"This is a good hotel, but I would not reccomend it for occidental travellers.
Pros:
Convenient walkable location. Very spacious and clean room.
Convenient lunch/coffee room with free coffee, water, ramen and teas.
Japanese breakfast delivered to room (no option for continental breakfast). Need to schedule breakfast time.
Coin laundry machine in basement (just 1).
Japanese Spa (did not use it)
Cons:
Very uncomfortable japanese mattress.
Shower stays on for 30 sec at a time (need to keep pushing the handle to restart - not terrible / just inconvenient)
Noisy in the middle of the night. The Starbucks downstairs gets a vehicle around 4 am and it gets loud moving stuff for a about 20 min.
The nearby temple gong sounds 6 times at 6 am.
There are no curtains. There is too much light in summer mornings after 6-7 am.
The TV is very old. no possibility to beam your device or use apps like Netflix. Bring an HDMI cable if you want to connect your laptop."
