Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to have a unique room design and great service but the location was a bit secluded. The dining experience was excellent, although the buffet could get crowded. Overall, a good value for money stay.
I stayed at a hotel that was a bit isolated but had a unique traditional Japanese style. The rooms were clean and cozy, although we had a smoking room. The service was exceptional, especially with special dietary requests. The location was far from the port but interestingly close to a soy sauce district. The dining experience was fantastic with delicious buffet options, but it could get crowded sometimes.
I had a unique experience staying at this hotel. The room was interesting, with twin beds on Tatami and no windows that open, which was a bit odd. The service, however, was exceptional, the staff were helpful, polite, and efficient. The hotel's location was quiet, which I appreciated, but it was somewhat far from touristy spots, making it less convenient. The dining experience was incredible with delicious meals, although it could get crowded. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed during my stay.
Staying at this hotel was a mix of great experiences and a few drawbacks. The location was quiet and peaceful but somewhat distant from tourist spots. The service was polite and the staff were helpful, especially with arranging transport. The dining was healthy but could be improved. The rooms were a unique blend of traditional Japanese style with some limitations, and the facilities were satisfactory but not overly impressive.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the service was excellent and the staff were so welcoming and prepared a special vegetarian meal for me, the location was quite far from the port and touristy spots, making it a bit inconvenient. The dining experience was also disappointing as both dinner and breakfast were poor. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel's kind service and special meal made my stay memorable.
