wonderful stay!
spacious roommodern aestheticfree laundry servicefriendly staff
I found the room spacious. It showcased a modern aesthetic while preserving japanese charm. using the public baths after long walks was really lovely. the hotel offered free laundry service and it was perfect during my vacation. also, the staff was really friendly and helpful.
The sound insulation in the rooms wasn't perfect. I occasionally heard noise from the corridor. it didn't ruin my stay, though, and i still found the hotel to be very pleasant.

Superb Hotel Nearby the Station
superior locationconvenience storehousekeeping serviceseparate toilet
This hotel has a superior location close to the train station. A convenience store is right across the street. I found regular housekeeping services performed well. The separate toilet and bath added convenience.
My room had barely a window, so I couldn't really tell what was going on outside.
Dining
8/10
The breakfast place resembled a canteen and was more functional than cozy. It felt more like a workers' lunchroom than a restaurant for tourists to enjoy breakfast. There was also a long queue to get a fried egg.
Rooms
9/10
The rooms were clean and relatively large. Amenities in the rooms were plentiful. The hotel provided lounge wear daily and this was very useful. The room also included separate toilet from the bath as a bonus.
