I stayed overnight for work.If you just want to stay cheaper than the surrounding market prices, you can stay here. I can't take it slow.However, cleaning has not been done thoroughly. I can't write much about the bathroom in particular, but I would like it to be thoroughly cleaned. The location is good, as you can quickly go to shopping streets, sightseeing spots, and drinking spots.

Use when traveling on a business tripFirst of all, the front desk staff was kind, polite, and pleasant.thank youI think the location is good as it is within walking distance from the downtown area.I was a little disappointed about the room.Maybe it can't be helped because it's old, but the room was kind of damp and stuffy.I didn't feel like the cleaning was thorough, and when I dropped something into the gap, I noticed it was full of dust.It may be worth the price, but if another hotel is available, you might want to choose another hotel.I just sleep and don't worry about it! I think it's a good option for those who say so, as it's reasonably priced and in a good location.

I used it for work.Although it was a single room, the room was large enough for one person, and the bed was wide and comfortable.The bathroom and toilet are perfect for my height of 170 cm. There was a large full-length mirror so I was able to check my appearance. I travel a lot and have everything I need.The front desk staff is also very pleasant and kind.I chose it because it was cheap, and it was the right choice.

I chose 3 because the room was large enough to spread out my carry bag. So the toilet and bathroom were small...?Breakfast was definitely a bento box.However, as others have written, I didn't feel like eating when I had a lot of fried food in the morning, so I ended up having lunch 😅You can have a bento box for breakfast, but I think it's your preference, but I prefer something lighter 😣
