Positive Reviews
Spacious, comfortable rooms and beds

Friendly and helpful staff
Several reviewers highlighted attentive service, staff who made an effort to communicate in English, and polite reception that enhanced the stay.
Good value/price and included breakfast
Guests found the hotel to offer good cost performance — many said the price was reasonable or a bargain, and some appreciated an included or reasonably priced breakfast (hot dog mentioned).
Clean, smoke‑free rooms and convenient on‑site extras
Many guests reported clean, smoke‑free rooms and useful nearby conveniences (e.g., a drugstore within a few minutes’ walk), contributing to an overall pleasant stay.
Negative Reviews
Location and accessibility
Several guests noted the hotel is a fair walk from train and bus stations (one mentioned ~18 minutes) and can be hard to approach without a car, making arrival and local outings less convenient.
Breakfast: small portions or missing items
A number of reviews mentioned the breakfast was light or had a reduced menu; at least one guest reported not receiving a breakfast they had ordered.
Bathroom and in‑room maintenance issues
Some guests experienced problems with bathroom fittings — weak water pressure, a broken shower‑head rack, small or dated tubs, temperature control issues, and generally worn bathroom finishes that could use maintenance.
Media, appliances and small cleanliness concerns
Several reviewers reported the TV/streaming services (YouTube/Netflix/movies) were unavailable or the TV remote did not work; a few noted older hairdryers, found hairs on the floor, or other minor cleanliness issues.
Service/payment inconsistencies and deposit policy
A few guests reported problematic service moments: one experienced a billing discrepancy (charged more than expected) and others mentioned an on‑leave deposit requirement (e.g., ¥5,000) when going out at night — both issues that caused frustration for those guests.
