I stayed there for a long time, but it was so loud from the club or snack bar outside that I could hear it all the way into the room, so I couldn't sleep. I think the walls are thin. You can hear footsteps and people talking in the hallway.The room wasn't very spacious and I had to come into the room without permission to clean it and change the location of my luggage, which was very uncomfortable.

The room is a perfect size for one person.The cleaning was poor, the garbage bags were much smaller than the trash cans, and the pillowcases were very yellowed.The man at the reception is not that friendly.Since I was staying for a week, I chose this hotel based on cost performance, but if you are looking for better service, I think you could choose another hotel nearby.

Used for business on weekdays. I was worried because it said it was a hostel, but the rooms have separate baths, toilets, and refrigerators. Please be careful where there is noise leakage, but personally it didn't bother me that much. It's close to the station, and a convenience store and supermarket are about 5 minutes walk away, so the location is perfect. The cost performance is the best, so I would like to use it again.

Just the location in front of the station is sufficient. The parking lot is gravel, so you have to keep your distance between cars, but it's located near the hostel.The bath is small, so if you want a relaxing soak, you can only get there by car, but we recommend taking a day trip to the hot springs.

I liked the American atmosphere at the front desk.The response from the women was also very good.The room was clean and nice, but the entrance to the toilet was narrow and difficult to enter.There is a free coffee maker and water server at the front desk.The stairs are narrow and steep, making it a little difficult to carry large suitcases.

Be careful when bringing children❗You can hear children's cries, noises, footsteps, etc.The amount of water in the shower was inconsistent, and sometimes it got very hot, if not boiling.It is not recommended for small children as there is a risk of burns.

Rating without considering sound: 4 stars★★★★☆ (-1 means late check-in time)—Details below—The rooms and facilities themselves are stylish and very clean, and although small, they are spacious enough for a normal night's sleep. The location was good, and the receptionist was kind and nice.However, the walls are ridiculously thin, and you can clearly hear all conversations in the hallway, and even when you enter the room, you can hear people talking, the TV, and even plastic bags from the convenience store, so there is no soundproofing. is.Therefore, comfort is greatly affected by the manners and quality of the guests at the time, but when I stayed there, they were playing Skype or something at high volume (I could hear the other person's voice), After that, there was a person who was forever playing computer games at high volume and whose every movement was very dynamic, so I think it was a big mistake. On the other hand, I think people who are able to do this kind of thing will be satisfied because they don't care about the morals of other customers.Also, as others have mentioned, you can hear snack karaoke at night. Everyone was pretty good in their own way, but since these were people who were looking forward to going to a snack bar, I was able to relate to them emotionally. In reality, it was just as lively, but I was more concerned about the lack of morals among the fellow guests who couldn't pay attention to other guests.If you are looking for business or refreshment, we strongly recommend choosing another hotel, even if it costs a few thousand yen more. It's probably a reasonable price considering the market prices around here, but the fact that it's cheaper than the market price means that not only the facilities but also the customer base are decent. I feel like if the hotel at least recommended earphones, it would make a huge difference in comfort.Lastly, check-in starts at 4pm, which was a negative point for me personally.
