The stay itself was pleasant. I had a membership number, but was told I had no points or benefits because the reservation was not made through the hotel website. I would appreciate it if you could add something like other hotel chains do. There were not enough choices of breakfast items, and there was only jam and no butter. In Japan, people eat salad in the morning, but not in the West. Needs improvement.

Nice and inexpensive
This place was great and a 2 minute walk from the train station. Very new and very nicely clean and comfortable. The only negative was the free breakfast which bordered on awful. Inexpensive to boot. Highly recommended!

Hotel was very modern. Good location. Room was decent size according to Japan standard. Breakfast was not good at all. All you get is piece of bread, very small portion scramble eggs and some salad. I was on 8th floor. There from May 8 to May 13 2024. Don’t leave your money or expensive item in room when you not there. I had an Indian older lady that clean my room just about everyday. I thought it was odd that my room was cleaned everyday. After check out and flew to Korea, found out someone at this hotel stole $500 USD cash from my backpack. I was mad, but more so at myself for leaving cash in the room. I would give this place 5 star if breakfast was good and cleaning lady didn’t stole my cash.

Twin room was not too small for Japan standards. The room has a decent size vanity area and the toilet and shower are separated. Great spot for buses and trains

Hotel staff barely speak and/or understand English. It is hard to communicate to customers. In Japan, tourists feel unwelcome because almost every things are in japanese language. Hotel breakfast is not good.

Excellent stay. Spacious enough room, more so than at the APA in Tokyo. Included breakfast is perfect to start the day with a bit of energy. Location is great, a little back from the busier part of Shijo street to the East, but still just around the corner from the Shijo Omiya station if you need transit, and a 30min walk along the very lively Shijo street to get to the Yasaka Shrine to the East of the river. I did everything by foot over the two days I was there, and loved it.
