우라와 미소노역 × 데이유스가 인기 있는 숙소평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

I always feel that this is a very simple and functional Hotel. It’s close to the station, there’s a convenience store on the way from the station, and it also has a bathroom, so it’s very good.

Located within a 5-minute walk from the station, making it ideal for travelers using the train. There are plenty of nearby restaurants, so you’ll have lots of dining options. The room is typical for a business hotel, but the unit bath bathtub is quite small and may be difficult to use even for an average-sized person. Amenities such as toothbrushes and razors are available in the first-floor lobby for guests to pick up what they need. I didn’t use it this time, but there seems to be a laundry facility as well. Wi-Fi is around 300 Mbps, which is fast enough for browsing and streaming videos. I booked a single room, but they kindly provided a semi-double instead, which I really appreciated. This will be one of my top choices when staying in Omiya.

I heard it opened this June, and as a new hotel it was very clean. We drove and used the multi-story parking garage. I expected delays getting in and out, but luckily it went smoothly. We booked two single rooms. They were initially far apart, but when we asked for adjacent rooms, the front desk staff (three women) handled it quickly and smoothly. The room was new and spotless—nothing to complain about. At some hotels, the rinse cups by the sink are glass and I sometimes wonder if they’re only wiped with a sponge, but here they provide individually wrapped paper cups, which feels much more hygienic. The large public bath was also great: each washing station has partitions, and there’s an open-air bath as well as a pot-style bath, so we could really relax. There are three elevators, so you rarely have to wait. Above all, the location is excellent. Cocoon City and the arena are nearby—no complaints at all. In Tokyo, accommodation and parking can be expensive, but in Saitama it’s great value for money. Breakfast doesn’t have a huge selection, but it’s more than enough. I went back for seconds of Musashino udon and the familiar APA curry. I’d definitely like to stay here again.

The room was very clean, and there was nothing in particular that bothered me—I was very satisfied. I felt it offered excellent value for money. The large public bath was also great, but if I had to mention one thing, it would have been nice to have sauna mats, as not having them was a bit uncomfortable.
