As someone who has never traveled out of the country, this was an amazing first hotel to use. The owners communicated everything very timely and the price was amazing. The walk to universal wasn’t bad either so the location is perfect. We would pick this hotel again for another trip.

Excellent room not far from chidoribashi, and only a short walk from other stations
Shops and restaurants nearby. Room clean with air conditioning, hotplate and shower)toilet. Laundry room on ground floor
In the middle of a residential area so it was kinda quiet. If you want to go to places you'll have to walk allot. Free laundry

Amazing stay
I had an amazing experience staying at Hotalu. Our apartment was clean and cozy. I stayed with my family of 3, and recommend this place.
Our only issue was that it was a bit far from the metro station, but the bus stop was close, so we used a bus to get to the city center. 7/11 was just around the corner which was super convenient. Plus the washer and dryer is available for free on the first floor.
Overall, great host, lovely apartment. Loved our stay

Not as spacious as photos. Otherwise very complete and very new.
Technically everything is fine for a week's stay.
It's only a bit tricky to work the washing machine, and the dryer has no timer, meaning depending on the load it can take multiple hours.
Good to know is also that the general bin for trash is outside, somewhat hidden, but it's there (out of the door, around the corner to the right, in a well looking beige container. The latch is hidden under the lift gap).
A great grocery store is also a few minutes away, with Oma's Okonomiyaki :-)

We took this as it was closish to Universal Studios. But it wasn't particularly close to a train station and a long walk to US, so cabs were needed. It's great that this had it's own mini-kitchen, but we had been spoiled by our first hotel (one of the Minn chain) which was similar but nicer. So check out Minn hotels before you book this! Or, if visiting Universal, maybe get one of the many hotels next to it, as the area there has far more amenities and restaurant choices (the area around this hotel is more residential, though there was a covered shopping area not far away).
La habitación si estaba en buenas condiciones los servicios son básicos, el personal no existe todo es autoservicio podrían mejorar la experiencia con instrucciones más amplias.
El establecimiento ofrece una experiencia excelente, caracterizada por su tranquilidad y limpieza. El cumplimiento de las normativas para huéspedes asegura una estancia óptima, convirtiéndolo en una opción altamente recomendable.
