The hotel's location was convenient, close to main shopping streets and everything we wanted to explore, with great proximity to the bus station Kumamoto Kotsu-Center Terminal. The rooms, though quite old and shabby, were neat and compact, suitable for my equipment. The service was a mix of completely ignorant behavior, although very servile when necessary, often responding with just a simple 'sorry. ' The dining experience was surprisingly fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable, particularly our breakfast. The facilities were acceptable overall, despite some issues. Pricing was considered reasonable.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were small and a bit dark, which made it challenging with my equipment, but they were clean and had all the essentials. The service was a bit hit or miss - some staff members were very pleasant and helpful, able to translate my claims, while others seemed completely ignorant. The location was convenient with easy access to the downtown area and shopping options, but it was not too close to Kumamoto. The dining experience was surprisingly fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable, especially with the homemade jams, although the breakfast was terrible. The facilities were average overall.
