This is the Japanese version of a low cost hotel - a lot of stuff from which our hotel enterpreneurs can learn on how to operate an affordable but efficient and clean hotel.
By Japanese standards, this is quite an affordable hotel. For the triple room which we booked, it cost about RM 230 per night per room including breakfast for 3 persons. Check-in is only after 3 pm. After paying for the whole duration of your stay at the reception ( either in cash or by credit card - pakdokter's total for 3 nights came to 20,400 yen) we were given a receipt on which the 4-digit number to the key-pad of the door of the room is printed for you to punch in to enable entry into the room and also at the main entrance downstairs between 9am to 3pm when the entrance door is closed. This procedure eliminated the need for door keys or electronic door cards.
At the side of the lift, there is a shelf where you can help yourself to an extra pillow if you need one and to a yukata ( Japanese pyjama).
The room, although small, nicely fitted a queen size bed and a double decker to allow for a third person comfortably. There is a flat screen TV, a small fridge, tea-making facilities and green tea packets and free broadband internet service whose speed would put our Streamyx to shame!
The bathroom and toilet is spankingly clean with good cold and hot water streams. And the toilet is Japanese state-of-the-art technology.
Breakfast is served between 630 am to 830am. It is a buffet of a Japanese breakfast - rice, miso soup, sardine fried in teriyake sauce, fried chicken, omelette, pickles, salad, raw egg, toasts. Coffee, tea etc come from the drink-vending machine which were made free for the duration of the breakfast. At other times they are sold for 100 yen each.
There is also an 'onsen' - the Japanese thermal bath - on the ground floor. There are specified hours for men and ladies.
