"Its unassuming exterior belies a series of delightful surprises upon entering. The lobby exudes understated luxury, the front desk staff provide highly professional service, and even the room keys have a vintage feel, giving the elevator a brief resemblance to the Peace Hotel in Shanghai.
The rooms are impeccably clean, with every corner spotless and comfortable.
Unfortunately, I missed breakfast due to my travel plans for the next day.
However, the restaurants in the atrium were very tasteful and well worth the price. Before leaving, I bought some figurines at the hotel's dessert shop; the desserts were delicious. In short, finding such a hotel in Mito, a city with only 270,000 inhabitants, is a truly delightful surprise.
It's no wonder it's a hotel under a 300-year-old wufu (traditional Japanese clothing) brand. Highly recommended if you're visiting Mito."
