Negative Reviews
Somewhat remote from public transport
The hotel is located a little far from public transport and the city centre; many guests needed to use the hotel’s shuttle service or a car to get around.
No blackout curtains in some rooms
Several guests noted the absence of blackout curtains, meaning early morning light can enter and may disturb light‑sensitive sleepers.
No on‑site onsen (hot spring)
A few guests mentioned they would have liked an on‑site onsen or bath facility, which the property does not offer.
Occasional mismatch in breakfast style
A small number of guests would have preferred a traditional Japanese breakfast but received continental options on some mornings.
Minor comfort and sustainability notes
Isolated mentions included beds that felt slightly firm to some guests and a wish for more reusable crockery instead of disposable items.
