I
stayed
for
a
week
and
had
a
"comfort
double"
room.
I
knew
in
advance
that
this
would
only
have
a
shower,
which
is
fine,
but
very
few
hotels
in
Japan
have
the
option
of
a
room
with
only
a
shower/no
bath.
So
take
that
as
you
will.
The
main
issue
with
this
place
is
that
they
don't
specify
that
a
"comfort
double"
room
is
actually
a
room
with
two
twin
beds
butted
together
to
approximate
a
king-sized
bed.
Therefore
it
has
a
ridge
down
the
middle
making
it
uncomfortable
to
actually
sleep
in
it
as
a
king-sized
bed.
This
is
misleading
advertising.
However
the
room
is
comfortable
apart
from
this,
with
a
little
table
and
sofa
and
all
the
usual
things.
The
staff
are
nice,
although
they
seem
to
be
keeping
you
under
surveillance
so
there
is
a
slight
feeling
of
being
spied
upon.
You
will
be
greeted
as
you
come
and
go
at
every
moment.
Some
of
us
are
shy
and
want
to
blend
into
the
background,
you
know?
But
I
understand
this
is
probably
because
of
security.
On
that
note,
the
lift
doesn't
operate
without
a
card
key,
which
helps
with
peace
of
mind.
There
is
a
gym,
a
laundry
room,
ironing
rooms
etc
but
no
microwave
publicly
available
so
you
have
to
ask
for
help
at
the
desk
to
have
your
food
heated.
A
bit
embarrassing.
Every
evening
all
guests
are
given
"croffles",
which
are
waffles
made
of
croissant
dough.
These
come
with
a
choice
of
toppings
(mixed
berries,
apple
pieces,
caramel
syrup,
cinnamon,
whipped
cream)
and
can
be
heated
up
in
a
little
toaster
oven.
It's
self-service
and
the
quantity
is
unlimited.
Some
reviews
suggest
the
items
are
not
replenished
but
this
is
inaccurate;
there
was
plenty
to
go
around
at
all
times.
Free
unlimited
tea
and
coffee
including
iced
and
decaf
options
are
also
available
all
day.
As
regards
the
location,
it's
right
at
the
top
end
of
Sannomiya
so
you're
actually
pretty
much
equidistant
between
JR
Sannomiya
and
Motomachi
stations.
So
no
matter
which
you
choose
you
will
have
a
little
bit
of
a
walk,
especially
if
you
want
to
use
Hankyu
or
Hanshin.
It's
handily
right
across
the
road
from
a
small
branch
of
Don
Quixote
which
is
open
24
hours,
and
there
is
a
Lawson,
Family
Mart
and
Seven-11
all
within
a
block
or
so.
This
hotel
is
on
the
main
entertainment
thoroughfare
in
Sannomiya
so
you
have
every
restaurant
and
izakaya
option
available
at
all
times.
But
you
also
have
the
pleasure
of
listening
to
drunken
revellers
yahooing
24/7
outside
the
window.
And
the
"ladies"
from
the
sexy
bars
advertising
their
establishments
make
for
quite
the
gauntlet
run
between
the
train
station
and
the
hotel
once
evening
comes.
This
can
be
quite
intimidating
for
female
guests
staying
in
the
area
alone
(like
me),
as
the
hosts
and
hostesses
from
those
nightclubs
are
rather
uncouth
and
will
definitely
point
and
laugh
at
you
as
you
pass
by.
I
didn't
like
that
feeling
so
often
found
myself
walking
the
long
way
around
the
block
in
the
evening
to
avoid
them.
This
hotel
had
the
reputation
of
luxury
on
the
site
from
which
I
booked
my
stay.
I
wouldn't
say
"luxury"
is
the
correct
term,
but
it's
a
comfortable
place
with
a
few
little
extra
touches.
A
less
in-your-face
presence
by
the
staff
and
more
honest
advertising
of
the
location
and
room/bed
styles
would
improve
the
rating
of
this
place.
It's
nice
enough
but
I
feel
like
I
would
go
somewhere
else
next
time.
