Reasonably convenient for the station, but not an attractive area of the city. Carpet on my floor’s corridor was threadbare and badly stained. Absolutely tiny bathroom with badly outdated fittings and a very big step up required to get in. Bed is rock hard by Western standards (and by the standards of other Japanese hotels I’ve stayed in) and had not been properly made. Laundry is on the smoking floor – why?
On the plus side, free breakfast and curry dinner is welcome, and front desk staff were extremely courteous and helpful.
