    The hotel room was really small, making it tough to fit a medium suitcase. Not enough counter space, and I found pink mold in the bathtub. Had to clean it myself. If you want a roomier and cleaner space, this might not be the best pick.

    Great location and friendly staff.

    Ishii San at the counter wasn't very polite nor helpful. I repeatedly stated in Japanese that my credit card will not work at the self check in counters but that payment could only go through the reception payment machine... Instead of acknowledging me the first time he made me try the self check in counter thrice and when it didn't work begrudgingly went to the reception to settle payment where things happened just as I explained it would. There was no apology at all from Ishii San nor any form of service recovery instead he just gave a really unhappy look and shoved my credit card back at me without even letting me know that check in has been completed.. The worst service I've ever expericed in Japan and I used to live there!

    Onsen was nice and location is convenient

    While I was checking in on the hotel using their system. This Indian national staff so rudely confront me when I am struggling understanding the scan passport thing. He was pointing out that do I understand English like what, while English is not my first language, I am using it for the 8 years now with my work. The only thing is that he approach me first rudely. Why not help ne instead in a polite manner.

    Facility is great and location is near Hibiya line

    Too dusty and self check in kiosk instead of staff doing it. Only check in and check out day able to store luggage. Quite dusty everywhere probably due to static from electric. Room made up only every three days is okay but prefer at least garbage pickup instruction.

    Checkin was difficult. No service or hospitality of any kind. Staff didn’t care and relied on interfaces to do anything. Location was misleading. Just a horrible experience when we expected a simple cheap hotel. This take skills to ruin a stay we had little expectation from.

    Nothing at all.
