Everything was great except for the loud jackhammer noise outside during the day. I know that really isn’t the fault of the hotel, but I probably would have chosen another spot if I had known about it beforehand.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was great and our room was quite spacious with 2 beds. But I would have happily given up some of the living area space for a slightly bigger bathroom. Very very small and compact bathroom... not horrible but my gosh! So tiny! I knew this going in from the other reviews so was not totally surprised. One thing I thought was unusual for Japanese hotel was that the carpet was not dirty but heavily stained. The hotel provided slippers for us to wear which was great. A little tiny disappointed that when the room was cleaned on day 3 of our 4 night stay our cups were not washed or changed. Honestly that was the worst of it we were very happy and comfortable in the room.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Stayed three nights and there were a few bumps along the way. First, not sure if it was the hotel or Expedia but the email for check-in instructions was never received. I did figure out that there is an app for check-in, which was important as I was arriving close to reception closing time. Easy app to use, and they release your door code to you at 3PM so you have it available when you get there. The app however says check-in, skip reception and go straight to your room. Do not skip reception! Went out for a bit after dropping off bags and got back to the room and they had wiped out the check-in. Called the emergency number and they completed the check-in steps that reception would have done. Nothing more frustrating than to realize you can’t get in your room where all of your belongings are! Second, I arrived just before 10PM and there was a sign in reception that said it was open until 11. Well there was no one there so wouldn’t have been able to complete those steps. Third, as recent reviews have said - the room needs a deep clean. Just had an overall feeling of ‘not clean’. Fourth - yes the bathrooms are tiny! But that at least was known.

Very good hotel for the price. We had 3 separate beds for 3 people which was nice. The location was also quite good, since there was a train station very close by. I would give this a 4.5 if I could, simply because the bathroom was very small and also we had to wait 10 minutes after check in time for cleaning to finish, but those were small things.

比较方便的酒店

比较新的酒店。离心斋桥不远。入住会使用平板输入信息，房间是密码锁，需要通过电子邮箱接收。房间不大但相比其他酒店利用的很好。采光很好，这次的房间有两个窗户。房间的备品在这价位使用的还不错。隔音很好，旁边是高架路，关上窗户了也听不到什么声音。酒店没有提供除味的喷雾，一些设施是在一楼共用的。
