I needed a room in a pinch, so based on the high ratings, I booked two nights.
Limited hours: Had to cancel first night because my train arrived at 10:15 pm at Shin-Kobe station. The information in the email said No Check-in after 10pm (limited front desk hours). However, I saw a small sign in the common room that you could pay ¥500 for late check-in.
Towel Rental: ¥150 if you’d like a towel for your shower.
Shower room: The woman’s shower room on 3rd floor had no hooks, shelves, or anything for you to hang or place your towel, clothes, or toiletries. Everything goes on the floor!
People staying on other floors can enter the 3rd floor after hours by using an access code, which is loud. No chance for a peaceful sleep.
I was happy to save money at first, but quickly realized that I’m better suited for a budget business hotel.
