ししろろThe hotel is a multi-tenant building. I arrived on an overnight bus, but they were able to store my luggage for me early in the morning. There were only a few steps to the front desk, but I still had to climb some. Be careful if you're carrying a suitcase.
The front desk staff were very kind and courteous.
We booked a room for four people, and were shown to room 602 on the sixth floor. There was one bathroom (with a hair dryer) and one unit bath (with shampoo, conditioner, and body soap). While the building and the room are old, both were new.
Also, the elevator only goes up to the fifth floor, so you have to climb one flight of stairs.
I appreciated the generous provision of amenities, including yukata robes, bath towels, toothbrushes, and hair brushes. There was also a refrigerator and TV, of course.
I felt there weren't many outlets for four people. I brought an extension cord so everyone could charge their devices. I think there were four hangers. It was hanging in a gap in the wallpaper on the wall, which made me a little worried about its strength.
There were two rooms on the sixth floor, but there was only one unit bath, so if we had overlapping times, we had to fight for both rooms.
The people in the room next door started using it when we wanted to, so we couldn't get our turn, so we headed to a natural hot spring about a 15-minute walk from the hotel that's open from early morning until the morning.
Also, the lock on room 602 was really stiff and I couldn't open it. I contacted the hotel, and they opened it for me, although they said it would take some force. I tried twice to open the room, and it didn't budge either time, so I think it might have gotten pretty stiff. I would have appreciated using lock 556 or changing the lock.
The room was very clean.
Although the room accommodates a large number of people, there were some inconveniences, such as only one unit bath, and my friend didn't like it. However, there are some positive points to recommend it, such as the friendly front desk staff, the luggage storage before check-in, the clean sink and unit bath, and most importantly, its proximity to Nagoya Station (the nearest station is Kanayama Station, about an 8-10 minute walk), and the fact that it's significantly cheaper than other hotels.
