I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The staff was very helpful and friendly, although their English was limited, which made communication sometimes challenging. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to Nishiki Food Market, which I loved visiting. While the dining options were good, I wish there were more variety at breakfast. Overall, I found good value for my money, but I would have appreciated complimentary Wi-Fi.

I had a pleasant stay overall, the hotel is located right in the center of town, making it super convenient to explore. The room was clean and ready for sleep, but I found it a bit small for sharing with a group of five. The service was quick and helpful, though the language barrier was noticeable. Dining was a standout, as the traditional Japanese meals were quite the experience. I think the prices were fair, but I wish the room size was a bit bigger.
