Good hotel but must have mobility.
Whilst aware of hotel distances from the subway, one especially feels the effort of moving luggages from hotel to subway to train station. Several bus stops around hotel vicinity. Be prepared if you want to stay here. Rooms are clean, new but small. Typical of Jap hotels.

Disappointing but fine
When we arrived, we were given a room that clearly hadn't been cleaned. There were splatters and stains all over the walls and furniture.
I asked for a new room and we got given it immediately, which was great.
I will say the pictures are deceiving...we had a miniscule room with a window that looked at a wall.
Good location for being central.

The hotel is new, clean and very nicely designed. It has some traditional elements, so it feels call. The breakfast is simple but good quality. There aren’t a lot of nice dining options in the area, so having breakfast in the hotel is very convenient.
Although it is a bit of walk from the hotel to the subway station ( like 10 mins), but we would stay there again.
