This hotel was on a side street, so quiet area, but right around the corner from the subway line (Tawaramachi?? I think). I can't say there was a whole lot right by the hotel, but if you walk up to the main street (which is really close to hotel), heaps of food options--there was a kebab shop on the corner and 24/7 Conbini (convenience store). Staff were friendly. Room was a bit small for two people and big suitcases, but we made it work (and is normal in Japan--small rooms). They had free water downstairs and vending machine but a bit more pricey than ones outside of hotel or Conbini. Con: only had one staff/one computer to check-in/check-out at front desk, so you had to wait if a previous person was in front, but generally was fast.
Would recommend this place-- close to Subway to get to city center and walkable, clean area, and yes safe!!!
