The staffs are lovely
Room need improvement as can hear from next room and the street noise.
Loved the area it's safe to walk till late public transport are nearby so as the restaurants and bars.
But seriously one need a shower room on the top floor was quite annoying to keep going on the ground floor.
Recommended and I will stay again.
The location of the hotel was amazing. What wasn't good about this stay was that there were a lot of loud speaking on the floor, and the staff isn't there all the time to be able to ask the other guests to be quiet past midnight

Ok for one night
Ok for one night, good location for Shinsekai Market.
Close to Shin-Sekai and very conveniently located. Some features were less than we we expected such as shared bathroom not on every floor, shower only on the ground floor, no night lamp but only the ceiling light. It's durable as a basecamp only to sleep.
The kitchen area only has a microwave and kettle shared by the entire hotel. The sink was very smelly.
There is one toilet on every second floor for the men, which becomes very inconvenient when you are there for a few days.
There are plenty of showers, and they were reasonably clean and well stocked.
It was good. Check-in is a little weird. Staff was a little obnoxious, probably due to La Gaige barrier but could make it work.
While most of the hostal was clean, Stairs were always dirty. Lots of Lint.
And second night was a little hard to sleep on because neighbors were very noisy. Whenever they closed the door it would make a big bang and they spoke loud. Not really hotels fault but it is good to share this. Food around was great. Yeah, there are a lot of drunk guys but they are minding their own business.
Showers were good!
The hotel would be much better if every floor was gender neutral with two stalls in it. We were on a male floor and had to take the elevator up or down the floor.
The check in process and check out is confusing if you have two rooms under your name, because I never understood which was for which
The staff don’t speak much English but they do use google translate for you. We arrived before check in and they put our bags in the hotel room before check in which was nice
The shower room had many showers, but remember to bring a towel when going to the bathroom as they have no paper towel or dryer. The hotel is very well situated,
It is very close to an onsen and local restaurants which had very good prices and food (portions were huge). I would for sure stay here again in the future, highly recommended
Room is very clean, small but good enough for daily usage.
Shower and toilets are super clean. Affordable price.
Close to train station.
Only down side is the receptionist doesn’t speak English.
They should label the AC remote with English words as well, so foreigners know.
Nice hotel and friendly staff. Just wish I didn't have to elevator to the showers on the first floor, when I was on the 8th.
Still, nice convenient hotel.
Good location, but the area can feel a bit odd and race bikes at night.
Check-in/out is done via QR code, so basic tech skills are needed.
Only one lift is available for all residents, so expect long waits.
Not all levels have unisex toilets, and each toilet only has one wash basin.
The hotel doesn’t provide filtered water, and there’s no water fountain.
Bed ok. Service minded people in the reception but not possible to get coins for the washing machine or dryer in the reception. Showers only on the first floor. Toilet in the hallway on your floor or the floor above/below.
There are homeless tents near hotel. Please check this area on google street review. I would never this area again especially with my family. The street smells like restroom that never cleaned for 1000years and rats everywhere. Hotel itself was okay tho.
