Very close to Utsunomiya station on the West end and connects to a 7-Eleven below. Staff can speak some English and very polite and courteous. Rooms are spacious, clean, and having a washing machine and dryer on the second floor really helps. Would definitely stay again and already have.

Really nice hotel. Friendly staff. I left my suitcases twice, so I could go out and see the sights of Utsunomiya. I’ve stayed here twice now, and I’d recommend it just for the staff and how close it is to the station.
