Beautiful, clean and conveniently located! However, I would say it’s definitely made for people coming from out of town !

9.4/10 Exceptional! (181 reviews)
This was a super fun place to stay - right in the heart of the Dotonburi action and the amenities were amazing! Free karaoke, breakfast bar, coffee machines (with lattes and mochas), tea bar, onigiri, sake and other alcoholic and non/alcoholic bevvies any time of day and the list goes on. The staff were very kind and everything was very smooth. We would recommend this hotel for families travelling with kids for sure!
