Negative Reviews
negative:
Breakfast stock can run low
A small number of
guests say they experienced arriving at breakfast only to find certain dishes
empty, and that those dishes were not refilled again. Guests who experienced
this were not impressed with the service and felt the price was far too much
for such service.
negative:
Not ideal for non-walkers
While most found the
location of the hotel to be excellent, there are some reviewers who had
difficulty with the walk to and from the station in particular - though it must
be noted that these comments were normally from older people or parents
travelling with young children.
negative:
Differing opinions of room size
Many guests say they found their room to be well presented and
comfortable, but a small number found their room to be too small for their
liking. Many of these reviewers comment on the fact that hotel rooms in Japan are
usually smaller than what might be ordinary in other countries, however.
