Hotel Musashiya

Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Location on front was great. Food was exceptional; being brought full service Japanese meal in our room in teh evenings was great, as was the Japanese breakfast in the hotel's dining areas. Eating Japanese style on the floor was an experience. Great to have the loan of kimonos etc as dressing gowns. Nice pool on top floor but didn't try this as nudity required and coronavirus considerations...

Futon sleeping arrangement consisted of a thin matress on the floor, which was frankly uncomfortable. Unable to lie down in the day as futon was put away. No comfortable places to sit instead, just two chairs without any legs and two kindergarten size chairs (very short legs) with a coffee table. Chairs and tables were old and chipped; main table was MDF covered in chipped formica. Heating is from an old air blower in the ceiling. Bathroom is capsule style in plastic and old. Generally decor and furnishings require significant upgrade to justify the price point. Sheets and towels, whilst probably clean, did not smell freshly laundered; towels were tissue paper thin and a bit small. No fluffly towels here!
