"This was such a nice and clean hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Not sure if this matters to anyone, but for me it did, this hotel does have AC that you can control from your room. Most hotels in Japan only offer heating. It was in a nice location close to tons of food spots and a quick taxi ride to temples and shopping!"
"Great central location if you are looking for the downtown shops experience. Subway is down the street. Make sure you stop by the Museum! Staff was very friendly."
"The staff was beyond helpful, everyone spoke English when we needed help. The hotel was stunning, very clean, and the breakfast buffet was so delicious! We also really enjoyed the drink bar in the evening. The hotel was slightly far away from some amenities, but Ubers from and to the hotel to Teamlabs and places like that weren’t expensive. Their luggage forwarding service was also very fast! 10/10 would stay here again!"
