Clean
Pros:

The mattress was a bit hard. And then they go to confuse it all up with using 2 different kinds of times - why am/pm since everyone in Japan knows and use 24H. Stick to 24H clock, and avoid all confusion.

I had a great time at this hotel.
Pros:

Excellent location very close to public transport and convenience store. Shared bathrooms super clean, they provide amenities such as hair dryer, shampoo, etc. I sent my luggage from hotel to hotel and they stored until my arrival.

Overall good but nothing spectacular
Pros:

Good location, nice breakfast included.

Cons:

It was not possible to open the window and the room is very small, thus felt like no air, also the conditioner positioned right above the bed and the air flow during night is not pleasant to sleep but was needed to have better ventilation in the room.

カプセルホテルやドミトリーよりはずっと快適なので、改善点はあるが、また利用したい。
Pros:

価格、立地、清潔、スタッフがフレンドリー

Cons:

部屋着に少し匂いがあった。フラットシーツでなくボックスシーツにして欲しい。壁に作り付けた折り畳み式で良いので、机をわざわざ借りなくていいようにして欲しい。保温ポットでなく湯沸かしポットにして、出来れば各階に設置して欲しい。
