Our comfortable room window opens to a well preserved gate of the Mito castle. Large room with a queen sized bed. Long bath. Bathroom is retrofitted with a high step to go in and out of the bathroom. This is dangerous for seniors who may trip on it at night. Carpark us in the right side of the hotel but contrary to the booking agency, there is a daily fee of Yen600 for multuple entries. Close to restaurants and convenience stores.
This hotel is perfectly fine. Yes the rooms are small but they are comfortable and clean. I didn't expect luxury for the price we paid, so it suited the expectation. It seemed to be recently painted and looked fresh. The doorways are very short, just be careful not to bump your head! But this adds to the charm. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Also the breakfast was fine. It mainly had Japanese options, but this is to be expected in Japan! There is a Family Mart convenience store very close by and restaurants within walking distance. I'd stay here again.
