Stayed in an Eco room - god for short stay of 1-2 nights not so good for longer stay. Toilet not clean after 2 days smelled :(. Trash cans are not segregated no meaning to eco! Room gets too hot and windows cannot be opened. Location of hotel is good.

I was disappointed on the service of the hotel. They were willing to charge extra money when guest asks something.
They tried to charge for one hour late check out which is normally understood in most of the hotel.
Bed was too old to comfortable sleep comparing to the price.

Just next to the canal and the brewery is a plus, but it’s a little far from the Sakaimachi shopping street.
Rooms are normal but clean, hotel staff is friendly.
Carpark is a little unexpected, using a parking conveyor lift but staff are on hand to guide you through the process

The hotel is a bit old but is clean. There is insufficient parking space, I arrived 4pm at the hotel and the parking space is already full.
