The hotel is conveniently located near Nishiki Market. I appreciated the proximity to shops and restaurants. The hotel provided comfortable lounge wear (i enjoyed it!). Shared facilities were clean and well kept. The lobby offered a great shared space .
The absence of chairs in the room made it difficult to relax after a long day of exploring.
