There's a train station right outside the property, though it's a fair bit away from shopping and restaurants for walking. Room was clean, we ended up with more space than expected, and overall we had a very pleasant experience!

Old Japanese style hotel anc nog upgraded
Room service food was very poor. Dinner was served in a box. I put the box outside the room after finishing the meal. No staff took the box away and it stayed there till I check out. English communication is poor. Hot water is not hot enough for a hot bath in such a cold weather.

Rooms very small, smoking room on our floor was very smelly. Grear view and great breakfast buffet. Did not like how we had to use the room card for utilities in the room, it meant when we were out all day, the room was very hot and uncomfortable when we returned.

Okay stay for business or family trip.
It’s one night stay for flight transfer. It’s close to imperial palace and next to metro station. Building is old but interior is clean and well organized. Front desk does not speak English well but was friendly. A bit noisy since it’s close to high way.

I like the hotel's central location and easy access to public transportation system. But a big problem was the surprising room tax charge to my reserved rooms, even though my paid Orbitz.com hotel invoice clearly indicates that I've paid two (2) room taxes of $59.79 ALREADY! After I explained in Japanese to the front-desk staff that I've already paid the room taxes, they still insisted that I had not paid the room taxes. In the end, I had to pay ADDITIONAL ROOM CHARGES! Though the sums were not much, it is still Outrageous and Totally unexpected!

This was not my preferred hotel, but it was in the middle of golden week and choice was slim. Calling this a 4 star hotel is pushing the concept - the lobby and facilities are perfectly decent (great perhaps if you’re having a wedding there), but the room was the same as any 2-3 Star Japanese business hotel - small, short bed, with a pokey bath/shower combo bathroom. The major issue however - and the one that makes this hotel impossible to recommend to anyone unless they’re hard of hearing - was the noise from outside the hotel. There is a major trunk road running alongside one side of the hotel, which might have been manageable if the windows werent so thin that they didn’t block any of the noise. I’ve encountered this before in old Japanese hotels - they’re single glazed for some bizarre reason, but I’ve never stayed at one so close to a major traffic artery. So anyway, the road noise didn’t stop ... at all. 3am, 4am, it was like being in the middle of an intersection. Eventually I dug some ear plugs out of my suitcase, and as that still didn’t entirely help, put a pillow over my head. Amazingly I could still hear traffic going past after that, but shoving the air conditioner on full blocked the remaining intrusion. I stayed at the hotel for two nights - if it had been any more then I’d have either insisted on another room if there were any, or I’d have left.

I stayed here while traveling solo. I checked-in late afternoon without a problem and checked out on time within seconds. During my stay the room temperature fluctuated and the walls were a bit thin, hearing the partying next door and the television on the other end.

Adequate bargain hotel with no amenities
First, the good. It is well-priced and generally clean (other than one stray cockroach a colleague dealt with on the first day). The wi-fi is fast, and the shower pressure is good. Service was competent, but I didn't interact enough to have more of an opinion. The "western-style" breakfast was horrible. Despite prepaying (non-refundable) for all five days, my colleague and I both opted to skip after the first day. Poor selection and poorly executed, held in a dated function room that they shoo you out off aggressively at 9AM. I'd strongly recommend not pre-paying and wasting your money. Lots of local options to walk to though if you don't pre-pay. The hotel common areas were lacking. Absolutely no space to sit down with a colleague and work, which is a must-have for me especially internationally. Also, there is no gym (a fact I missed when deciding on hotel, which is my fault). The room itself was just adequate. Dated and small, but at the price point it is hard to complain. The biggest functional issue for me was the lack of storage for a longer (5 day) stay. There is a smallish closet and no drawer/shelf space to speak of. Overall, if your a "just need a bed and shower" person you will be happy with the value and location. The more you value other amenities, the more you'll be disappointed. I wouldn't refuse to go back, but I also wouldn't seek it out again.
