For a Japanese hotel, the room was very spacious! It had all the amenities I needed, including free coffee and breakfast. They helped me with luggage forwarding to Osaka as well which is hugely helpful. The hotel is also in a nice location with easy access to multiple bus stops within walking distance. I would stay here again!

6/10 Good

I must admit that I was a bit disappointed staying here. The lobby and eating area were small and dismal and our room on the first floor was also small and overlooked a building site next door (did not look like the photos on site with spa tubs/outdoor area etc. The location itself was excellent, very close to the sights in the old part of the city but aside from location I would not stay here again.
