The room is not small, but the design would not allow bigger suitcases to be opened flat. The shower smells somewhat moldy. No window.

The private sauna Bathtub is separated from the shower.

The room was a wonderful piece of compact design meeting all our wants and needs.

Really good accommodation, not a lot of space, but enough to sleep

Stayed in October 2024

We found it too small for us but okay for one night. Traditional sleeping arrangements which weren’t great for my back.

An amazing wee room, well equipped, clean and modern. Easy walk from the station and close to the river, castle, restaurants etc.

There are no windows but that's not unusual and not really a problem for a few nights.

Something a little different - it's essentially private sauna rooms, with bed and bath. Nicely designed and feels luxurious. Fantastic value for money. Good location, not far from castle, and walkable to JR station

Ok to address some of the negatives. It's a traditional futon bed so if you need a proper mattress it might not be for you. It's not staffed and has pin code entry and you may need Google translate to read the message. And there is a noisy air or water pump that can be heard through the night so maybe bring earplugs if you're sensitive but it's not too bad. Noise is definitely noticeable though. And it's small, but it's Japan so if you're used to a big hotel room or a little mobility impaired it may not be for you as you do need to access the bedroom through a small sliding window.

Great location, short walk to the station, castle, and situated near the river with nice views. Amazing food and drink locations nearby. Very clean room, relaxing sauna and very nice bathroom facilities, free tea and tea set for a little tea ceremony, comfortable bedding (traditional futon). Beautifully presented and exceptional value for money. What a fun experience.

Loud ventilation and no windows.

Extraordinary stay in Matsue. After we found the futon in the hallway, it was a comfortable stay. We didn’t have the time to test the sauna, but everything else was fine.

My one major gripe is that check in was at 4:30PM instead of the 4PM advertised. As I came in on a night bus, I would probably have booked another hotel if I knew check in was so late when all I wanted was a shower and nap. Because there is no staff, you also can’t drop your luggage off beforehand. One last minor point is that you need a PIN to exit the building which would be a death trap in case of an emergency.

Unique concept with many amenities, the best which is obviously the personal sauna. Very sleek interior makes it feel like a boutique hotel. Good prices in a city where lodging is limited and expensive.

And I would rate the property 10/10 if it wasn’t the lack of mattress. I understand that the full experience is very Japanese in this hotel. Just keep in mind you are going to sleep basically on the floor which was very challenging for us. And the light kept switching on automatically during the night so maybe this is me lacking sleep that night makes me rate this property this way. Otherwise it was very unique!

Mixed feelings, as it was very beautiful. Private sauna makes it very unique experience, as well as the “bedroom” which is accessible through a window.

Unfortunately the futon was by our western standards very uncomfortable, more so than other places, but the owner provided us with a second one. In addition, the bedroom is difficult to access because the inner door is similar to a capsule hotel, the sink is not very convenient and there are no windows.

The hotel is in a great location, between the castle and the station, both of which are a 15-minute walk away. There are many restaurants of all kinds nearby. The hotel is nice and everything is of quality. The owner, although we did not meet him in person, is responsive and found solutions to our requests.

Sauna temperature was too low. It would be perfect if it could be hotter.

Good value for money, very clean and facilities were amazing quality.

The sleeping arrangement is definitely not convenient for 6! We felt like in a shoe box. When the futon were placed we couldn’t move anymore. We had to move the coffee table a bit to open the sofa bed but as it was a fridge in it, the morning we noticed than water were coming out of it, because I walk into it. There was no windows. Actually look more like a karaoke place than an hotel room! Absolutely wouldn’t recommend it or at least they should change their description.

The location

The tatami room needs a more comfortable matress and the pillows are just no good.

The sauna was nice. Bathroom and shower are nice, too.

Liked everything.

The sauna and other facilities were great.

The "smart" lights are irritating. They turn on full brightness anytime you open a door, which you cannot prevent, and also meant that when I used the bathroom at night, my partner woke up with bright lights. They also did it randomly on their own. This is really annoying if you need a good night's sleep. The hot water is also not very hot. There is a huge beautiful tub, but only luke warm water, even when the dial is turned to the hottest setting.

There is no check in process or staff to help, but it was easy and convenient. Good location, surrounded by restaurants and 15 minutes walk from our train station. It is new and modern with nice amenities, it feels like a high end hotel at first...

Hard tatami, thin futon, thin pillows with no choice of pillow or futon

Interesting concept, great of you love saunas and hard beds with thin pillows

Special room construction. It is uncomfortable for many Japanese.
