I have used it well before. It's very convenient that the station is right next to it. The landlady was kind. I was saved because the price was low.

The host is very friendly and staff was diligent and helpful. The room was quite spacious, there was a clean kitchen with complete equipment and a well-maintained bathroom.Unfortunately I was disappointed with messy management and poor communication. I’ve twice confirmed my request to check in early and they agreed. But when I arrived, the host seemed confused and in the end, I still checked in according to their schedule, which ultimately had an impact on our travel plans. We were also asked for around 2000+ yen for city funds or something, which was never told beforehand (they reasoned that their room was cheap so they needed to charge this fee, even though our hotel in Osaka was much cheaper and there were no sus extra fees).They also promised to move our luggage to our room, but when we arrived, our luggage was still displaced and worse, we were moved to another hotel unilaterally. They didn't even explain why and asked our opinion. They were in such a hurry to send us to another hotel, and we were too tired by then to argue.And also note that they have coin laundry that requires paying 200 yen (which was also not in the hotel information).

If you need a place to sleep and that is it, then this place is good. If you plan on using the advertised amenities, proceed with caution. While there is a kitchen advertised with the place don't expect to be able to use it. When we used the kitchen, we were told to hurry up, and then were eventually ushered back into our rooms and told to eat there instead of the public dining bar. Our cooking time was maybe around 30-45 minutes and was by no means late at night. This occurred while the hostess was checking in another group of visitors, and it felt like she didn't want any of the guests to see or interact with each other. It is important to note this, as the kitchen is an advertised amenity, and there was even a sign in the kitchen saying to feel free to use it. Additionally, the wifi was incredibly spotty and randomly gave out.

Firstly, we need to talk about Oyama. She is a kind-hearted who will be helping you every time you need her. Moreover, the rooms, the showers and the restrooms are clean without any dust. I recommend.
