"Hotel was clean, staff were friendly. Tons of food options close by. Location was great, quick walk to the subway."

"The hotel doesn't have a main entrance in the usual sense of what you would expect. You have to use a side door at the front of the property and get a lift to the 4th floor. Not a major issue, but nobody is there to assist with bags etc. The location is excellent, You are right in the middle of a major shopping district with an abundance of bars and restaurants. Opposite the hotel is a main train staion so getting around was easy. But everything you need is easy on foot and really accessible. The hotel is really nicely appointed with a central garden. Note however, the hotel is 9-floors. The garden is in the central atrium of the hotel. We booked rooms with garden views, which had a terrace (not that we used it). The amenities were good, but a lot of the hotel amenties are open to the public. There is a shop and restaurants at ground and the two floors above which can get busy with shoppers. With the garden view rooms, you have access to a lounge. This was nice with plenty of nibbles and drinks (all included in the room rate). The fitness suite was also well appointed. The only real negative for me was the breakfast. It felt like a canteen, not an upmarket hotel. Nothing was laid at your table, you had to lay your own table by collecting cutlery, cups, plates (which were plastic!). The food wasn't great either. Would i stay here again? Probably not. For the price we paid, other hotels in other Japanese cities were far better quality and felt much more luxurious."

"Staff was great. Breakfast in the main restaurant was expansive but a little crowded at times. Breakfast in the lounge was less expansive but more than sufficient and far calmer than the restaurant. Rooms were satisfactory. Lounge was a nice place to relax but I expected more drink and smack options during quiet times. "

"Air conditioning didn't really work properly. "
