Simple, small, lovely staff, great location!
Pros:

Super friendly, new and clean. Everything you could need. We got a great deal on their tiniest room and it was small! Mind you, we only came back to sleep at night and the in-room washing machine, second sink in the kitchenette, etc made it very usable. Our room looked straight into a wall which actually turned out to be great! We could keep the window open and no rain got in but you could hear it hitting the rooflines. Hospitality of the staff was second to none. Location right off Nishiki Market was excellent. We opted for a morning trip to Family Mart / Lawson, etc for breakfast and the shower/bath was hot, toilet was clean so there were positives even though the bathroom was tiny. Honestly, my review is to say if you are a seasoned traveller and aren’t high maintenance, you’ll be very satisfied here!

Cons:

If you need a big bathroom (or a good configuration that can cater for more than one adult at a time), you will be underwhelmed. That said, it is what it is and the second sink (located in the kitchenette) solved our dramas!

Great location. Hard bed & pillows. Unpleasant smell.
Pros:

Location is great. You walk straight outside and you are basically at the Nishiki Markets! They are located at the end of the street about a 2 minute walk away. Not far to walk to Subway approx 10 minutes. Despite being so close to everything, its in a quiet location which is great. Plenty of dining options and shops all close by within a 5-10 minute walk. Bonus to have a washing machine, came in very handy.

Cons:

Bed and pillow are extremely hard, was difficult for sleeping. Pillow is size of a chair cushion and super hard. Constant unpleasant smell in the room, we think its due to the kitchen drain having no waste drainage. You can open the window slightly which helped with the smell. Didn't use any kitchen facilities so cannot comment on that. Small room but big enough for the 2 of us with bags. Staff very friendly and have good English and they helped us with forward luggage services.

Perfect place, staff and location!
Pros:

Hands down the best hotel I’ve stayed at in Japan, ever! Wonderful staff who treat you more like family than guests and can assist you with the best options for traveling to your next destination (they even have maps!). Very clean room, staff even escorts you to do an initial room intro, all the amenities I needed were there including a robe / slippers. They even guided me on how to use the in room washing machine and air dry system. One other big convenience is their free filtered water dispenser in the lobby. Worth every penny and I’d definitely stay there again and recommend to others!

Highly recommend, best stay during my Japan trip
Pros:

The location, the amenities (a washing machine in the room!), and the room as a whole were great. There wasn't a single thing I would complain about, and every aspect of my stay was great. The staff was helpful and attentive.

The rooms are beautiful, spacious, and fully equipped with a mini kitchen and washer/dryer. The beds are very comfortable and everything feels brand new. The staff and couple who run the place are absolutely lovely and incredibly helpful with everything. The hotel is centrally located just steps away from the train/metro station and the Nishi market. Highly recommended!
