Not as great as advertised, location is wonderful
The place looks cool, in a good area, but it’s tiny. The room cleanliness was fine, but the bathroom had a distinct bad odor throughout, we cleaned ourselves, the staff cleaned it but it still didn’t smell so good. The AC was strong but sometimes you’d wake up hot after going to be d cold, which was odd.
It’s ok, not great, but the area makes up for it. We hated that the cramped 2 machine laundromat on the same floor as the reception, and the presence of the “public bath” there, as they took away from the formality of the reception area. Also the “garden” is basically a small glass box surrounded by chairs in the lobby. Not like the commercials.
The best things was that there was a coin laundry and cafes 1 min walk from the hotel which was wonderful.
There were great convenient stores close by too.
Not too close to train stations either.

I would absolutely stay here again. The staff was friendly and helpful. The entire vibe of the hotel really set the tone. The breakfast was also excellent with plenty of Japanese and western options. I also loved being able to walk out of the hotel and have a plethora of restaurants to choose from, not to mention a Family Mart right on the corner!
