Hotel is located in a quiet alley off the main road. Room was very clean and quiet with good in-room facilities. No TV, but they provide a projector which you can use with your laptop if you bring an HDMI cord. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Location was excellent - just a one minute walk to the nearest subway station.

Everything was perfect for us. The room and the bathroom is small but since we knew this in advance it was no problem at all.
The location is perfect. It's really close to the subway but in a really silent neighbourhood. The people working at the hotel are really nice and the property is really clean.

While we expected a small room, the space was utilized very inefficiently; could barely move around the room. Note to owners: think about getting wall shelves in room, removing fridge, and add more hooks (perhaps on back of door as well).
Very friendly staff, locations was great (right beside metro stations), comfy bed, clean, and quiet

The bin could have been bigger! I dont mind no room servicing each day (why waste?) but the bin did not fit it our rubbish for even one day. It was also a bit expensive for what it was.
Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We arrived at about 0930 as it was the day the super typhoon was due. We were able to check in about 11am. We were given good advice on where to go and tips to wait out the typhoon. Clean and though small, nothing abnormal to the rest of Japan.

The washroom was really dated. It seemed very old. The toilet didn't even have a bidet function like 99% of toilets I encountered in Tokyo did. The curtains also had a smell of sweat/mildew that was really unpleasant.
I thought its location was fine. It was relatively close to a subway station around a 3 minute walk away. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. Always greeted us with a smile on their face and handled baggage storage for us well.

Had a bit of problem with the air conditioning - on the second night of my stay, the air conditioner began switching on and off intermittently in the middle of the night. As I am a light sleeper I woke up as a result of that. However, the air conditioner worked perfectly on the third/final night so maybe it was an anomaly. Still unsure of the root cause of the problem as I did not fiddle with the remote.
No complaints about the size of the room - it was perfect for a 5’2 solo female traveller. Very clean. Value for money. Reliable WiFi.

The room and the bathroom were very small but it didn’t bother us for we just wanted a good night’s sleep. At first, it was hard to find because it was in the middle of a residential area but once you locate it, it’s easy to remember how to get there. Since it’s in a residential area, it was nice and quiet for a good night’s rest.
The location of this property was great! Very close to the train station. There are also some good restaurants and some convenient stores around the area. The staff was amazing, helpful and accommodating. Ken and and the staff there are wonderful! The beds were so comfortable.
