The hotel room was a good size. Family of four and we each had our own bed. Had to use the couch to put our luggage on. Bathroom was fine. Hotel is easy walk to the universal studios and all the shops and restaurants. Very short walk to the nearest subway station for easy access to anywhere you want to go.

The hotel was perfect for our family of four. We loved the charming boutique style, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The hotel felt new, was very clean, and we especially appreciated having a washer and dryer in our room. Highly recommend!

The staff was very helpful and the room was clean. However, the front desk leaves at 10pm, leading the hotel unattended overnight. Also, the laundry room is open 24 hours and doors open to the public to the street. Although you need a key card to get back in to hotel and up the stairs, it’s not difficult for someone to tag along to go up to the hotel. I felt unsafe to learn there are multiple entry point up with no one attending the hotel overnight.

"The room looks like it’s been water damaged and the ceiling and walls were bogged with cement. Staff were very nice but the property was very poor. I didn’t like the communal kitchen. I want to make a coffee first thing in the presence myself."

"The hotel is big and the room is big too for our family. The service is really good and they offer free drinks in the lobby. The hotel is old but comfortable. We need to wear our slippers in the hallway because it is a Japanese hotel. My kids enjoyed their comic room even if they don't read ..."
