Location, staff, facilities are excellent. Stayed in Japanese room was brilliant. Only downside was a little aged and as a municipal building labels on everything. But the best value for money hotel I’ve ever stayed in.
Japanese room was a cool experience. Very close to deer park. Can buy the deer crackers at convenience store downstairs. Cosplay was fun. Origami folding was great too
Staff helped us to get a refund from expedia, sleeping on the floor was very challenging for myself, girl friend was fine but we decided to leave. Staff was incredibly helpful, would recommend to any traveller.
Nothing compares for the value. Absolutely incredible people. Amazing staff. You will not be disappointed. I'm flabbergast at the quality to price ratio. You will have walking access to everything. This venue is incredible.
What a wonderful hidden gem. My room was a traditional Japanese room with a wonderful view over the square and monuments. I have great memories of it. Such lovely staff too who went out their way to make me feel at home and offered lots of activities onsite (Origami etc).
A lot of restaurant closes early nearby and there is no restaurant inside but there is a full shared kitchen area.
Wifi didn’t work in the room but it did on the 1st floor. There is a shared internet/computer room separately from the room we stayed on the floor so maybe that would have worked better if I got out of my room.
All staff were very helpful. We enjoyed origami and calligraphy that the staff showed how to.
Tea ceremony was great, too. We definitely stay again next time.

Not Bad for the money
This place isn’t close to the stations but it’s very handy to see the shrines and other places like restaurants and convenience store. It doesn’t get 5 stars cause there isn’t even one cup in the room. Had to make coffee in a paper cup without a spoon and supply your own coffee! Nice view from the window. Friendly staff and spacious. Well priced.
I stayed for 4 nights and had a great stay. Walking distance to area sightseeing spots and shopping arcades were just around the corner. I stayed in Japanese style room and it was spacious and comfortable. People who worked there are very nice and friendly.
