The location was great, close to Nishiki Market area. Very close to Shijo Subway Station. The staff was very helpful. I left behind a cell phone at the airport and I had to have them ship to this hotel. The hotel staff was very helpful and agreed to pay upon receiving, knowing that I'll pay them back when I got there. Only thing that would have made it even better was the drink availability in the room. They had green tea packets but no coffee packets. I'm a coffee drinker and enjoy having a cup of coffee upon waking up. It was not a big deal, though. Everything else was amazing.

The location was prime and central to everything but the central heating was so old that the rooms were like saunas. No individual room temperature controls. Everyone was so uncomfortable, no one slept well for three nights that we stayed there. We ended up getting a fan but the room was still stuffy and dry.

Room was very good. The only downside was the fact that we were on the smoking floor however the odor did not enter the room. Just after a long day of walking and smelling the smoke wasn’t the best! The room quality, beds and bathroom were really great! Location was spot on! Easy to walk around.
