Nice hotel with a view (we're on the 6th floor). On the first morning there was a breakfast jam and we had to wait a bit. Breakfast buffet was sufficient and good. Room, toilet etc very clean. For the wet umbrellas, there is a machine that "covers" the umbrella with a plastic cover so that it doesn't drip all over it.

We got a room facing the outside wall and apparently these are different than the other rooms.Our room was very small and you could hardly fit two suitcases in the double room. The walls are extremely noisy and you can hear every car passing by on the street. The bathroom is a small wet room with a shower, toilet and sink. There was no space here to store our toiletry bags.However, most of the other travelers in our group had nicer rooms. With a full body rainforest shower and more space. It seems to be a bit of a matter of luck which room you get.The employees are all very friendly and accommodating. Every day our room was cleaned properly and the beds were made nicely.The breakfast has a very Italian feel and you will find rolls and bread rather than Asian breakfasts such as miso soup.Overall a good hotel with quite small and simple rooms.However, I would like larger rooms for a future visit.

The room is clean! When booking, there is a discount of NT$11,000 for five nights for two people, excluding early reservations. Super big bed! But it is still difficult to fully open both suitcases! Breakfast is not recommended, it is 2,200 yen per person, and is suitable for foreigners (there are a lot of lettuce salads and homemade bread). The staff is very kind. There is a free large bath downstairs. There are many restaurants nearby! Recommended when encountering discounts

Stayed here for 2 nights on our tour of Japan. Everything worked perfectly here. Except for breakfast, great. Slept perfectly. Water dispensers in the hallways.I would stay again at any time.

I was extremely disappointed with this hotel. The front desk staff were not only unprofessional but downright rude and impatient. The room was small, with a window facing the courtyard, and it was impossible to open—no privacy at all. The room felt cramped and uncomfortable, and there wasn’t even any bottled water provided-had to go to the elevator area to get some. This stay was a complete letdown, and I certainly won’t be returning.
