16/10 Exceptional! (210 reviews)

Room was decent. The toilet on the floor I stayed would benefit with a lock as people could walk in without realising it was in use. There is a urinal with a sink as you first enter this is not lockable then a separate toilet area which is lockable. At times I found people outside unable to enter as it was out of hours for staff. This happened a number of times and must have been frustrating for those customers. There are instructions written in Japanese and English but after a long journey its not the best welcome. The only other thing is they do not change the bedding unless requested and i think (i could be wrong) but only after 5 days. I went at a time it was a heatwave. And had to ask for additional towels during my stay which should be complimentary. After 3 fresh towels you have to pay. Overall I would go back it was in a decent location, clean and a reasonable price.however this was my first time in Japan and I'm not sure how other hotels compare.
