The room was different from the photos shown online. The layout was not the same nor the furniture shown. However it was clean and had all the basic amenities. My room was on the first floor and the people upstairs could be heard very easily walking around at night which was a bit loud. Besides that was okay, staff were friendly.

It's like a resort, with big rooms, plenty of parking spaces, and close to the sights. However, the waitress' attitude was a bit impatient to answer questions.

Great hotel at a great price.

After staying here multiple times, I can say it is always friendly, clean and well maintained. Still, westerns have to realize this hotel caters to mostly Japanese clients, and the beds reflect this, being lower and firm.

Cosy hotel. Lovely staff!

Hotel is great overall. Give you a nice European feel. I love the small shop and the reception a lot. Room is a little small but you have all you need. The restaurant and bar were great. Breakfast was awesome! The only thing was the dinner arrangement (I booked half board). It worked like a cash coupon but no one could explain to us clearly. Could have translated it into proper English instead of explaining it verbally. Our overall experience were just great. Services were excellent too.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our room was tiny and the carpet was filthy. Amenities were very limited and staff were few and very inexperienced. We were overcharged at check out and had to point out the error. Then they still charged us the wrong amount. One of the worse, if not the worse hotel we have ever stayed at, and we paid over $400 a night, no meal. We stayed at a 4 star hotel near Ginza and it was a little over $300 and included breakfast. We feel totally ripped off. Not what the ratings reflect at all.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Stay charge on first night was supposed half board . Unlike previous stays , we were told to have dinner at wine bar with a discount coupon of yen 5,000 each instead of the restaurant. Staff agreed to charge each of us (4 altogether) an additional Yen 3,000 to change to restaurant dining . It turned out that the final bill charged us an additional yen 4,000 each plus the original price of the set dinner at Yen 7,800!!! Each of us ( 4 guests) were overcharged by Yen 8,800 as compared to what the staff agreed with us !!!!!!!!!! We were overcharged by at least yen 35,200!!! Excluding tax

If you don’t know Japanese, I don’t recommend you to stay at this hotel. Staff speak no English. The dinner coupon given to us to have dinner at the restaurant next door was in Japaneses only and staff at the restaurant didn’t seem to know (we seemed don’t know too) what to do. We didn’t get to eat our dinner until 9 pm. The location is far from the train station and sightseeing spots. It is not easy to get a taxi either if you don’t have an app for local taxi. We had to walk. The facility a kind of old and the carpet was very dirty.
