7.8/10 Good! (961 reviews)
"Would not do again. Dirty, vermin, the smell of smoke was overwhelming, breakfast was underwhelming. I sleep on floor futon so I can handle hard surfaces, but the beds were lumpy and cheap. Would do capsule instead. Not as close as you think to the station. Onsen was dirty."
