Best hotels in Japan

Tokiwadai Station is a stone's throw away, perfect for an active sightseeing stay. Seven-Eleven, McDonalds and other venues are also within a 5 minute walk radius. The staff are helpful and inviting, and the common rooms are clean and fresh. The lobby has a vending machine for drinks just in case.
The rooms are typical for Japanese dwellings, small and somewhat cramped. Cleaning has to be done by yourself, as is trash duty. Be advised that trash has to be properly sorted; the staff are helpful enough to render it a minor issue, but for some that might be a sticking point. Sometimes the noise from the passing trains leaks inside.

Close to station and right in the middle of Kabukicho, and the Ichiran Ramen Restaurant and nice shopping

The hotel is nearby station plus the port to Sado Island. Quiet and comfortable like other Crowne hotels. Good value, 2200JPY for breakfast and 4000 for lunch. Good view and amenities are the finest. Excellent cleanness. Good local knowledge.

Nice price for the place.
Just a personal gripe, but sometimes it can seem people are overly formal.

Great location overlooking the canal. An older family style with wonderful, helpful and friendly staff. The in-house onsen is a highlight and a beautiful small lounge on the ground floor. The rooms are small but that is common for Japanese accommodation. The restaurant is a must do providing excellent food. I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough.
Not disappointed with anything.

The double bed was very small

Totally randown, old furniture and equipment in the rooms, poor breakfast buffet, not the best curtomer service and as expensive as better hotels in the area.... what’s to like?
