stains on the bathroom fixtures. Housekeeping is only provided once, and only upon request. The air conditioning unit and overall technical equipment appear very old, giving the impression of a hotel stuck in the 1960s.
Breakfast is also disappointing. The selection consists mainly of self-made rice balls and small packaged croissants.
On the positive side, the bathroom has a heated toilet seat (standard in Japan) and a nice selection of over ten different soaps.
Overall, the stay was very disappointing. I would have preferred to move to another hotel, and I cannot...
