“This location is ideal for travellers seeking modern comfort with a Japanese touch; the tatami rooms especially appealed to me. While the hotel has a contemporary feel and is conveniently near Shin Omiya Station, I found the service levels inconsistent with its five-star status. Still, the thoughtful extras, like the rooftop terrace and on-site public baths, elevate the stay.”
