The first night I was given a smoke room and also a room that should never have been used as a room for guest to stay for there are three flowing pipes were buried through the wall or the floor of this room (the room number is 455) How do I know? I was basically awake the whole night and in the morning, I heard three times of loud beeping at a seperate time, after each beep, the flowing sound stops. The hotel did not do as agreed to give me a smoke free and quiet room to begin with. I arrived late that day and then I put down my luggage and went out for dinner and had a stroll. Then I came back and noticed the noise. I was very tired but could not sleep. I was told by a nice staff there that I can only change room from next day. They did change my room the next day. But what happened is that there are clubs nearby? They played loud drum/base music until early morning.

Not getting a double room.

Neighbourhood seems a bit dodgy - lots of night clubs but actually OK.

The common areas are due for a renovation and the staff was friendly but didn't go out of their way to make me feel welcome. Room was smaller than I expected.

Friendly staff, affordable price, and alright location. Reception manned 24/7 which is always nice. Room was clean and well equipped.

Great location and good price.

The Hotel was at a good location and the room and property were very clean. The staff was very friendly as well.

Outside, the building looks old, low ceiling a the room floors, doors as well. It feels like you've grown. The room is really small too compared to other Japanese hotels I've been to. Not enough space to leave your bag next to the bed or between the desk/tv and the beds. Only place is the room entrance. The bathroom reminds you of being in planes bathroom.

Just picked the cheapest hotel in town (with a 2 twin bed configuration). For the price, it's not bad tough. The walk is a bit long (20 mins) from the rail station but it's located not too far from main road, and hosts many shopping stores and convenient stores. Staff allowed us to checking a bit before the official checkin time (to be noted as some Japanese hotels would only do it exactly at 3pm).

Staff were fine but not friendly. Could occasionally smell smoke

Comfy beds, good bath/shower, good amenities available

Staff was really nice and the room was really clean! Also cleaned everyday.

There was a smoke smell, although my room was a non-smoking room, I suspect it was through other who smoke in different rooms perhaps. The walls are very thin and I could hear a some noise of the residents around me and in the hall way. Also, the pillows were too hard and not the most comfortable. Furthermore, the Air condition had a weird smell to it, probably needs better filter cleaning. Finally the location is about 20 mins from the main Train station which was a bit far especially when it trains or carrying heavy luggage.

The breakfast was nice, the shower and the room as facilities were not bad as well but my complaint is mostly regarding the ambient and the surroundings not the furniture or the room structure per say.

The room was a bit smaller than I had expected. The walls were really thin and I had a disturbed sleep because of noises from outside; the ac was noisy too.

Cheap stay, all the basic facilities you could need.

Though located close to the red light area it was never really a problem

Smile as the name suggested makes guests smile. The cleaning staff was great by the way, very friendly.

A stroll away from the city centre. It is not the newest hotel in town but it has all you need to rest and get ready for a new day.

The room space is too small and I can not walk after opening my suitcase.

Stayed in October 2023

This hotel was quite loud. Many people were talking in the hallway and you could hear it in the room. It is further from both the shin aomori shinkansen station and aomori station than convenient. As it was raining, I took the bus from Aomori station. I booked one night on booking.com and asked for an extra night at check-in. They said no, so I changed hotels in the rain the next day. But in the morning, there were rooms available on booking again. Frustrating. The foot of the bed is against the wall. If you are taller than 185cm, it might be a problem.

Price when I needed a room.

Overall very nice hotel

The bed was extremely comfortable and I had everything I needed. I like that amenities were provided separately so as to reduce waste.

I booked a non-smoking room but my worst expectation came true that I just got given a smokers room regardless. The elevator is tiny, the room was even smaller, if you have a normal sized suitcase, don't bother with the single sized room. I had my carry on suitcase and I had to put it on the bed to open it. I could touch the desk whilst sitting on the bed. This was by far the most expensive accommodation I had booked and the worst room I got by far in my 5 various hotels I have stayed in. Avoid this hotel unless it's dirt cheap (I wouldn't pay more than $40 per night). I didn't keep a photo of the room, but here's a photo of how outdated this place (featuring the most likely haunted telephone, it looks like it's been there since the early 90s).

It was fairly close to the station, a 15 minute walk. Other than that, nothing else.

Smaller than most hotel rooms.

It was clean. Staff was friendly. It was a no frills just a place to stay along with an optional breakfast for an additional charge.

Stayed in April 2023

Firstly when we open the room there a bad smell from toilet / bathroom , room is very small , no coffee or milk or sugar as most hotels provide for guest when I ask they told me to buy coffee on vending machine . The only plus is room are clean everyday . So I can only give it a rating fair .
