The location of this hotel is great and the public bath and hotel shuttle are a plus. The staff was kind and efficient. The bed was comfortable, but could have had two pillows per bed. Also they could have upgraded towels as they were small and tiny. We had to ask for extra towels for our two night stay, especially since you need to take the towels from your room to the public bath.

Very convenient place. Very close to the station. The staffs are kind and polite. Food quality of breakfast is good. nice public bath. They also offer free shuttle to several places. The bus is cute looking. Only thing that I felt inconvenient is that my room doesn’t have chest of drawers. So it is difficult to organize my stuffs.
