Decent room for good price
Stayed in 201, 9 minute walk to the subway and the jr station. The room was super clean.. its a little tight for 4 people, but all we did was sleep and rest. There are two showers on the second floor.. the hot water and size was amazing.. bummed it wasn't in the room... but it wasn't a deal breaker.. there is a toilet on each floor, a little small but.. all japanese rooms are tiny..it was quiet and easy to check in.. the only complaint I had was wish we had more towels for a 14 day stay!!!

There are no staff around to check you in. However, you can easily WhatsApp the owner and he will let you know what to do. Replies very quickly so no issues with that. No curfew, which is good. If you wish to vacuum your room, there are vacuum cleaners located on each floor for your usage. About 10 mins walk to Otsuka station. Quite a few interesting eating and drinking places along the way, with a 7-11 and Family Mart. This is a very basic place so if you don't mind being on your own, this is alright. Room we got (301) was larger than most Japanese hostels and hotels so nothing to complain about that. There's a small restaurant downstairs we didn't try but looks quaint. Three vending machines that charge only 100yen per drink. Even has corn soup or red bean soup.

Aunque busqué cancelar la reserva pre-pagada con varios meses de anticipación debido al COVID, el establecimiento no me reembolsó la tarifa que pagué.
