Very good for the price. The staff was very helpful. The room is small, but for the price, it is a good place to stay if you're just looking for a place to sleep.
Great location by the main street.
Convenient central location, very lively location with groceries, pharmacies, exchange houses, restaurants and transportation within short walking distance. The Check-in and Check-out process was smooth. Food/Drinks Vending machine inside the hotel was very handy. Seems a little old property, but maintained well.
perfect location, close to attractions, a few steps from train station, bus station and taxi station, a few minutes of walk to nishiki market. Basic hotel, small room, nothing fancy but serves the purpose,
