Restricted room exit mechanism (safety concern)
Multiple guests were uneasy that room doors lock and require calling staff to reopen them; this was described as limiting the ability to go out and raised concerns about safety in emergencies.
Noise and thin soundproofing
Several reviews mentioned sleep disturbance from nearby train noise, closing doors in adjacent rooms or plumbing sounds, suggesting walls and doors may not fully block noise.
Air conditioning issues
A few guests reported problems with the air conditioning—either weak cooling or inconvenient unit placement—which affected room comfort.
Inconsistent breakfast/food quality
While meals are provided and appreciated by many, at least one guest reported a poor experience with cold or low‑quality items for the Japanese breakfast option.
