“It could have been better”
The hotel is modern and new. I like the style and the decor, very minimalist. However, some aspects bothered me: 1. There are no curtains in the room. If you are sensitive to light, you are surely not be able to sleep unless you have a sleep mask. 2. Besides not having curtains, the bottom half of the room window (that takes the full length and hight of the wall) had 100% transparent glass. Meaning you have absolutely no privacy in your hotel room as neighbors could easily see through your window. 3. No clean towels are provided on a daily basis. I understand the rooms are not cleaned every day, but at least clean towels could be provided. 4. The shower drain seemed clogged and water was having a hard time going away. Positive aspects: 1. Location: there is a great bakery nearby (called Tom Sawyer); a convenience store; a coin laundry; sentos and nice restaurants around. 2. The staff was nice and helpful and one of them spoke great english.

“A great stay with wonderful service”
Really beautiful room with a huge bed and lovely sliding doors in the huge windows that make the interior really pretty. The shower was really powerful and they provide large fluffy towels. They have a mini fridge for any small items and there’s combini a minute away. You can easily take the bus but a nearby bus stops and it’s conveniently located next to lots of tourist spots. The gentleman on reception was incredibly helpful, responded to our requests quickly and went out of his way to provide great customer service. Spoke great English so communication was no issue, if you have a question I suggest contacting him through booking.com message feature.

“A new hotel with a lot of potential”
The hotel is quite new and you can see it as everything is new too. It is very clean and it has a good look. Staff is super gentle and they speak a very good English, always available to give you advices or directions. It is nearby some supermarkets and there is a clothes machine service super close (2m walk) which saved our trip!

“Lovely quiet stay”
Hotel was cozy and comfortable, nice and close to some cute places to eat and the Golden Temple. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The room was larger than most we've stayed at in Japan and had a nice balcony looking out to the mountains. Great for sunrise!
