Great Value for Money Hotel ”

This hotel is highly value for money. The room is good enough to accommodate 3 to 4 persons and the facilities are incredible for a hotel for budget conscious traveller. There is aircon (for summer) and heater (for winter), comfortable tatami for sleeping and a small bathtub. There is a kitchenette consists of hot plate and microwave oven and a fridge, and also plates, spoon and fork provided for those who wish to prepare their own meals. There is also a washing machine for those who wish to do their own laundry. Toiletries, towels and slippers are provided. It is very easy to do the self check in and the staff are spontaneous to reply any query to you. It is located very near to Toji Station run by Kintensu Railway, merely 5 minutes walk and the hotel provides detail directions of walking from Toji Station. The hotel has no lift and can be challenging for tourists with heavy luggage. Request for low floor if you have heavy luggage. OveralI I enjoy very much in the hotel.

Cheap hotel, good location, good facilities. I never met any staff, all communication was done by email. Some recommendation for pagoda experience: the guidance book inside the room was not clear enough, no television, maybe for traveller which has a busy schedule it would not be a problem, and the balcony can not be used to dry the clothes, the washing machine couldn't make our clothes dry enough. However, for a group of people, this room is cheap and comfortable.
