I stayed at this hotel with my family of 5 for 5 nights recently (June 2024) . The room was spacious & comfortable for the 5 of us. My husband and I + 3 teenage boys. It was a unique hotel as it was 1 room per floor. We had the room with a double bunk + 2 bed paddings on the floor = 6 beds.
The Cons - The hotel is located about 25-30mins by train, some tourist sites you may have to take 2 trains. Which was kind of a hassle bc if you wanted to stay at Shibuya or Shinjuku late at night or travel to the countryside your trek back home is quite far.
This location is quite dead, not much to see/do - you will definitely have to train outside of the area.
I chose this place so my kids can have their own beds BUT the actual beds were rock hard, the pillows were bricks, and the bed padding on the floors were about 2 inches of soft foam on tiled floors = hard as a rock. Being jetlagged and not wanting to waste any precious time, it was difficult with not being able to sleep well.
The Pros - The staff was great, very respectable and greeted us each time we came in and out of the hotel.
There's a Lawson and 7-11 less than 1/2 a block in each direction of the hotel.
There's a train station less than a block away.
There's little restaurants scattered around the hotel.
All in all, since this was our first trip to Japan, I dont think I will stay at this location in future, as it's far from the sightseeing and our rest/sleep was horrible.
