This is a business accommodation.The shared bath, toilet, and refrigerator are also shared and not in the room.There is WiFi and the internet speed is decent.There aren't many places around the hotel that you can walk to except a convenience store and a small restaurant.However, breakfast and dinner are both good in volume and menu.If you are staying on business, this is the most comfortable place.

Although it was high season, I dare to write down the price, but with this content, 7500 yen for a room without meals is expensive.Also, the lights in the bathroom were suddenly turned off, so I thought this was a good idea. (As others have written, the shower did not have hot water and had a large washing area)We managed to get back to the changing room using the moonlight, but a little while later an Asian woman who was running the washing machine came in and we were both surprised.(Although the other person didn't really care, and I was also wearing pants and a T-shirt, so it didn't really matter.)Apparently it's the original power supply? Apparently the light was turned off, and even when I pressed the switch in the changing room and outside, the light remained off...Honestly, I don't think I would have posted this if it wasn't for this...One thing to keep in mind is that the air conditioner in the hallway is working pretty well, and the air conditioner in the room gets really cold.

The rooms and bathrooms are made by craftsmen, and the meals depend on the plan, but they are very delicious. I am very satisfied with the cleanliness.

It was probably originally a company dormitory, and as you can see, it was an unadorned inn, but it had everything you needed and the food was plentiful and delicious.The bathroom, toilet, and room were well-cleaned and I felt comfortable.The price was a little high during Golden Week, but I still felt it was a good value for money.

The plan was for 8 people to stay for about 2 months.I often use business hotels for work. I've stayed at various accommodations across the country, but this was the first time I'd seen a place where lights were turned off at 9pm and people were asked not to bring in alcohol.This is the kind of inn where the landlady will call the company and say, ``Please tell them to use the inn's dining room for alcohol.'' ``As the name of the inn suggests, it's an inn for working people...I was keeping an eye on it with the surveillance camera, and people were coming in and out of the room even after midnight!'' I was so scared!We are not students on a school trip, nor are we hospitalized due to illness, nor are we in institutions such as prisons.There are signs in the rooms and toilets telling people not to do this or that.Three days after staying, the head office president called the landlady to say he was feeling unwell and was canceling the stay, but the landlady somehow asked her to stay the night, so she decided to extend the stay. Then, a few days later, he again asked her to leave.I've been traveling all over the country on business, and for the past eight years I've never had a problem with accommodation facilities, but what could be going on? There may be a point about the inn, but I don't understand it. “I choose my customers! I was surprised at his blatant attitude.When I consulted with the Jalan Support Center, they replied that there was no mention of lights-out time in the accommodation plan description of the inn, so if there was such a rule, they had instructed them to write it down so that it would be clear when making a reservation. there was. I'm a hard user of Jalan and you can tell by looking at my usage history. The support center cannot be reached by phone, but they responded via email.But the food is delicious!This is recommended for those who want to feel like a student on a school trip and who want to stay under their control.The walls are smooth and you can hear snoring from the next room, so I recommend bringing earplugs.

This was my first time using this hotel as my regular lodging was closed. Reasonably priced at 6,000 yen including two meals. The restaurant is run by a Japanese restaurant, so the food was delicious. Judging from other reviews, the reason why there are so many detailed local rules seems to be an unavoidable measure due to the frequent troubles caused by foreign guests making noise until late at night. The advantages are that it's cheap, the food is delicious, there's a restaurant nearby, there's a convenience store, you can fish at the mouth of the Seki River next door, and the alcohol in the restaurant is cheap. The disadvantages are that there are many detailed local rules, there are no slippers, there is no hot water in the large bath if there are few customers, and the cafeteria is closed on Sundays. So, on Sundays, you can bring your own food and alcohol. I think this is an inn that has very different reviews depending on the person.

It feels more like a bar for foreign workers than an inn for workers. There are many foreigners who make loud noises with their doors open, and due to the differences in national characteristics, loud Chinese voices and laughter can be heard. There was a sign in the hallway prohibiting smoking while walking, but everyone ignored it. You walk down the hallway with a cigarette in your mouth, and the door is open so the smoke from the cigarette inside the room also flows out into the hallway. Nishinari's Doya is more comfortable. I'll keep my manners. However, the problem lies with the guests rather than the inns, so depending on the day, you may be able to stay cheaply and comfortably. The food is delicious.
