The overall impression was old.As mentioned in other reviews, my luggage was placed in a net next to the front desk. I didn't want to go there, so I got together with some friends, went to the hotel after the check-in time, and left my luggage in the room.The receptionist was a woman and gave me a good impression.The room was clean, but the airflow of the hair dryer was weak and it took a long time to dry my hair, and the shower temperature could not be adjusted unless you adjusted the amount of hot water and the amount of cold water that came out. It was inconvenient. It was very hot with just hot water.Next time, if my destination was close and all the other hotels were expensive, I thought I'd stay there.If there is a better place, even if it's a little more expensive, I think I'll stay there.

Stayed in October 2023. The temperature outside was 20+. The school has air conditioning. At that time, I turned on the heater, it was very hot and baking, so I had to open the window. The location is ok. Not very close or far from the BTS station. Total score 2.5/5

Honestly, it was the worst ever.First of all, when I checked in, I was told that I didn't have a name, and the front desk searched for me for about 3 minutes, then handed me the key without saying anything. When I got to my room, the door was not set up well and was difficult to open, so I struggled for about 5 minutes to finally open it. Even though I had made a reservation for two people, there were only enough amenities for one person.The bed was not made either because the door could not be opened and towels etc. were placed outside. It's really the worst kind of garbage.It is better not to stay overnight.

Stayed for two weeks and enjoyed it! It is close to many konbini, laundry, and the train station. The staff were very nice, especially the ladies that cleaned the rooms and they did an AMAZING job. I can't thank them enough for their hard work. Learn some basic Japanese before coming and it'll make everything much smoother. Would definitely stay again!

Although the facilities are outdated, there is no problem for a quick stay without meals. There is a mini fridge and hair dryer in the room. There is no safety box, so it would be a good idea to have a carry-on with a lock. Check-in is at 15:00, and if you check in before that time, you can check in for an additional 500 yen.Bed and pillows are soft. Air conditioning is centrally controlled and temperature cannot be adjusted. Only strength adjustment is possible. There are pajamas with a room.There are no amenities such as lotion, so it is recommended that you bring your own. The unit bath is equipped with Unilever body soap and shampoo.It's a 5 minute walk to the Fukutoshin Line and a 6 minute walk to the JR Line, so it's a bit time consuming if you have a large carry case, but once you put it down, it's easy to move around. I want a power outlet near my bed. . The desk has 2 power outlets.thank you very much.
