small roompoor breakfast
the hotel looks pretty but some things disappointed me. the room felt smaller than i thought. there wasnt much space for my luggage and moving around was a bit difficult, especially with two people. also, the breakfast wasnt great. The choices felt limited and the quality wasnt what i expected.
The location is REALLY convenient, very close to famous spots. The staff IS friendly and helpful, and they assisted me with bike rentals directly at the hotel. We hope to return soon!
i found the restaurant a little limiting. The main dinner choice often RAN out early. The pre-order for breakfast was also a bit inconvenient.

modern amenitiestraditional touchspacious roomquiet neighborhood
The hotel offers modern amenities while retaining a traditional touch. My room was spacious and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay (I especially liked the pajamas and slippers!). A refillable water station was available for guest use. The neighborhood was quiet and pleasant, perfect for leisurely walks.
Water was available in only one location on the first floor. This required a bit of planning to ensure I had enough throughout the day.

The staff was friendly and helpful in coordinating luggage transfers. Check-in and check-out were efficient processes. The personnel were willing to store luggage before check-in, a great help.

Location

The hotel is near a subway station and bus station, providing easy access to transport. There were convenience shops and local attractions within walking distance. A beautiful park full of blossoms was nearby too.
I really liked the friendly staffs, they were always ready to help. The hotel is near Marutamachi station, is just around the corner. It made getting around very simple. I also enjoyed the tasty breakfast served daily. It wasn't a buffet.
The water access is only available in one place on the first floor. I think water should be available at all floors.

My room included a mini fridge and kettle, these were useful. The bathroom was spacious with a separate toilet stall. The windows let in plenty of light, so it was a very luminous room.

Underwhelming stay, odd breakfast
bland eggplantrandom tables
The breakfast was strange. You must choose either a Western or Japanese meal. The options never change. The sweet potato seemed raw. The rice ball had cheese. I cancelled breakfast on the last day. No refund was possible. The zen room felt dead. It lacked atmosphere. The rooftop closed early. It only had random tables.
