Great location! Near main train station, shopping malls, high street, restaurants, izakayas, karaoke, etc but located in a very quiet side street. Delicious dinner and breakfast included. Excellent half board rates!! Friendly staff members (Japanese hospitality is the best!) Lifts available inside the building (NO lift access from street to the main lobby/reception) Street level access via hotel’s restaurant.

The main lobby is on a lower level and it’s only accessible by a small sets of stairs. But once inside, there are lifts to all floors. Rooms kind of old but totally functional.

The free breakfast and dinner is okay. The taste is not bad and they prepare good japanese breakfast with soup, salad and fruits together with the main course. This s the old hotel since we only stayed for one night is okay with us. Many complain about the hotel condition, but it is fair enough and you can not expect everything as we wish with the price they offer, you get what you pay. They only need to clean up the room better than before.

The room is so dusty, cold and our bedroom has no light.

Good value for a money, a private room with bathroom as well as an included traditional japanese dinner and breakfast worth trying. Walking distance from the train station, convenience stores are nearby.

Not the most modern, but still comfy. Be sure to be punctual, as they seem to have quite rigid rules.

The bed was huge and the hotel was quiet.

Hasn't been updated since the Showa period. Teeny tiny selection for breakfast. And the women's bath was under construction so one of the main reasons I chose this hotel became useless.

The Breakfast was ok. Although I would eat a lot of what was provided for tea. Cold vegetables are not my thing but the locals seemed to enjoy.

The hotel was a bit far from the station, not as close as its name.

Robe looked nice. All the things were decent. It was neither good or bad. Vibes were totally off with this one. But Food was really decent and you get both dinner and a breakfast so overall it was good for a budget hotel.

Made me feel a little claustrophobic. Tiny bit dirty.

Staff were great, everything in the rooms were clean, onsen facility was great, though women's were hard to get to. The food provided (breakfast and dinner were filling and had lots of options).

The down side was the residual smell of smoke, which was in the hallways and lobby. The rooms were ok, but when you opened the door the smoke smell would come in. Not great for young kids.
