some issues
bad smell ineffective air conditioning
the location near the subway was fine, i suppose.
my room unfortunately had a rather unpleasant smell, not overpowering, but still noticeable.. the window offered little ventilation, barely opening, so fresh air was not really an option. the air conditioning, disappointingly, would not go below 20 degrees celsius.

wonderful location bus stop family mart certain smell limited air air conditioning
the location was wonderful. bus stops are nearby. the family mart next door proved quite convenient. our room felt clean and tidy.
my room did have a certain smell. i could not open the window very far so fresh air was limited. the air conditioning would not go below 20 c, so it was not useful.

Adequate Stay in Central Location
spacious room restful sleep central location understaffed desk unarranged taxi smelly pillows
Our room was quite spacious. The beds allowed a restful sleep. The hotel's location made getting around easy. A convenience store located next door proved very useful.
The front desk seemed understaffed. The staff didn't arrange a taxi for me. I found this unhelpful. I also noticed the pillows smelled a little.

Decent stay with a great location
convenient location breakfast selection helpful staff strange smell dusty room older bidet
The hotel's location impressed me because it was so close to the bus and subway. Breakfast included many options I enjoyed. I found western and Japanese dishes at the buffet. The staff were helpful too. The front desk answered all my questions and gave good directions.
My room smelled a little strange when I first arrived. It also looked dusty. The bidet seemed older. The water initially ran cold before it got warm.
