Great stay at this clean, conveniently located hotel. It’s right inside a covered shopping arcade that connects to many food options, and also just across the street from the tram stop and a large mall housing the bus terminal. Room was comfortable and of a good size. Free drinks are available at a quiet lounge area for guests, and there’s also a nice public bath to relax at too. Would recommend.

The hotel is located in a busy shopping belt. It was good because all the convenient stores are nearby with many food options! We had good choice of food every time we are there.

Very good location. The room is spacious and well designed for the price. It has a nice window view of the shopping mall across. Highlight of my stay was the public bath, they have both indoor and outdoor baths, which were clean and thoughtfully designed. Definitely a place I would come back for!

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to a 7-Eleven and very close to the Karashimacho station, making it very convenient for travel. Amenities are available for self-service, and complimentary drinks are provided. You can also borrow umbrellas on the 2nd floor. There is a public bath and an ice machine. On the 3rd floor. lf you are traveling with children, the hotel provides a separate amenity set for kids. The shampoo, conditioner, and body soap are from Pola. The breakfast is fantastic; you can make your own ramen and there are delicious-looking hamburgers. The breakfast spread isn't large, but it's very high quality. The staff are cheerful, friendly, and speak English well.
