    We booked a room for 3 people but it only came with 2 single beds or what they call twin bed but it does not fit 3 adults. We had to call since it’s an unmanned hotel, but they weren’t very flexible on trying to fix the problem. In the end, as i kept insisting they finally gave us a futon bed..

    The hotel was in a good location. The rooms were clean and a decent size.

    The room is newly furnished and clean. The only downside is that the room is a bit tiny and lacks a balcony where you can dry the diving gear, but all this comes at a cost. The location is excellent; it is close to the pier and restaurants, yet quiet at night.

    Not a complaint, but, prior to check in at 15:00, somewhere to leave our bags would be useful.

    We found the room very clean and with extremely comfortable beds. The shower room and toilet were great, and the air-con worked very well. We also liked the kitchen facilities and the tatami seating area.

    It is specified in the hotel info but the only parking we managed to find was close to the ferry port. The cost per night is between 1200-1500 yens depending on the hours. The fact that the main room has an extractor makes it a bit strange with the climatization system. If you stop the AC and the extractor during the night the temperature rises a lot and the humidity becomes unbearable. If you keep everything running you'll wake up with a headache. I was pretty much turning it on and off during the night.

    Very good location. It was clean and comfortable. The place is close to everything (within walking distance), restaurants, shopping areas, nightlife. The shared kitchen is very well equipped and very useful if you want to prepare and have a meal there.

    you need to do a self check in and check out, everything is with codes on the doors, (the code from my room was the same as for the main door) fortunately Japan is very safe as there is no staff in the accommodation. There is an additional building next to the room I think is just half finished, the kitchen is very nice for some self cooking but the building needs better care and decoration. however we did enjoyed more than one night and for breakfast also .

    The room size is very good for Japanish standard, very good value for the money paid, the location is convenient, close to the main streets but far enough for good sleep at night since the street is quiet.

    We rented two rooms, and one was nicer than the other. Certain amenities were not available/working in one room (e.g., tissues had not been replaced, the soap dispenser was broken). It was not a huge deal, but we noticed it since we had another room to compare. The more "neglected" room was also at the top of the building, on the western side of the building, in the middle of summer.... so, pretty hot. Eventually the AC was able to cool the room, but it took a long time.

    The beds were very comfortable. The hotel was clean, with pretty decorations, and the location was convenient, safe, and cheap! The rooms were quiet (I did not hear other guests).

    There is one aspect I didn’t like: they didn’t communicate that the kitchen was closed. As we could see in the pictures on Booking, there was such a space where you could make a coffee and have a sandwich in the morning. When we got there, the area (situated on the top floor) was closed. A minor inconvenience, but it’s good to know before arriving, given the fact that there is no kettle to prepare coffee or tea in the room.

    The location was the highlight for us. The hotel is situated in a quiet area, with many restaurants nearby and within walking distance (around 15 minutes) to the port and bus terminal. The local market, a Family Mart location (5 minutes walk), and a public laundry (2 minutes walk) are also nearby. We loved the spacious and very comfortable room. Although the overall cleanliness was good, there were some areas where dust had accumulated and hadn't been cleaned off (this is a problem that we encounter often in hotels in Japan 😊 almost like a tradition, already). The hotel doesn’t have any staff on-site, and you can contact them via an app. For us, it was as if they were there! The staff were friendly and always ready to assist us with any requests we had and answered quickly to our messages. Even though the room is big, the only storage space is a couple of hangers in a corner, but this was not a problem for us as we never take all our clothes out of the suitcases when we travel.

    I'm not sure there was much of anything I didn't like. The room had a refrigerator and there's a Family Mart right by it so that was great. There's also a lot of shopping a short walk away. All good. No parking on the site and the lot they directed us to was closed but there was plenty of parking right by the lot so even that wasn't bad.

    It was very clean and comfortable and the bathroom was great.

    It was really really nice, the room was clean and comfy, they were giving us fresh towels every day and they were answering fast questions. What we really loved was that there was a common room for using and it had things for also cooking (perfect for cutting fruits etc) and big tables in case you have games etc. It was a great spacious place to relax (shown in the photo).

    The room was clean and comfortable. It had easy access to port and bus terminal. There were lots of choices of eating facilities and close to a Family Mart.

    They didn't offer cleaning in room even when we stay there for 4 days.. that's bit unhygienic.. they can add water kettle in room as there is no common room area..
