This was an awesome boutique hotel. We were interested in its pedigree as former Nintendo headquarters. The rooms were clean and spacious. The staff was extremely attentive. They offer an authentic Japanese breakfast, which we tried, but we were also able to make do with their coffee and croissants. Everything was complementary.

We stayed for 7 nights and had a wonderful stay. The hotel itself is so beautiful and you are taken care of from the moment you arrive. Staff are always helpful and can accomodate your requests quickly. The location was fantastic with two good stations nearby, as well as plenty of locations within walking distance. The balcony view at sunrise was amazing, the room was very spacious, and all the furniture was high quality. Extremely comfortable bedding will help you rest after a busy day, and the housekeeping staff do a great job, as well as restocking your drinks fridge and snacks every day. Definitely recommend and can't wait to return!

Pros: the room is clean, comfortable and well designed and lit. Bike rentals. Includes mini bar and access to the lounge and bar with alcohol. The place is exclusive and very private. Cons: second time staying here and I have a feeling that Japanese and locals get a more inclusive tour during their stay. Perhaps a language barrier, but would be great to learn more about the history.

Loved this gorgeous boutique hotel. It felt elegant yet peaceful in its small size. Our entry level or basic level room was really very large and was extremely comfortable with a comfortable king size bed, a separate dressing area and large bathroom area. The breakfast was outstanding of which we in particular loved both the avocado toast as well as the bread with fruit ( a white bread smothered in fresh cream topped with fresh strawberries) it was delicious! A fun add on in the hotel is the open bar anytime including a full self service bar with premium liquors, beer, and wine. The staff were very helpful. We look forward to staying there again. This hotel exceeded our every expectation.
