Western Tourist's comments, April 16 2023 stay Cheap compared to the competition. Easy access from the train station even with heavy oversized luggage, good washroom and shower, tired room with older carpet and furniture, small flat screen TV, new soundproof windows that open. Very good western breakfast buffet which is served hot with granola and toast available and also there is a Japanese breakfast choice. No English TV channels. Air conditioning and heat are controlled in the room but come from a central source so only one is available at a time so we had no air conditioning on an unseasonably warm spring day (but we could open the window). Good door lock and the elevator is controlled by your room key so I felt safe. Many restaurants around. Conclusion is great location, good washroom, good safety, good "free" breakfast but price compare with it's neighbors because it is a bit tired and you should be happy...

If you want to enjoy your trip for longer and stay in this area, then you might be better off checking the other hotel alternatives...

Hotel is very clean and comfortable, staff were very nice and welcoming. Breakfast was quite good, you could pick between japanese or...
