I stayed here for four nights as a solo traveler, and find the location to be a mix-bag; on one hand, it is very close to sights like the castle, garden, and the museum, but on the other hand, there is no way you can walk here from the main train station, and you either have to take a bus with your luggage (and if you take the buses, and they take cash only), or a cab. I did send my luggage over from my previous hotel so I only had to come with a small bag and taking public transportation was not a problem for me, but I have seen other travelers causes quite a lot of disturbances for locals with their bags on board during rush hours. The overall decor of the hotel was modern and soothing. The check-in process was speedy and efficient, and because this hotel is still mainly geared towards locals, English proficiency of staff is not that high. The room was very spacious, I stayed in the entry-level category with a double bed, and you are required to take off your shoes right after the door (they have to highlight that on the floor), which may be very confusing for Westerners. The bed is a futon, and it actually felt way more comfortable than a proper mattress. Pillows were firm and fluffy, and the duvet was extremely comfortable yet not overly stuffy. The window had a daylight shade that you cannot retract and behind it lies a blackout shade that you can draw down. There is both a USB and Japanese power outlet on the bed top. The wash basin and vanity area is just directly in the walkway once you open the main door, and next to it lies the separated shower with bathtub booth, and besides, it is a separated toilet with bidet. A small hanging door-less closet area is also next to the door, and there are also two towel hooks outside the bathroom. In between the shower and bedding area is a very nice dining table console with very comfortable counter seats. You can also easily work on this table (they are electrical outlets on the side of the table). There was also an app purifier and humidifier in the room, and the refrigerator was emptied out so you can stock it with your own items from the nearby convenience store just downstairs. You can get purified water from level one in the room, where the smart laundry system is also located, but there was also assigned to say that water in the room is also filtered and safe for consumption. Do know that they don’t do housekeeping services daily - they’ve never come into my room during my entire stay (which was weird because at the OMO in Kyoto, I was given a paper stating that housekeeping will be done every third day of a stay when I check in). On the third day I just put my trash bin and the basket of dirty towels outside the room when I left to signal that I need new ones and they replace what I left outside with fresh towels when I came back. As much as I really like the decor and vibes of this hotel and the comfort level, I don’t think I’ll ever stay here if I’m back in the city as my friend
