The staff were helpful, and the location was acceptable for the price.

Our room was not well-structured, there was limited space to open a suitcase. The entrance led directly to the bed, and the bathroom seemed cheap. There was a strong urine odor, like a previous guest had just urinated there. It was VERY off-putting.

soft musicadjustable lightingluggage forwardingcute staff

I loved the dim lighting as I entered. Soft music and adjustable lights in my room made the evenings relaxing. The hotel is on a quieter street. Konbinis and subway access are nearby. Luggage forwarding was well-organized. My luggage arrived in Hiroshima the next day. Staff were cute and the pajamas they provide are superb.

The room cleaning was only scheduled every three days. I found this quite disappointing for the price.

i was pleased with the complete facilities. i found the hair conditioning surprisingly of very good quality and it smoothed my hair during the dry season. the location proved very convenient, as it was very close to a convenience store. it was also a reasonable walk to various attractions.

the rooms get messy quickly and the room cleaning occurring every three days was disappointing. this felt inadequate considering the price i paid. the bins weren't emptied until midday and had to be left outside the room.
