The bed and bathtub were large and the room was clean, so it was generally nice, but the air conditioner and air purifier were so full of dust that I was scared and couldn't use them.

I stayed here for 2 nights during a 3-day weekend.Considering the location and facilities, it was very reasonable and helpful. The people at the front desk were also kind and helpful.On the other hand, the facilities and location are not good, and although the building is clean, the cleaning is sloppy.There was a lot of dust on the bed frame, and I could tell it hadn't been wiped down for a while. I think it will be clean just by wiping it once with a rag...Air conditioner filters also have a lot of dust attached to them.The water area wasn't too dirty, but I had a very negative impression of using duct tape as a first aid measure.Also, the drainage was very poor and the hot water in the bathtub never ran out. All the hair is the type that flows out, and the room is only cleaned after check-out, so I think it's probably clogged.As for the location, it's convenient because it's close to the station and there's a convenience store, but it's in a red-light district so it's unsafe.There's a lot of littering, I've seen multiple people picking up girls, and even though smoking is prohibited on the streets, there are a lot of people smoking without paying attention.Going out at night alone is not recommended for women.Overall, I think that although the location is acceptable, there is room for improvement in the facilities and cleaning.However, since it's cheap, I think it's something like this.I would be worried if asked if I would use it again...

The response from the front desk was good.I am satisfied with the facilities, size, and amenities of the room.The location is in an entertainment district, so women walking alone at night are not allowed.I cannot recommend it.I stay at business hotels all over the country.This is my first time posting a review.The room is too dusty.Under the chair was a half-drinked plastic bottle from the previous guest.The futon is damp and heavy.The most disappointing thing is that I forgot my earphones in the room, but the call results were as expected.The answer was "No."I'm sure you've often been criticized for cleaning.However, it has not been improved, so it is probably outsourced.Even if the contractor wants to improve it, it will be difficult to do so.Also, there was trash from the previous guest under the chair, so if your earphones had fallen somewhere in the shadows, you might not notice because they weren't cleaned that much during cleaning.Again, the response from the front desk isIt was good.As for the forgotten item, it was my own mistake.If they say no, I will give up.Although the tuition fee is high.

It's a great value for the price, and the front desk staff is great. I go to many luxury hotels, but they are always disappointing. Our guests want to feel comfortable during their stay.

Booked a 2 night stay here in Nagoya for a quick “pit stop” for my wife and I. Initially I was attracted by the low prices. We got our room assignment, and when we walked in, it smelled really dusty and musty in the room. There was dust still piled up on the headboard and the small couch seats. When I went to wipe everything down with some wipes I had, I found several mini dust mites everywhere: on the desk, bedframe, and the walls. My wife and I are allergic also, so we went down to the receptionists to request a refund.The lady at the desk gave me a telephone number to call for customer service. It was a Japanese number though, so I asked to borrow their phone to call the number. I spoke with a lady who spoke English, but she kept asking me for a 14-digit itinerary number. The confirmation email I had received months ago (through Chase Travel) only had a 9-digit confirmation number. The hotel staff also only that same number. Neither one of us had the 14-digit number, so the lady on the phone could not check our reservation details.Since there was nothing else to do, the lady told me she would call herself later and speak with Japanese-speaking staff. I gave her my email so she could contact me about the results, since I don’t have a Japanese number.I appreciate the help that the staff gave to try and aid us in our situation. We are still currently waiting to hear back from them on the results.All-in-all: friendly and understanding staff, but poor room quality and customer service phone line.UPDATED: Smile Hotel staff has emailed me promptly and has processed our refund. Thank you for helping us out!

Anyway, the room was smelly...The air conditioner was also smelly and there was so much dust that it looked like it hadn't been cleaned.The inside of the kettle was also dirty.The location is very convenient, but the surrounding area is noisy and unsafe.The room was smelly and when I opened the window I could hear the noise from outside.

It was a hasty trip, so I made a reservation because it was cheap, but it was a bit dusty and there was quite a bit of hair, and there were too many host bars around, so I didn't like it... It's a good idea

The adjacent road looked like a slum. I was prepared to go to the nearest convenience store late at night. As I expected, a strange old man threw something like an obscene tout at me. Now I know why accommodation fees are cheap.

Right in front of the host town!Although the curtains were closed, the light and sound were leaking in, making it difficult to sleep😅The room was a bit smelly for people who don't smoke.It may be unsafe at night, so women should be careful when walking alone✋

I didn't know much about the area, so when I arrived there was a host club in front of the hotel.I thought it would be noisy at night, but it was a Friday night, but it was quiet and I slept well.The staff were also attentive and made me feel good when I saw them.There was a little bit of dust on the bed frame in the room, but other than that I think it's the best hotel with excellent value for money.There was a bedside table, a table, and three outlets, so I was able to charge my phone while running the hair dryer and boiling the water in the pot.The shampoo and conditioner also had a nice scent.

Cheap and very satisfying. The location was interesting as it was right in the middle of the downtown area. I would like to use it again.
