Take Rice Terraces

Very nice property with Western-size rooms, right in the heart of Tenjin and its shopping district. Somewhat odd that the lobby is on the 19th floor, while the guest rooms are below. The only minor mark is the Lounge . . . beet nice decor, but don’t expect much in terms of food or snacks. Sparse would be the correct descriptive. Having said that, I’d gladly stay again.

Unmanned hotel! I don’t remember reading this on the Expedia website or reviews. Thank goodness I looked at other websites and that’s when I found out. Check in is virtual…you need a code to enter building then need a hotel reservation code…the other websites said we would get an email which I didn’t so I reached out to the hotel and that’s when I got my information written in Japanese (which I am unable to read). The hotel room was extremely cold on the first night even with the heater on. It was nice having a washer dryer. We used the dryer to dry our bath towels as the room was too cold for them to dry on their own. Big refrigerator with a freezer was nice. Room size was decent and fairly clean. Easy walk to the train station…about 7 minutes. Family Mart at the end of the block.
