–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Compact rooms — Several guests note rooms are small, a common trade-off in this price tier and location. The space is comfortable but tight, especially for two.
- Lively area with a red-light district — The Sakae district is bustling with nightlife, and some guests describe the immediate surroundings as 'shady' or a red-light district. The hotel itself is considered safe, but the neighborhood may not suit all travelers.
- Breakfast and hot spring at a neighboring hotel — The breakfast buffet and hot spring are located about 60 meters away at the opposite hotel, which is a minor inconvenience in bad weather.
- Atmospheric lighting lacking — One guest felt the rooms lacked atmospheric lighting, which detracted slightly from the otherwise cozy design.
