    It could use better soundproofing because sometimes, you can hear the people outside walking around, due to the hotel being elevated from the ground and made from metal

    The rooms very clean, comfortable and had all the necessary amenities for a short stay.

    It was raining when I arrived, and having to walk through the rain between my room and the lobby wasn't ideal, plus it meant the entranceway to my room got wetter than it would have done otherwise. That was a minor issue though and everything else was fine.

    I was a little hesitant to stay in a container, but it was comfortable and in reality not much different from most Japanese hotel rooms. The staff were great. I appreciated the complimentary microwave meal and other amenities on offer. The massage chair was a nice touch too.

    Just a note for other travellers who are not driving there that the nearest exit (South exit) at Ashikaga station to this property is only accessible by stairs and closes earlier, so there might be a need to plan your travel based on the other exit, but there was an underpass near the property that makes it slightly easier to do so. Also, as it was raining throughout my stay, it was very easy to get drenched in the area with minimal shelter and when going in/out of my room, but it was very helpful that I could borrow an umbrella from the front desk. A small point to add is that there was a pretty high step between the room and the toilet, so it might be a little troublesome for people with weaker knees. Other than the above points to consider, the property was pretty worth staying at for the price.

    The location was quite central between Ashikaga and Ashikagashi stations, making it easy to travel from Narita Airport and to other parts of Ashikaga. There was a bus stop and other attractions nearby and the area was pretty quiet as compared to a more urban area, aside from cars driving past outside. The room was clean and the property provided various amenities for free, including a simple frozen meal, so the stay was quite value for money. It was also helpful that the property assisted with storing my luggage before check-in/after check-out, although this depends on the space available at the front desk.

    No being able to sit anywhere other than the bed.

    The staff at reception were very friendly and helpful. We were given food coupons to use each day so our dinners were included in the price. The room was big enough for two of us.

    The breakfast choice is limited to frozen ready meals, which is not the best thing to have every morning. Maybe, offer some fresh bread or croissants.

    Great room and facilities. Comfortable bed and chair. Exceptional design. Reasonable price. Daily breakfast tokens. Unlimited coffee.

    They didn’t have drinking cups in the room. But you can get some in the front desk

    It was a very interesting to sleep in a Container Van room. The room was well equipped and clean. The massage chair was a great addition

    Room got condensation on floor and walls especially near front door.

    Room was comfortable with all amenities required. For a Japanese hotel room, it felt spacious and airy. Heating was good for a cold night. Free microwave noodles meal was tasty.

    The hotel is situated in the heart of the city, which makes it very convenient for exploring local attractions. The rooms are clean and comfortable. One thing that stands out about the room was the massage chair. It’s a nice touch and offer a bit of relaxation after a long day of sightseeing. Tea/coffee and an option of rice or pasta was provided.

    More pillows on the double bed would have been nice. Only 2 is a bit cheap considering the price.

    The location was right between two major train stations, so it was a short walk to both of them. Additionally, because this hotel is shipping containers, there's no noise from neighbours next door. It was very new and clean, not dated at all. The tub was spacious and deep, perfect for a bath after a long day.
