HOTEL R9 The Yard Asahi City Ro

Because of the unique container Room concept, you can stay at any R9 with confidence knowing the quality is consistently reliable. Aside from the difference between twin and double, the layout and in-room amenities feel standardized. There is also physical distance between neighboring Rooms, so noise is not an issue. The Room lock here was a key card type, though some locations use a PIN code system. There aren’t many restaurants nearby at this location, but there’s a supermarket just a few minutes’ walk away that sells deli items and boxed meals, which is very convenient. If there’s one thing I find disappointing about R9, it’s the complimentary frozen light meal (one per night). Among the options, the curry rice never heats properly in the microwave. The rice gets piping hot, but the curry stays cold and slightly icy. I’ve tried it at four different R9 locations and it was always the same—I ended up mixing them together to even out the temperature before eating. Safer choices are yaki udon or fried rice. Honestly, that’s about all I can complain about—personally I really like R9 overall. If you’re hesitant because it’s a container Room, I’d definitely recommend trying it at least once.

Thank you for your continued support.
