The design in pictures was exactly how the hotel looked. Pretty cool looking hotel. Great location--on quiet street, near the shotengai (shopping street), and food options close by but many close earlier than i expected for Japan. But conbini (convenience store) really close, walkable distance; if all else fails, go to conbini which is 24/7. But room was actually a bit bigger than some other hotels and okay for solo traveller. But as with many Japan hotels, it was small (compared to U.S. ones) but I was able to fully open my suitcase on the floor. The bed took a lot of the space but I wanted a bigger bed. Some stains on carpet, like someone spilled coffee, but generally clean. Breakfast, at least for me, was lackluster--just small pieces of 3 tyoes of bread but refillable coffee. But would recommend this place.
