I don't know if you are staying for a long time, but if the door is noisy and the bathroom is too small to stare at people, you can just use the shower.The price is cheap and good, but I wish I had a card key instead of a key.The room is spacious. I wish they would create a smoking area on each floor.

Last time, I was on the 1st floor, so even though it was a private room, I was concerned about the noise from people coming and going, but this time I was on the 3rd floor, so it didn't bother me as much.There are some critical opinions regarding the short reception time at the front desk and the rules regarding key management, but if you consider the cost performance, it is a facility that meets your needs.

Cheap! 2900 yen per night with TV and refrigerator! If you just want a room to sleep in, this is your only choice.

There is no key to the room. (There is a simple valuables box) You cannot lock the room from the inside when you are in the room. There are two washing machines and one dryer, so I couldn't find the dryer, so I ended up going to the coin laundry.Chinese migrant workers? It was full of things.The valuables box was a shelf that looked like office supplies, but I guess it can be opened with a key from another room. I imagined that for a moment. The price is low, so I can recommend it to those who don't mind!

It's good that it's cheap, but the common areas smell like mold even though they take a long time to clean. The ceiling in the bathroom is traumatic (Image not shown). If you're going to act like you're being bossy, you should just do what you're supposed to do. 20240523

It's a cheap hotel. I don't know what the current status of the Eco Plan is, but it's a pretty good deal, but you'll be given a lantern. Electricity cannot be used. It was a great experience that made me reconsider the value of everyday life. Staying overnight is also good for your wallet.

I stayed here over 20 years ago. It was made of concrete, which was innovative at the time. I feel like the rules were strict.
