    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! the location couldn't be better - right opposite the main train station. It was so convenient for exploring the city and catching transportation. Secondly, the staff were friendly and went above and beyond to assist us during our stay. They were always available to help with any questions or requests we had. Additionally, the rooms were well-equipped with basic amenities and a private toilet, providing us with the comfort and convenience we needed. Lastly, the breakfast was a delightful experience with traditional dishes that were truly delicious.

    All in all, everything was satisfactory during my stay.

    This hotel offers great value for money, especially considering its convenient location right across the street from the train station. The prices are reasonable and the staff are polite and accommodating, going the extra mile to provide utensils and bowls for our baby. The rooms are modest but neatly maintained, and the private toilet adds an extra level of comfort. Additionally, the traditional Japanese breakfast prepared by the hotel was quite tasty, offering a pleasing variety of dishes.

    Our stay at this hotel was satisfactory.

    We loved how convenient this hotel was for exploring the city. It's located just across from the main station which is the hub to all major attractions. The close proximity to the transportation hub made getting around this city so easy. The cleanliness of the hotel also impressed us. The excellent hotel facilities, particularly the communal baths, made our stay even more enjoyable. Additionally, we found the staff to be very helpful and accommodating.

    All was perfect.

    The hotel is located in a very convenient area near several transportation options, such as the train station and a mall. the rooms offer several amenities, such as robes, hot water, tea, and bubble bath. Breakfast is a special highlight, featuring traditional Japanese foods like miso soup, rice, and fish.

    Some parts of the hotel show signs of age and lack of cleanliness, like smelly corridors and dusty floors.

    I recently had a fantastic stay at a traditional Japanese hotel in a superb location. The hotel is conveniently situated right opposite a major train station, making it extremely easy to navigate the city. The staff at this hotel were extremely welcoming and accommodating, ensuring that my family and I felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Not only were the rooms clean and comfortable, but they also provided thoughtful extra touches like robes, tea, and even bubble bath! The breakfast offered a delightful array of traditional Japanese dishes, including tofu. this hotel provided excellent value for money, combining affordability with a memorable experience.

    All was great, no improvements necessary!

    The hotel was conveniently located for sightseeing, with several nearby coffee shops and restaurants. The complimentary breakfast was well-cooked and satisfying. The staff were polite and tried to be helpful whenever possible.

    The accommodation itself was basic and outdated, with several facilities in need of repair. The bedding was uncomfortable and seemed to lack proper cleaning. The room smelled musty, and the bathroom had bad ventilation resulting in dampness. the hotel was underwhelming and did not match up to the standards expected for its price point.
