The room is more Japanese-style, but it has a strong smell. I had to open the window for an entire afternoon before the smell subsided. The quilt and other items are not of very good quality. Although there are no visible stains, it is still very worrying about hygiene issues. The stairs are very steep and you have to be careful. You must wear the slippers provided by the hotel to enter the bedroom, which may cause you to fall. The owner is very enthusiastic and willing to help. Toothpaste, toothbrushes and combs are not provided. The surrounding environment is very much like a rural town, compact and beautiful, and very clean and tidy. There is a supermarket diagonally opposite. The items are much cheaper than 711 and the variety is also complete. If you don't have to, I don't recommend staying here.
The place has an excelente location, easy to get there. The room was cleaned and organized. However, there is no person at the front desk to ask questions or ask for help. The code for entering to the room was sent by SMS, but since we were traveling the service for SMS of our phone company does not work outside our country, so we did not receive the message since we were traveling. They do not have an e-mail address, so the check in instructions could not be send there. When we arrived to the place was late and we found the front desk empty even though we still arrived in the front desk service hours. We had a hard time contacting the hotel but luckily could get some help in calling the administration to get our room number and the code.
