Even though the room is hot, the air conditioner is not controlled and can only be used to blow air...You can't open or close the window without using the lever...

I made a reservation three hours in advance. We are very lucky to be able to stay at such a good hotel! . It was raining, so I went to the izakaya in front of the back door and it was a real hit! ️.

Used for twin single use.It's still new, so the rooms and interior are clean and comfortable.There are three elevators, so you don't have to worry about leaving in the morning.Smoking is prohibited inside the building, so it's a paradise for non-smokers.There are plenty of parking lots, restaurants, and convenience stores around the hotel, and a tram stop is also within walking distance.Recommended for both sightseeing and business.

It would be helpful if smoking was completely prohibited on the premises.Smokers seem to be using the smoking area located outside the Marsa Building on the west side. This smoking area was a courtesy of the owner of Marsa Building, and he said that he had no interest in Smile Hotel. This owner is the former owner of Donbei on the first floor (now transferred to another person) and still works there as an employee.If you are a smoker who used this smoking area, please eat at Donbei as a token of our gratitude.
