really nice hotel. Equipped with everything you need including cute pj dress! The only issue was the humidity in the small rooms, as you can't open the window. But we did find a humidifier in the morning which helped a lot! Overall lovely staff and hotel, would definitely stay again!

This could’ve been a 5⭐️ review so maybe I’m being too harsh given the absence of a 4.5⭐️

Great location, close to big subway and train stations as well as very convinrent bus lines. Lots of options in terms of shopping and eating and just far enough from the noisiest and liveliest part of the city. Great quality/service to price ratio, strongly recommend.
In terms of what I was missing, I would have wished for a gym or a pool or also an artificial onsen, which are widespread. Also sometimes, on rooms facing the  street it could get slightly noisy with motorbikes and cars revving their engines at the stop. Other than this not much to be unhappy about, it’s a great value hotel!!

The entrance of the hotel has large black doors that will automatically open when motion is detected. For a first timer, I was lost wondering where to get in.

Reception staff are friendly when asked for help.

Location is good with shops.
Train station is close by, maybe 5 minutes walk. I would not want to lug my luggage there. If it was just a hand carry bag or back pack, then it is fine. When you are familiar with the area, it gets easier.

Enjoyed our stay . Room is spacious compared to Japanese standard. Breakfast buffet was perfect before heading out the door. Wish it would start at 6 am instead of 7am . Walking distance to Nishiki market and other shopping areas. Would definitely recommend.
