Ok
Pros:

The beds are big, staff are nice.

Cons:

We had to ask to change the room due to a musky smell, I think mainly it was coming from the aircon that needed maintenance, but there was also mold in the curtains. The receptionist was nice and changed us to another room straight away that didn’t have any issues, apart from being small but that’s expected in Japan.
If you’re booking this hotel because of the breakfast, don’t bother. Either you go at 6am or after it will be cold, also not many good options. We also thought the spa would be great for us but tattoos aren’t allowed and they don’t specify that anywhere on the website so it was disappointing.

Super tolles Hotel würde es sofort wieder buchen!
Pros:

Dieses Hotel war einfach außergewöhnlich gut, modern sauber und romantisch, wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Wäsche wasch System auch auch total gut (man konnte auf der QR -Code Seite nach schauen ob eine Waschmaschine grade Verfügbar ist.

Cons:

Leider durften wir den Spa-Bereich nicht benutzen aufgrund von Tattoo, ich verstehe es komplett wieso, fande es trotzdem schade. Vielleicht eine Badezeiten für tätowierte einfügen :)
