"We spent 8 nights here, using it as a base to explore. It is a newer hotel with a classy, restrained style, located across the street from a metro/local railway station with an associated 8-floor shopping mall built above.
Check-in was easy; many of the staff speak at least a little English. Check-out was also easy; we paid an extra 2,000Y for 2 hours later check-out time. Nearby was an area where many little amenities are available – toiletries, tea/coffee supplies, etc.
The room was nicely designed; the wet room, toilet and sink were all separate. Fridge and kettle were in-room, while there are microwaves and vending machines on a couple of floors. We booked one of the smaller rooms – less wide, but still enough space for us to both move around. The twin beds were comfy, though we had to ask for extra pillows as only one each is standard.
The HVAC system was efficient and VERY quiet. The TV was great; we were able to cast our iPad to it. The laundry has three efficient washers and three dryers; payment is via the web; cash payment was not an option.
We paid the extra charge for the breakfast buffet; this was a highlight. There’s a range of hot and cold foods, mostly Western but some with a Japanese twist, and there were some changes daily. Our favourite was the soft-serve ice cream machine – the vanilla-matcha swirl is to die for!
The staff were friendly, competent and helpful; overall we were very pleased with the hotel – we cannot think of any real issues or concerns."
