The accommodation was so much better than what I thought! It's spacious and comfortable with the window view of the trees and 5 minute walk from the train station and Mt Takao trail. Youhei who greeted us at reception was outstanding in his customer service, he explained there would be vegan breakfast served daily as I put a request for vegan and didn't get a response that there would be vegan breakfast and he gave us tips on how to use the amenities here and how to communicate to the restaurant staff about our request. We enjoyed the bonfire and cooking corn which tasted amazing. The feedback I would give is the young Japanese woman who served us for dinner on the first night on Friday 12th July at 8pm, she was very quick to get the bill and take the money without being patient and focused, it felt like we we're not welcomed. Other than that I would come back again!
The main reason I chose this place was the price. Staying three nights over Chinese New Year for under 1000 yen total is incredible value for money. However, Hachioji is really far from central Tokyo. If you plan on going to the city center daily, I'd highly recommend getting a JR Pass and reserving seats on the limited express Chuo Line for specific times each day, otherwise you'll be standing for almost an hour during the morning and evening rush hours. As for the hotel itself, it's a standard business hotel – no frills, no extensive facilities or services. It's less than a ten-minute walk from the South Exit of Hachioji Station. Hachioji is a well-developed satellite city, so you won't have any trouble finding places to eat and drink around the JR station. It's a very convenient and comfortable option if you're planning to visit nearby Mount Takao.
