The hotel's location is excellent, offering easy access to Tanga market, shopping areas, and the castle.

The hotel is located perfectly if you want to explore the traditional markets and the room, although a bit small for two large luggage pieces, is surprisingly comfortable and spacious for Japanese standards. The service is exceptional, with English-speaking and very helpful staff who greet you warmly. The hotel's proximity to both major attractions and the JR station makes it an excellent choice. The facilities are well-kept with great attention to detail.

The hotel is a bit on the expensive side but offers cozy and comfortable rooms with all the necessary coffee facilities, although they are a bit small. The service is very friendly and helpful, although the process of scanning the passport for issuing room keys can be a bit inconvenient. The location is perfect for business travelers, just a few steps from Kokura railway station and surrounded by traditional markets. The dining experience is good with a mix of western and Japanese cuisine, although more variety would be appreciated.

The rooms were a bit small with limited space to move around, but the bed was cozy and the desk was practical.
