I would book here again but not first choice

Room was ok. Room on the smaller side of our stay. A bit dated. Location was good, close to the station and castle. Bed was a bit too hard. Our room window looked right onto another buildings outdoor staircase. Problem was that the light for the staircase beamed into our room as the blinds were a couple of inches from the wall and let lots of light in, right into the eyes of the person on the bed next to the wall.

A very poorly maintained and shabby property, with staff who did not seem to care at all, when they could be found. I will never stay here again. The best that can be said of it, is that is was not overtly dirty.

I have two reasons why I hate this Hotel and I do not want to stay forever. First of all, the hotel is unbelievably dirty, it is scum. It is the dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed. Disgusting place. Secondly, all the things in the room wore out. The furnitures are all bloody rubbish. In conclusion, l do not recommend you to stay dirty max. Anyway, It’s not Japanese hotel. May be operated by other Asian people.
