Enttäuschend
Pros:

Das Zimmer war recht gross und gemütlich.

Cons:

Das Personal war überfordert mich essentiellen Dingen, wie Check in und Informationen zum Frühstück. Regelmäßig war während der Rezeptionszeiten einfach niemand da. Die Sauberkeit hat nicht dem Standard entsprochen, den ich aus anderen Hotels in Japan gewöhnt bin. Das Zimmer war extrem dunkel, es ist praktisch kein Tageslicht reingekommen. Der "Balkon" war nicht nutzbar, da der gesamte Platz von Klimaanlagen eingenommen wurde.

Très agréable
Pros:

Dans une rue calme, petit établissement avec tout ce qu'il faut (frigo, micro-onde, kitchenette, et laverie sur le palier). Donne une ambiance traditionnelle avec le confort du moderne

Cons:

Un peu de poussière à certains endroits et surtout le bruit des trains qui passent à proximité

Great stay
Pros:

Great location, washing machines are free of charge and easy to use. Don’t charge the dryer completely and your clothes will be dry 👍 nice and spacious bathroom.

Cons:

The mattress was too hard for me. We had 2 big and small suitcases, no possible to put out our clothes, the room was too small. So we left everything in the suitcase and used it as so.
