I stay here every summer. Although this is a Plan with breakfast, it feels like the selection has become more limited year by year.

We chose Karasuma Kyoto Hotel for its convenient location just a short walk from Shijo Subway Station and Hankyu Karasuma Station, making access easy. The staff were courteous and attentive, and we were able to spend our time comfortably with peace of mind.

The room was spacious, very functional, and comfortable to relax in. The large public bath was roomy enough to unwind, and the in-room shower was also easy to use. Breakfast could have offered a bit more variety, but it was still enjoyable. I hardly interacted with the staff, so it was difficult to evaluate the service.

We stayed here during the Obon holidays as a family of three. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. Breakfast was delicious, and it made our trip truly wonderful.

The location was excellent—arriving by JR and using the Toei lines the next day made it very convenient. Despite the convenient location, it was quiet at night, perhaps because there are many universities nearby. I stayed for business this time, but I have also stayed here when visiting Tokyo Dome privately. Being able to walk to Tokyo Dome City is a big plus. I would definitely like to stay again.

When I arrived to check in, I was thrilled to be shown to a Room on the 23rd floor. Honestly, I didn’t have high expectations and thought the Tokyo Skytree would only be visible at a slight angle, but once I entered the Room, it was the best Skytree view I’ve ever seen. At night, the window felt like a picture frame, and the sparkling scenery was beautiful. Until the Skytree lights turned off at midnight, I never got tired of watching the changing colors while enjoying drinks. Last month I stayed in a Skytree-view Room at Asakusa View Hotel, but to be honest, Dai-ichi Hotel Ryogoku’s view was overwhelmingly better. Probably because there are no tall buildings blocking the view from the Room, and being on the 23rd floor makes it even more stunning. The station is close by, there’s also a convenience store on-site, and the front desk staff were pleasant and kind—overall, it’s a very good Hotel. When it gets a bit colder, I’d like to eat chanko in Ryogoku and enjoy the same view again, so I’m planning to stay here again.

The Room was clean, and the price being under 6,000 yen was great.

I had a very satisfying stay. First, the location: I wasn’t familiar with Sapporo at all, but the nearest station, Odori Station, is extremely convenient with three subway lines intersecting there. Susukino is also just a short walk away. The in-room facilities were excellent. This was my first time realizing how much a mini-kitchen can elevate a hotel stay. It was great that brand-new kitchen paper and sponges were provided as well. I also used the front-loading washer/dryer—having detergent included was impressive. Another highlight was that both the showerhead and hair dryer were ReFa. Since there’s a microwave in the room, on days with an early departure you can skip hotel breakfast and instead heat up prepared foods you bought the day before (for example at Seicomart) and kept in the fridge. The air conditioner can be controlled individually in each room. If I had to mention one thing, it would have been perfect if there were a place to hang laundry where it catches the airflow from the air conditioner. With enough time, I expect it would dry without any issues. All amenities are available in the lobby, and I had no complaints at all. Breakfast is compact, but more than sufficient for the price. The zangi was nicely crisp, the soup curry was delicious, the bread selection felt stylish, and the rice was Nanatsuboshi. There’s also a thoughtful service that lets you take drinks back to your room after your meal. I also appreciated the complimentary soft-serve ice cream service after check-in. I would definitely like to stay here again next time I’m in Sapporo—this is honestly the first business hotel that has made me feel this way. Thank you very much.

It was close to Ikebukuro Station, and being directly connected to the station meant we didn’t have to worry about the heat while getting around. The Room was just the right size for two people, and the sofa and luggage space were convenient, so we had a comfortable stay. Breakfast was a Japanese buffet where you could choose a main dish, and side dishes were served in small bowls you could pick up yourself, which felt clean and satisfying. We will definitely stay again.

When my credit card did not respond during payment and caused a delay, the front desk staff immediately assisted me. They also upgraded my Room for free. Additionally, there is a free shuttle bus running between Narita Airport and the Hotel, which was very convenient. Overall, I think it was an excellent Hotel. I will use it again.

I chose this hotel mainly for its location, and I was very satisfied with the staff’s kind and welcoming service and the excellent cleanliness. Having the Iyotetsu line, convenience stores, and restaurants nearby was especially helpful. It made the first day of our road trip a great one. Thank you very much.

The only disappointment was the air conditioning. The Room was a bit hot, and I wanted to lower the temperature, but only heating was available. Other than that, everything was great. It’s a Hotel I’d like to stay at again.

The front desk staff member was a man, and his courteous explanations made us feel truly welcome. There was only one bath area, but the open-air bath had a breathtaking view. The room was very clean, and there were many thoughtful touches—cups at the sink were color-coded to match the number of guests, an onsen basket was prepared, and each floor had a water dispenser so you could fill a pitcher and boil water in your room. Dinner differed from what we had selected at the time of booking, but it was an excellent kaiseki meal and delicious. The late-night snack and the breakfast buffet were also carefully seasoned item by item. The staff worked well together, which made our stay even more enjoyable. I would love to come again.

A facility combining a bathing complex with Accommodation. Stay in a Room with an open-air Onsen bath and sauna, facing the mountains rather than the road. The bath water is silky and lotion-like, with a perfect temperature that pairs wonderfully with the sauna. The washing area is spacious, and the Room is long and narrow. The large public bath also offers plenty to enjoy: a pot bath, open-air Onsen bath, a reclining bath with about 1 cm of water depth, a carbonated bath, a groundwater (?) bath, an indoor electric bath, and a sauna—ideal for Onsen lovers. Conveniently located about a 3-minute walk from the station.

I stayed here the day before visiting a grave. This was my second stay, and I chose it again this year because it is conveniently located near the station and the staff are very helpful. I would definitely like to stay again next year.

I stayed for two nights. Check-in took some time, but the room was reasonably spacious and comfortable. The large public bath is not very big, so I checked the crowding status on the in-room TV before going, but it was still crowded first thing in the morning. Breakfast had a wide variety of options and was high quality—I was very satisfied. The location is in the heart of the downtown area, which is convenient for dining and shopping. However, it’s a bit of a walk from Miyazaki Station. I hope the system issues are resolved soon.

I stayed here quite a long time ago and had been waiting for it to reopen. Only the top floor (the rooftop open-air bath) was closed, but I felt the breakfast selection had improved compared to before. However, it was disappointing that the parking lot directly behind the Hotel was not the Hotel’s parking lot.

This is a Hotel I often use in the relatively quiet area south of the station. This time, they arranged a high-floor room for me, and it was quiet at night as well, so I had a comfortable stay.

A new Hotel close to the station. The bed was Simmons and very comfortable. I was thirsty, so I enjoyed a welcome drink of coffee and Earl Grey tea using the electric kettle in the Room. The amenities were well-prepared, and above all, the Room felt clean and pleasant. If I had to point out one thing, it would be that the shower water pressure was a bit low. Breakfast was also satisfying; the grilled mackerel with salt was hot and delicious. I would recommend this Hotel to anyone visiting Okazaki!

I often choose JR-affiliated hotels for their convenient locations near stations. After enjoying the Blossom in Oita, I stayed here on a business trip to Hakata. Of the three options, I chose the Premier with the HAKATA Floor, which includes access to the top-floor lounge. While there isn’t a full food service like you’d find in a typical city hotel lounge, it was very convenient and easy to use for me—such as having matcha prepared as a welcome drink and being able to use it for extended hours. It was also fun that they offered a variety of local sweets, and the sweets provided in the room were delicious as well. I rated the facilities 4 points only because the large public bath happened to be crowded and I couldn’t fully relax—not really the hotel’s fault—but I thought it would be nice if there were a system to check restaurant and bath crowd levels from the room (as is sometimes available). (The in-room bath had a lovely woody aroma—I should have used that instead.) Breakfast on the 2nd floor made it easy to adjust portion sizes, and with comfortable sofa seating, I enjoyed an unhurried morning. There are plenty of dinner options nearby, and it felt like a safe area to go out alone at night.
