Frommer's Review

This small hotel on Oike Dori was built some 30 years ago, but it achieves an even older ambience in its lobby with the clever use of antique-looking lighting and decor. Though the hotel calls itself a tourist hotel and offers mainly twins, its accommodations and lack of services and facilities place it in the category of business hotel. Simple rooms show their age and are soundproof, but I still think those that face away from Oike Dori are quieter; ask for one on a higher floor. The cheapest rooms are quite small.

Facilities:
2 restaurants (Japanese, Italian); 1 bar; in-room massage; same-day laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms
