"We love this hotel. My daughter and I stayed here last year and were delighted to return with my husband. The rooms are well-equipped, clean, and designed to be comfortable and functional. The view from rooms 1213 and 1214 was of the street below and looked out onto Mount Rokko.
The staff was excellent! Some of them spoke English. They were very helpful in getting us taxis, storing our luggage, shipping our luggage, and anything else we needed.
We used the laundry facilities, and the washer/dryers were great! The cost was 500 yen, which covered both washing and drying, as well as the detergent. I did have to use an extra drying cycle. The machines lock, and a timer displays the remaining time. That was helpful to know when to come back because someone else was using them, and also when to return to pick up your clothes.
We attended the evening's dessert around 8 PM. Last year, the desert was ice cream with toppings. This year, it was an ice cream float with flavors I had never seen in the United States.
My favorite part of the room was the long bathtub! The bathroom facilities were beautiful and of high quality. The beds were comfortable and had one feather pillow and one polyfiber filling in the other. There was enough room to walk around the two beds, which were pushed together. The refrigerator was a little small, but it worked for us. My husband loved the kettle so much that he bought one to take back home.
The price was very reasonable!"
