The hotel has a charming, old-fashioned appearance but offers a very pleasant stay. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. It is a great choice for families, as they are very welcoming to children—my child even received special gifts from the hotel owner. Additionally, there are restaurants and supermarkets nearby, making it a convenient location. I highly recommend this hotel.

It is on the second floor, so you have to carry the luggage up. It is ~1km from the Katsuta train station.

The hotel is in a really nice location on one of the older shopping streets of Hitachinaka. It's close by to a lot of really useful locations such as the station, a few convenience stores and a lot of nice cafe's and resturaunts. The room itself was a nice size and given my height (195cm) I was a little worried I'd have a few problems with bumping into things, but had no such issues. The staff at the hotel were all incredibly helpful and every day I had clean towels, tissues and a bottle of water delivered to my room which was a nice touch. The vending machines on site offered a nice selection of drinks and cup ramen and the availability of a coin laundry machine on site was very welcome. The hotel itself was very clean also. I had a pretty amazing view out of the fifth floor as well over a lot of Hitachinaka.

The bathroom unfortunately didn't have AC which in the summer when I stayed meant it was very warm in there unless I left the bathroom door open to allow the air from the room to enter. The automatic function on my AC didn't seem to stop the fans from keeping it at the temperature I wanted, it'd always drop lower, but honestly given how hot it was during the week I was there (30-36c most days) I can't say it caused me any big issues!

Staffs were very kind and gentle. There were many free amenities like flipflops and shampoos for kids, air cleaners and so on at the front. Family rooms had enough space, and we could use washing machines for free. There was a laundry room on the same floor, so we could use a dryer after using a washing machine. We had a very relaxing time in this hotel.

The hotel wasn’t new, and completely clean. But enough cleaned up. Most of guests smoke, I guess. So sometimes smelled like cigarettes.

It has free drink. The staff are nice. The breakfast is v tasty.

Women Spa has limited time and I can’t use it. Please notice the spa time. It is too far from JR station and walk 20mins with sunshine. It take 190 yen by bus to JR station.

Breakfast could have been better. However acceptable..

There are about 20 steps to the reception. need to climb up and down with luggage. Same is difficult when travelling with suit cases.

- free coffee and tea corner - breakfast (buffet) - yukata + sleepwear - Public bath - Receptionist

reception desk on the second floor. We need to carry luggage going up by stairs. It could be difficult for those who have many luggages.

The hotel provides free parking and a great selection of tasty breakfast dishes — everything was really delicious!

Easy to get to

Nothing comes to mind

Standard hotel in a sleepy part of the town. Breakfast was okay though nothing special. You can use onsen at the top floor but it works on timetable for man/woman and during the week it seemed to have only man schedule. The only issue I have with the room is the pillow which was too hard for me to sleep on comfortably

Excellent buffet breakfast. Convenient night life and shops nearby.

Location is a little far from Katsuta station (about a ten-minute walk or a two-minute ride on the small local railway).
