    Happy Hour needs better sake, ha ha.

    Great location across from JR station. Plenty of shopping, eating places nearby. Decent hot springs facilities. Large rooms (for Japan). Breakfast had unagi and karaage the time that I went!

    A good traveller's hotel for those who visit Hamamatsu on a budget.

    While extremely friendly and helpful the staff were mostly not conversant in english, causing some minor communication errors at times. Some rudimentary skill in conversational Japanese beyond a phrasebook level is highly recommended. Similarly, some of the signage was translated into english in a way that left some ambiguities. The central location meant occasional noises from traffic outside (my room faced the central plaza). While good overall, the breakfast was decidely japanese in character and lacked breakfast options one would ordinarily find in british/continental-style hotels - if you expect options like toast and beans, or fresh-pressed fruit juice and granola in your hotel breakfasts, you will not find them here. Overall these were minor (and very expected) quibbles and did not subtract from my overall enjoyment of the stay.

    The Kuretakeso provided clean, spacious rooms at a reasonable rate in an extremely central location in Hamamatsu city; perfect for a week's visit for tourism or conference/business stays. Access to free facilities (wi-fi in the hotel, A/C and tea-making facilities in every room, public bath and sauna) was included without additional price or prompting, as was a complimentary pair of slippers, with vending machines and coin-operated washer/dryer on the premises. Signage in both english and japanese made it easy to move around the hotel and understand most of its features. I paid extra for hotel breakfast and it was altogether good, with varied dishes including local products (eel) included.

    Nothing.

    Quite new hotel and therefore more comfortable and fresh than Crown Palais and even the Act City Okura. Conveniently placed just opposite of the station. There is also Happy Hour where hotel guests can enjoy a free drink. The bar is very well-stocked with various soft drinks, draft beer, white, red wine and a selection of sake. The breakfast is very good too. Staff do not all speak English, but they are very helpful. All for a very reasonable price.

    Straight across the trainstation. Most of the must-see in Hamamatsu is outside of the city, you need a bus 2 min walk from the hotel. The Japanese rooms are big, the hotel has a laundry.

    WiFi on the 9th floor is sometimes not smooth, maybe because the room is farthest from the WiFi center

    the rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. I think this is a good accommodation, because it's like new modern rooms, close to the station, close to Familymart. and there is a public bath(onsen) on the 2nd floor

    This can't be improved unfortunately, but the bed was just under the window and it felt very uncomfortable to have the sun shining right on our faces in the morning, despite the curtain. As a result it was too hot in the room. There are not enough outlets in the room.

    A new and modern hotel close to the train station, very convenient! There are a lot of restaurants and bus stops nearby. Everything was very clean and there is a small sento inside the hotel. The room was quite spacious and the bed was large.
