The location was fantastic. It was close to japanese food shops and shows. i found the hotel staff very helpful and they understood english well. the room was quiet and clean, and the size was accurately described. the buffet breakfast was also good!!!

the rooms were very small and i felt there was no drawer or hanging space available. suitcases had to be placed under the bed, and i had to bring them out every time i needed something. it was a bit inconvenient.
