Apart from cleanliness (as expected in most if not all Japan's hotels) and good location, i've nothing else to say about this hotel. But still, it's definitely better than the hotels in Tokyo! HEHE! But if u are going during winter, you might wanna request for the rooms that are NOT facing the road. The husband and i had problems... More

We stayed in this hotel for two nights. It was very clean and comfortable. With three of us in the room it was also very squeezy...but that is expected in Japan.

We (2 couples) stayed there in 2010 and have booked at the Hotel Vibrant for 2012, returing with our adult children and another family. The location is ideal, mid way between the station and canal area. Nothing is far away. Bening a converted bank means it has some... More
