Regular business hotel

Overall your basic business hotel in Japan. Small rooms and no frills. I did hear that the breakfast buffet is worth the price. Not my first choice of hotels in Utsunomiya but in a pinch it will do.

Very nice hotel!

Overall I'm very happy with the hotel. I will concede that it does seem like an older property, so some parts of it do seem a bit old-fashioned. But everything is very well maintained and works well.

Convenient location and friendly staff

Stayed here for three weeks -- the staff was friendly and the room quiet and comfortable. The hotel is in a convenient location being nearby the main station, and with a supermarket + Daiso only two blocks away. Two blocks in a different direction is a large local park.

Nice hotel close to Utsunomiya station & IZAKAYA

Although the check in time is too late in night, the hotel staff can be support. Close to Utsunomiya station and delicious IZAKAYA by walking.

The breakfast, a buffet, was very tasty and comfortable. It was helpful that there are a lot of plugs in the room. The toothbrush was too small to brush my teeth easily and sufficiently. Bath room was cramped to take a shower.

Small room, relatively close to the station

The bathtub width in the room is quite narrow so when having a shower your arms will touch the curtain and the wall. The price is cheap so if you only need somewhere to stay for a night and on a tight budget this place is OK.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Room comfort

Good value other than HORRIBLE bed

This is a budget business hotel, so expectations were not high. Room was relatively clean, but non-smoking room wasn't available. The breakfast area is TINY and only holds a few people. Our room included breakfast but we didn't have either day we were there as the breakfast area was always too full for 2 more people. Real problem is that the bed was miserable. I could actually feel individual springs through the top which stab you all night long. Did NOT get an acceptable sleep and I can't recommend this hotel for that reason.

It's a bit far from the station, there are few restaurants around, there's only one elevator so you have to wait during busy times, the breakfast can't be said to have much variety, and the bathtub is not very spacious.　Not too bad,not good.
