Quiet, clean and comfortable rooms with efficient and unobtrusive elevators. Well above average attractive restaurant for all three major meals. Responsive concierge services 24/7. Only a couple of the overly numerous front desk staff speak reliable English. As in all Japanese hotels I have used, very poor TV offerings in English, almost pointless. I have stayed at this hotel for two to three week stays in three of the past eight years as I have family in Tokyo. Would have been more except for stringent Japanese COVID restrictions. Entirely honest in billing. Fair costs but well above average for travelers with budget worries who should probably stay elsewhere.

This is a very nice hotel if you don't book through Expedia. The lovely features are a very nice front staff, a lovely spa on the B floor, a reasonable breakfast buffet and a short walk to a convenient Kintetsu station. I would say, though, that if you are booking through Expedia or hotels.com or any other such discount service, they will put you in a very inconvenient, unrenovated room and provide no services. My room was the furthest room on the top floor, very cold with heating that worked only intermittently, and no cleaning services. I was OK with all of this, but I think hotels should not participate in Expedia's surge pricing service if they don't give you the same service. Just my thoughts. However, the staff were great and it is a nice place. Fun to go to the bath every night and hang out.
