Property smelt like sewer and very limited cleaning. Didnt have trash bag for trash. The area is great for walking otherwise will not stay here again. For a hotel that smells awful with loud noises to reuqire 10,000 yen deposit is crazy.

Good accommodations, room is a decent size and has a small fridge and washing machine. Check in desk is not at this location but about a 1 minute walk. Only complaint was the people in the room above us were stomping around very late at night/early in the morning and couldn’t sleep while this was going on. The hotel itself and staff are good though.

Very convenient with a washer.

Pretty convenient, just a 3 min walk to the nearest subway station. The block however is remote from the main hotel and so there was a no front desk on site but about 2 minutes away round the block. We had an early morning flight out of Tokyo and had to wake the manager up in a another round om when ch was a touch embarrassing! And the room was tiny but it had a washer in the unit!

This area is in a great location to walk to various tourist sites and is a 5 minute walk to a central train station. It was extremely clean; the bed was comfortable and it was enough space for my partner and I to rest comfortably. If you're using this just as somewhere to rest your head it is ideal. However; the sleeping was terrible. The sound travels and depending on your neighbours this can prevent you from having any rest as I could hear footsteps constantly all night long and banging from the upstairs neighbours. You can also hear the neighbours talking. If you need proper rest this is not the place for you!!

Area was great and the apartment its self wasn’t bad at all, size was okay compared to other places I stayed in around Japan. My only issue was the staff. Unfortunately, extremely rude and unhelpful and had no idea what was going on, the person I communicated with over email and the person I spoke to in person at the hotel had conflicting rules. Was told not to listen to whatever the person who responded to my emails said because they change the rules daily which made absolutely no sense to me at all. I wouldn’t stay here again because of the unfortunate experience since there were several issues. It’s kind of sad as the area was great.

The hotel is very close to the JR station, but the soundproofing is not very good. The room has a washing machine, which is great, but it is very small and there is no place to hang clothes to dry. The room also has an exhaust fan, but its placement is inconvenient, and I’ve hit my head on it several times.
