The temple view from my beautiful twin room temple view was MAGNIFICENT!!! The room itself was very spacious. I also appreciated the onsen. It was perfect after a long day of walking.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues
dusty room broken laundry machines
The staff was helpful with luggage forwarding.
The room was dusty and had stains on the walls. The overall cleanliness needs improvement. Laundry facilities were not properly maintained, and the machines did not work. I was disappointed since I needed to wash clothes after traveling.

small room unfair refund
The room was small. it felt more like a hostel than a hotel. the pictures online set high expectations. I was charged for 3.5 nights even though i left after 10 minutes! i only got a 50% refund for the final night. That wasn't fair at all.

wide selection food selection convenient location room cleanliness overall cleanliness wet floor public bath
the breakfast was good. there was a wide selection of both western and japanese food options available. the hotel's location was convenient too. it was a short walk to the station, shops, and restaurants in the area.
the room wasn't as clean as i expected. i noticed spider webs and dust in the room, made me think it hadn't been used recently. the public bath was nice in theory. however, the floor was often wet and there was hair.

The room was well-equipped and very clean. I appreciated the comfortable beds for a restful sleep. The onsen was a definite highlight after long days of sightseeing. The location near the station made it easy to get around.
