Cons:

3日予約していたが、当日オーバーブッキングのため勝手にキャンセルされ、
1日分のホテルを急遽探した。ホテルを探したり、ホテルまでのタクシー代など余計にかかった。
そして、無断キャンセルされた後に、ホテルからの返信はなく、ホテルのロビーの受付も私は知らないと言われた。

THIS IS NOT A HOTEL
Pros:

Comfortable bed

Cons:

They call themselves a “Guestroom”, thus to justify:
No cleaning service whatsoever
Very often vacant reception
VERY small rooms

Also location very far from metro, we only chose it for some reservations we had nearby

Also, VERY high city tax. We stayed at 14 hotels across Japan, literally NOONE had their rate

We had booked 5 nights, stayed only 2 because he booked a HOTEL, not a guestroom
We contacted booking to ask for a refund because we felt scummed, nothing happened

You should choose your partnered accommodation better

Not worth the money should be way much cheaper for this kind of room and service
Pros:

Only the location was good, but not worth the money at all, i had to leave my luggage untill the receptionist came , when i left my luggage i noticed later that my apple airtag disappeared from my luggage and i noticed only after i left , we left our luggage only there downstairs , they should have at least lockers since they dont assist with check in or securing luggage , might fell somewhere else but there was the only place where i left my luggage unattended

Cons:

I found flea on one of the beds made me not able to sleep for the whole night, i stayed only one night
The space of the room is good but maybe it wasnt my lucky day
