The rooms were tiny. I asked about breakfast and was told they were fully booked for the next 2 days. The next morning my family in another room went for breakfast and were allowed to dine without reserving….albeit a sparse offering for £19 each. We arranged bag forwarding from Tokyo and whilst the air tags showed them on site the staff said come back later. Cleaning of rooms is only done on request. Disappointing hotel
