Agoda 10.0 Solo Traveler

The room is much larger than other hotels in Japan. Great location and facilities.

Trip.com 1.0 Family

No windows, poor ventilation, and a musty smell. The air conditioner was extremely noisy.

Booking.com 3.2 Couple

Great location and spacious room; enough space to open two large suitcases.

Poor soundproofing; could hear stomping from the room above.
