good varietydirty floorssmall room
The breakfast offered a good variety of choices. It was acceptable.
The floors seemed a BIT dirty. I think they could have vacuumed more thoroughly. I also found the room a bit small, and I had difficulty opening my suitcases. I wasn't sure where to put them.

efficient stay

The location was convenient because of the proximity to the urban station. The hotel also sent forgotten items to my next destination. I also appreciated the washing machine availability.
I noticed the room cleaning was not thorough. The filters of the air purifier and bathroom air extractors seemed very dirty. Maintenance could improve, especially because the windows do not open.

Really good Stay in Convenient Location

tatami matsshort walknotable oversight
My room had tatami mats. Low lighting ensured a restful atmosphere. A separate toilet added convenience. The hotel is a short ten-minute walk from the station and about 200 meters from the Gojo subway station. These aspects contributed significantly to a seamless and pleasant stay.
The absence of coffee in the room was a notable oversight, because this is usually a standard amenity. The space felt rather tiny with twin beds, difficult to move around. The bathroom also felt cramped, so I suggest a reconsideration of the room layout.
Service

The staff was polite and helpful, providing quick assistance with inquiries? Their friendly demeanor enhanced the overall experience. They offered clear directions and useful tips.
Rooms

The room featured backlighting behind the bed. The low bed and tatami mats contributed to the ambiance. The room size was adequate, and the bathroom had excellent water pressure. These features added comfort.
Facilities

A manga library on-site provided a unique and interesting amenity. Washing and drying machines were available, offering a convenient way to handle laundry. I found free room amenities to be useful. They were a nice touch.
Location

The location is close to Gojo-dori subway. This provides quick access to the train station and other points of interest. It offered excellent connectivity to transportation hubs, which facilitated easy exploration.
