The staff here are literally the most decent, warm and genuine people I have ever met at a hotel. One particular lady at reception made a lovely origami note for my daughter concerning her broken arm that was in plaster in a sling.

Everything about this place was amazing. The room was larger than the usual in Japan. I loved that there was a gym, and it’s well in the center but not too loud. It is close to everything! I love that there was also a bath tub. The beds were comfy.

The room was spacious, really loved the design and the headboard detail 😻 the lobby has tons of cool books and magazines, games, vinyl, juice, coffee, croissants (free of charge) and even wine and beer dispenser ( around 500¥ per drink). The hotel offers free bikes! I wish we stayed a bit more here. Hope to visit the hotel next year!

The room was ample in size, especially for Japan. Hotel was in a good location. Not city centre, but 2 stops away in a quiet neighbourhood with a lot of history. Walking distance to everything you need, supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants. Staff were helpful an always happy to accommodate any requests. Beds were comfy and a good size, but only as single beds. No double bed, however, futons are available to use in the tatami room.

Next door to Imperial Palace Gardens - unique butterflies & birds, trees 300+ yrs old - great for early/late walks open 24hours. On the main subway with only a few stops downtown. 15 mins walk from amazing Raku Museum, also Textile Museum and Niljo Castle (slightly further - Home of the Shogun)
