Budget friendly, comfortable, well located hotel.
Practical accommodation close to the station and public transport. Good value. Nice breakfast with lots of variety on the buffet. Another guest smoked on our floor -the bad smell lingered a while. Otherwise, it was an excellent stay.

I was having breathing problems at night and once i switch off the Aircon and open the windows everything is okay or i have to keep the Air purifier run all night. I stayed in a hotel near Smile hotel with similar room rent but far better rooms.

Some of the friendly staff do not speak English fluently, but they always tried to help, so it would be helpful if you know a little bit of Japanese.
Very high value for the price.

The breakfast buffet was terrible, and the closing time is 9:30am but they stopped putting out food 30 minutes before closing. If you come out late you get white rice and a cup of coffee, also they don’t offer coffee or tea in the room for guests.
