Disliked: Room comfort
A basic room that worth the price
A small room with a door suitable for dwarfs. A kind staff and good service. A very good location.
Positive point: very short distance from station. Near this guesthouse, there's a nice udon restaurant. Room is big enough to rest.
Negative Point: short distance from station also means there'll be some noise caused by train.
I saw a giant bug on the ceiling at night.
Moreover, some electric outlets and little lamp on the bed didn't work. Only outlets in 2 out of 4 beds worked properly.
Air conditioner works well, but it barely gets warm.
You should pay by cash if you are a foreigner. I saw PayPay QR in there so PayPay may be accepted if you can use.
Room(s) didn't match the pictures. It was a bit cold but without working heating. There isn't any reception desk or staff person waiting at the flat despite the fact that it was stated in my confirmation. You can only find a telephone number at the door and the staff person seems to speak only Japanese.
