Comfortable stay in this clean hotel that serves great Kumamoto-style buffet breakfast. However, the bathroom vanity (sink and mirror) is outside the toilet, facing the twin beds. No on-site parking but you can easily park at the underground carpark that’s just a traffic light away from the hotel at a reasonable rate.

The hotel was conveniently located for me, as there is a huge bus station nearby with just 5 mins of walk. A dozen of restaurants are nearby and there are 2 arcade game centres just around the corner. The public bath was not as good as i expected and it was always crowded. I didnt use it as much but i think it could still be a good experience if you are visiting japan for the first time. I adore the resting area outside of the public bath. The area is equipped with microwave, small tables and seats. I bought food from nearby convenient stores and ate breakfast there daily. The room was on the larger than i expected. I was able to place my luggage on the table when i tidied my stuff. I was overall happy with my stay.

The location is really good which is just beside the tram stop and in the centre of the shopping district. Free drinks are provided in a cozy public area. Breakfast is served with Japanese and Western-style food.
