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.

Hotel itself was fine. But the listing says it has AC, which isn't actually the case between 6pm and 11am, which, you know, is the time block most guests would actually be in the hotel. So be aware, the only option to cool the room at night is to open the window, which leads to a lot of noise. I ended up sleeping with my ear buds in every night so I didn't sweat through the mattress.
