We picked this hotel for its location. It is in walking distance to a lot of the local sites and activities and the price was reasonable.
Here are some aspects that I did not like so much and why I took away stars:
-unfortunately, the staff barely spoke any English (or any of the other languages I speak...). I am aware that I am in a foreign country and I typically make a valid attempt at adapting. That being said, at least that was working in the tourism industry, should be able to speak at least one other language that is.
-our room was EXTREMELY small and there was virtually no storage. Again, I understand that it's Japan, but there was no drawer/closet etc. to put anything in. There was also no space where a suitcase could be fully opened except for on the bed or the hallway. We opted for the latter.
-since there was no desk or work space in the room I would have at least wished for a common area in the hotel where one could sit and be one's computer for a while. Unfortunately, the only common space was the very small lobby itself with no tables/desks.
Overall, the big selling points are location and price.
