What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Very nice Amenities!

My stay in the King Room with Garden View was nothing short of lovely. The room felt like an upscale apartment, featuring a Japanese-style toilet, a spacious area for relaxation, and the perfect ambiance for romantic evenings. The ice cream in the freezer was a good touch after a busy day exploring. I couldn't have asked for a more comfortable and luxurious space. Highly recommend!

Luxurious Bathroom Experience

The bathroom in the Superior Queen Room was beyond impressive! With a well-laid-out design, it felt both spacious and private. The array of high-quality toiletries provided added a luxurious touch to my stay. Plus, the automated features of the toilet were such a fun surprise. It made for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Karaoke and Fun!

I loved the entertainment options in the King Room with Garden View! The massive TV and karaoke machine made our stay incredibly entertaining. We had so much fun unwinding with some karaoke after a long day. It was like having our own little party right in our room. Can't wait to come back and sing again!

Comfortable and Spacious

Staying at the King Room with Spa Bath was an absolute dream! The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The variety of lighting settings allowed me to create the perfect atmosphere. I also appreciated the generous size of the room compared to typical hotel rooms in Japan. A truly relaxing space to recharge!

My stay was pretty nice overall. The location was fantastic, just a stone's throw away from a lot of attractions, making it super convenient. The rooms were clean and had a comfortable vibe. However, the dining options were slightly underwhelming, with limited choices for breakfast. Plus, the facilities were decent but could use a bit more attention, especially the pool area which wasn’t as vibrant as I expected.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, which offered clean and spacious rooms perfect for relaxation. The location was fantastic, allowing easy access to the train station and the surrounding outdoors for a bit of privacy. I enjoyed my time there, although the dining options could use some variety. Value for money was decent, and the amenities were quite satisfactory, though a few enhancements would make it truly remarkable.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, thanks to its spacious and modern rooms that really made me feel at home. The location is absolutely fantastic, surrounded by nature for a bit of privacy, yet super close to everything I needed. While the service was friendly, there were some hiccups with room service, which was a bit frustrating. The dining experience was top-notch, particularly the hand-cut beef tartare, but the value for money could be better with the prices. Overall, it was a great experience, though not without its minor issues.
