To start, this review is completely subjective, my preferences may not be the same as yours, so understand that when considering booking this hotel.
PROS:
- Polite english speaking staff
- Decent size hotel room considering standard Japanese size hotel rooms
- Nice bathroom, clean and new.
CONS:
- Paper thin walls, bring your ear plugs if you want to get some rest. You can seriously here everything in this hotel, if you stay here, request the top floor! You could here people running up and down the floor above you.
- Uncomfortable bedding, I've stayed in many Japanese, this bed was the worst I've had. There is a difference between a hard/soft and FIRM bed. This bed felt like a springboard with a tiny piece of cloth protecting you from the prodding springs. I would have rather slept on the floor.
- Not the cleanest room I've ever seen, they really need to vacuum better, maybe even under the bed.
NEUTRAL:
- Location
- Price
- Feels like a share-house/hostel. This may be a positive or negative depending on your likes.
- Eclectic hotel with unique style
Overall I would NOT recommend this hotel because of the extremely noisy atmosphere. However, my top priority when booking a room is peace and quiet. If you're looking for a hotel with a unique style and are a heavy sleeper, this may be the room for you.
