Positive Reviews
Clean and well-maintained rooms
Many guests praised the hotel's cleanliness and modern feel; rooms were described as tidy, with a pleasant, stylish interior and well-kept bathrooms.
Generous, tasty breakfast
Breakfast received frequent compliments — several guests found it delicious and plentiful (some noted free breakfast or valued add-ons like a katsu sandwich and other hot items).
Friendly, helpful staff
Multiple reviews highlight polite, accommodating staff who responded well to requests (for example providing a forgotten breakfast and assisting with room requests), creating a welcoming atmosphere.
Good amenities and in-room features
Guests appreciated in-room facilities such as a spacious bath, jacuzzi, separate bath/toilet layout, plentiful amenities, extensive welcome drink options and selectable BGM; some rooms even included karaoke and other entertainment.
Comfortable beds and strong value
Visitors mentioned very comfortable beds and overall good cost-performance — many felt the price and services offered made it a great value for short stays.
Negative Reviews
Occasional cleanliness lapses reported
A few guests experienced cleanliness issues (examples include hair in the bath and very dirty bed edges), and one guest needed to change rooms due to a drainage problem; these appear to be isolated but noteworthy.
Casting/TV connectivity problems
Although mobile casting (Chromecast) is advertised, some guests could not cast to the room TVs because a property-controlled Google TV was connected, preventing personal device streaming.
Smoking smell and non-smoking room availability
Some visitors noticed tobacco odor in rooms and asked for more non-smoking room options; while staff tried to accommodate requests, the presence of smoke in certain rooms was mentioned as a minor drawback.
Noise and occasional disturbances
Noise issues were reported occasionally — including unexpected toilet flushing at night, sounds from neighboring rooms, construction noise, and one report of the shower taking a while to get hot — which affected comfort for a few guests.
Check-in and booking limitations
Some guests noted limitations such as late check-in policies (e.g., check-in starting around 21:00) and difficulty reserving breakfast in advance; these scheduling constraints reduced convenience for a few visitors.
