It's a little older, but the rooms are a little larger than modern business hotels. There are Ban'a Temple and Ashikaga School, so it's a good location and a fun walk. And I could see that they were trying their best to do whatever they could.

I don't think there are any other reviews that seem dissatisfying, so I'm very satisfied with the facility. If you try it, you'll see that everything from customer service to the interior is taken care of. I think it can't be helped that it feels like a long-established store... There was a tourist spot (?) in front of it, so I used it in August, and it was nice and quiet in the morning. I felt it was more than adequate for the price. I was more than satisfied with the variety of breakfast I had this time. It seemed that preparations had been made due to the recent frequent earthquakes, and evacuation drills were also conducted. Therefore, I was able to use it with confidence.

Considering the price, I think it's a very cost-effective business hotel!Although some places felt old, there were plenty of services such as shampoo set (shampoo, conditioner, face wash, body soap) rental, gown rental, etc., so I was able to have a fulfilling stay!I felt like the breakfast could have had more variety, and I think it's reasonable considering the price...!

It's a very old hotel, but the WiFi in the hotel is perfect and the water quality is drinkable.Unfortunately, I was about to go to bed in the middle of the night. When I was lying on the bed and swiping my phone, I felt an itch on my face. It turned out to be an unknown insect crawling on my face, which made me sleep uneasy all night. The next morning, I showed the toilet paper wad with bugs to the front desk lady. The lady said it was the first time she had encountered such a problem with a guest and she felt very sorry.When the incident happened in the middle of the night, I squeezed the bug vigorously with toilet paper, but when I showed it to the front desk lady the next morning, it was still alive...The result of subsequent negotiations was that the boss was willing to give me a discount on the house price as compensation.I can accept this handling method, but if I have the opportunity to visit Ashikaga again in the future, I will not consider staying here again.

The location is great, with Ban'a-ji Temple right in front of you and sightseeing spots within walking distance. The free breakfast was also delicious. Honestly speaking, I wish the shower had a little more water flow!
