Excellent Stay Near the Train Station

The staff spoke English well and were helpful. I found the room spacious, with a comfortable bed and a sizable bathroom, especially by Japanese standards. The cleaning staff maintained an excellent standard of cleanliness. I appreciated the small spa. It provided a relaxing experience.
The staircase was not available for use, causing delays in moving between floors, inconvenient, particularly with a room located far from the elevators.

excellent stay near station

helpful staffshort walkcanteen atmosphere
the hotel was very clean and well-organized. the staff were kind and helpful with requests for extra amenities (i got toothbrushes and body scrubs). the hotel is a short walk from the station, convenient for my day trips.
the staircase could not be used, i had to wait for the lift, even if my room was at the end of the corridor. the breakfast place was more like a canteen, not a cozy restaurant, so i did not enjoy it.

convenient locationhelpful staffpoor insulationoutside light
the location is very convenient, especially with it being a short walk to the main train station. it made travel easy. the front desk staff were lovely and helped with any questions i had, i am grateful for their assistance.
The sound insulation wasn't good, i could hear people in the corridor. it was disruptive at night! the light from outside came through the bathroom window. It kept the room semi-bright all night. it was bothersome.
