"Very good hotel in this city. Only few items to be desired; 1. Water supply and foucet were very old and temperature adjustment must be done by manually adjusting the opening of hot and cold water. 2. It is a bit far from the station. 1200 yen by taxi. BUt there are many restaurants within 5 to 10 minutes walk. Other than these non-issues, the hotel is well maintained, clean and staff were very friendly and polite."

8/10 Good
"This was a nice hotel located very close to aizuwakamatsu station. It was dated- the bathroom was clean, but had a kind of old smell. The air conditioning didn’t work well, but it was cool enough to open the window. There were no laundry facilities, but there was a coin laundry pretty close by. We were given drink vouchers for each night’s stay but we didn’t use them because we felt underdressed for the restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helpful- we transferred luggage and they were very helpful with that. Close to a 7-eleven and restaurants were nearby. Overall a nice stay and would stay again if going to the Aizu area."
