The staff were like family, they were super friendly and helpful, we left our luggage at the hotel with no charge while we went to sukaya onsen/ryokan for 3 days before returning to Aomori. Free curry dinner (for paying guests) was a really nice bonus for a budget hotel, it was only simple curry sauce with rice but it was a nice touch, we were there in spring so also got free breads and beers/soft drinks daily. Make sure you look up though otherwise you might miss the entrance like we did 🤣 google maps failed us so even though we found the address we couldn’t find the entrance to the hotel easily.

Some people will be bothered by the smoking smell, it was obvious that smoking has happened in the room previously, it is an old hotel so the interior was discoloured and you could smell cigarette smoke, even though we don’t smoke it was not a major problem for us but could be for some people. It think if they renovated they should make it smoke free/non smoking for the future.

I liked that it was very close to the main boulevard after getting out from the train station and all the bars area, just a few minutes away. The room I stayed in was comfortable and besides having a small bathroom, it was clean and with everything working properly and in good condition.

It was a little hard to find and away from the commercial area, but I thought it balanced out with the price. It didn't include breakfast or maybe I didn't realized it they offer one, but it would've been to start the day with a coffee or some tea.

I liked the view from the first room I stayed in. It's too bad front desk moved me to a different room after the first day. I stayed in a smoking room but the after smell was tolerable. The air freshener available in the room was strong enough(easy on the nose) to neutralize the smell of tobacco.

The bathrooms are tiny! The bathrooms I stayed in other hotels in Tokyo had bigger bathrooms. For a location outside any major cities I was surprised at how small the bathroom in the rooms were.

Location was great, close to restaurants. The room had 3 large single beds and a great hot shower in the smallest bathroom we’ve ever seen but it was all we needed. The free dinner of rice and curry was enjoyable and breakfast for 550y was filling and value for money

It’s a bit old and tired but for $88 AUD with parking and a basic dinner you can’t really complain. We were very satisfied.

Free curry each night, and sweet bread when arriving was very nice. It was easy to find and check in just be aware that the front desk is on a higher floor after taking the elevator. It’s also nicely positioned close to the fish market.

It’s a little far from the station on foot.

The boiler broke down, but the hotel provided free tickets to the nearby public bath facility. The staff was very kind, let us keep the luggage at the front desk and helped us check in earlier than usual.

Everything. We even unexpected got free bread (we ate it for breakfast) and free dinner. Perfect service.
