Overall, we loved our stay at this hotel! The rooms were nice, spacious, and comfortable. The only downside was that it was a little farther from the train station than we had expected, but it was still a great experience overall. We would definitely consider staying here again on our next visit!

Excellent position, near the subway station and bus stops. Hotel provides some drinks every night and a selection of tea and bread every morning, with no extra charge. Rooms are bigger than the average japanese hotel. The only downside is the room cleaning service: we noticed that they didn't really clean the room on cleaning day (we found trash on the flooor and near the bed, we didn't get new pajamas nor a refill of teabags), but towels and amenities were properly restocked.
