The check in and check out was extremely simple. Room setup and shower were both great. Having the laundry in the room was very convenient. Good location with highly rated restaurants and shops within walking distance. The negatives: - Being on the first floor and near the street is very loud. Could constantly hear sirens and people talking - There was a sewer smell of the window was open and the bathroom was used - The front desk is typically empty. You can get in touch with staff if you need but it feels less available - If you stay less than 7 days there is no room cleaning and no information for what to do with trash or getting extra towels, soap, etc.

Great location and very clean - we recommend it!
Excellent location, just a few minutes walk from subway, plenty of restaurants, great shopping, shrines and other tourist sights. The check-in process is on-line with a remote video-linked agent available to answer questions and confirm room codes etc. When we needed in-person assistance, somebody came to us very quickly. The property was very clean, and although quite small, was just big enough for our family of 4, for 4 nights. Only negatives were; the washing machine had only Japanese instructions, so we needed to ask for a member of staff to come and explain. Even then, we had questions once we started using it, so it needed more than one training visit! Also the spa facility, while good, is too expensive when you consider most other places don't charge. It would also benefit from more relaxation loungers, there was only one when we used it. We would definitely recommend this place and hope to return one day!

Excellent hotel!!
I took my family of 5 for a family vacation. This was a perfect location because it was close enough to all of the attraction the city has to offer, but it was just far enough where we were able to get a nice rest after a long day of touring the beautiful country. I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel, as it was a mini apartment where anything and everything was within a short walk, including grocery stores, coffee shops, subway station, and much more. It was nice and clean and my entire family truly enjoyed the place. My entire family fit comfortably and having the mini kitchennete was fantastic! We had a wonderful experience.

This is a new Apartment Building . From the use of new concrete materials for walls ,to V shaped plastic wall joints (no caulking used) in the bathroom) the finishes are the work of artistian. You can imagine the good feeling of comfort because everything including furniture, bed and bedding is new. I wonder if I am able to live here again next time.

The apartment, lobby and entire place was amazing. Our room was great except all the linen and pillows. I don’t have the exact words to describe what we could smell, but it would be a mix of dead cat, feces, and sweat. We thoroughly enjoyed the place except when it was time to sleep. Would we stay here again, probably not… the smell was too bad.

Hope construction outside ends soob
There was construction outside and the walls were paper thin. Upon arrival people were working and on conference calls so it was very loud and trying to check in via video was very tough. This is the perfect location for sites and room for family.
