My stay at the hotel was pretty good overall. The location is convenient with easy access to the metro station and shopping areas. The rooms are clean and spacious, but a bit outdated. The service was helpful, although there were some communication issues. The dining options offered a good variety but could get crowded. The facilities were decent, and the price was reasonable for what was provided.

The hotel rooms might be tiny, but they are clean and worth the price paid. The cozy and comfortable atmosphere adds a nice touch. The service, though friendly and even Korean-speaking, could be challenging for English communication. The location is convenient with nearby convenience stores, and ensuring the hotel address in Japanese is recommended. The dining experience offers a variety of affordable Japanese and Western food options but can get crowded with early morning tour groups. Overall, good value for money.

I found the hotel to be a mixed experience with its pros and cons. While the rooms were clean and amazing, they were on the smaller side and quite noisy, especially on higher floors. However, the location near Minami-morimachi Station was convenient, and having a washing machine and dryer for guests was a bonus. The dining options were varied but could be a bit overpriced at times.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms, although small, were impeccably clean. The service, with staff speaking Korean, was helpful, although they almost froze my credit card trying to force it through without a pin. The location, just outside the hotel with convenient access to the metro and various shops, was ideal for exploring nearby attractions. The dining experience, offering a good variety at a slightly high price, was satisfactory. Overall, a comfortable and valuable stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were quite dark and had a lingering smell of smoking despite being designated as non-smoking, which was disappointing. However, the service at the reception desk was excellent, with polite and helpful staff who even assisted me in booking my next hotel in Japan. The location was convenient, being near a JR railway station and close to shopping areas, although some might find it far from useful transport. The dining options were varied and reasonably priced, but the breakfast area tended to get crowded early. Overall, the facilities were sufficient but basic.
