Had a great time at the hotel. Quite walkable to nearby sites like Nishiki Market. Very close to bus stops (3 minutes walk), a bit of a longer distance to train stations. Within 5 minutes to Lawsons and 7-11 and there is a small local shopping street next to Lawsons with some cafes, restaurants, produce/grocery stores, and other stores.
Beware that taxi drivers might find it difficult to find the hotel. It took a bit for the driver to figure it out and still ended up one street over from the hotel. You will definitely need the address in Japanese.
Room was large enough to comfortably hold 3-4 people. Beware though that bunk beds are not soft and just a thin mattress/futon on a hard base. I didn't mind it but if your sensitive about it, don't book the room with bunk beds. Some areas were dusty (shelves/drawers inside the dresser, the ledges beside the beds). We just wiped it off ourselves. Because we stayed for 2 weeks, cleaning was arranged every 3 days.
Kitchen is tiny with 1 burner, so you definitely can't make a feast, but it worked for simple stuff like noodles. Super convenient. All cutlery, dishes and pot/pan are in the room already. We requested a knife and cutting board at reception during their open hours.
All in all, a nice quiet place to stay. Very happy with the hotel.
