The hotel has public baths for men and women. While guests did appreciate having these on site, they were almost universally described as too small for the size of the hotel, leading to an uncomfortably crowded atmosphere.
Guests couldn't seem to say enough good things about the hotel's staff. They were described as most welcoming and friendly, and seemingly always ready with a smile.
This was by far the most common, and most serious, complaint. While certainly not a pod hotel, guests were nonetheless dissatisfied with the size of the rooms. Guests mention that some of the rooms were so small that even the bed had to be pushed against a wall.
While reviews of the quality of the breakfast were very mixed, and about evenly split, there was something of a consensus that it was overpriced. Considering that it was a reasonably standard buffet guests simply felt it wasn't worth the high price charged.
This was a surprisingly common and specific complaint. Guests couldn't exactly explain what it was about them, but many found the pillows to be very uncomfortable.
