    Very clean and silent, super shower. Perfect location you can reach restaurants, markets and metro easily by foot. In a really nice neighbourhood. We like it a lot!

    There are shared fridges but no crockery for do-it-yourself meals, which is a pity: I had to buy a bowl to have breakfast in my room.

    The pension is a series of rooms with shared bathrooms/washbasins, and no food is provided. It is comfy, warm and the host is very nice. Tea making facilities and teabags are provided which is welcome. Not quite as convivial as a hostel but well located and, for the time of year, the price was reasonable. The wifi was excellent, which was helpful for working.

    Not a problem for us but something to be aware of - the only thing that we were not expecting was that the showers in the men's and ladies bathrooms were communal, rather than shared. There is a shower room that has 4 showers in it and a bathtub, they are not separated by cubicles or curtains. However you could lock the bathroom door and shower on your own, this is what everyone seemed to do while we stayed so it wasn't a problem!

    The location is great, 10/15 minute walk to Nishiki Market and the main shopping street. Close to lots of restaurants and 7/11. The owner was really friendly and gave us a map when we checked in and highlighted good places to visit as well as good places to view cherry blossom. Our room was of traditional style which was really nice to experience. Toilets and sinks on every floor all kept spotless - fridge and microwave on our floor too so you could use those as well. Really enjoyed our stay here.

    The slippers are very loose, and when you walk up the slipper would come loose. Slight health hazard, so better to bring own slippers!

    No breakfast was provided. However, the receptionist was able to communicate in English, which is greatly appreciated!

    A guy followed me in the womens bathroom. The owner of the hotel didn’t do anything about it. Also, the washing machine is crap, detergent doesn’t smell good and my clothes were still 100% wet after paying 100Y to dry them.

    Localisation is amazing. Near everything. Hotel hasnt changed style since 80s/90s so its nice to see
