Hotel Yamanouchi

not perfectly clean

This Hotel would be great for someone looking for no-frills accommodations. First the cons : The walk to the Hotel from the Makishi exit was a little bit more than was stated on the hotels website. (It took us about 10 minutes) Also the sign for the hotel was in japanese making it difficult for english speakers like me to find. The breakfest was the same every day, a change in menu would be nice. The bed was really hard, a norm for japanese hotels. Our room could use some repairs, as the carpet was old and torn in some spots. The walls and ceilings had/needed some patches. Also THERE WAS NO A/C in our room. It was really hot/humid when we stayed (january). I don't know if January was still considrered winter and the hotel turned off the whole a/c system or if was only our room. I did not understand what the front desk clerk was telling me. They directed me to use a standing fan. For me personally, a standing fan cannot replace a/c. I feel they should have comped me the daily breakfast that I was charged Y500 per person/day. If you are happy with basic accomodations this is for you.

This hotel is really clean, and this was my second time staying there. The building is a little old, but everything has been updated, and they have good services and kind staff. I will stay here again! Also, the free breakfast bento is really nice. It is not like other hotels where you have to pay extra to get a "free breakfast." Anybody staying here can get one for free. Also, the location on Kokusai Dori (International Avenue) really is fantastic. There are other hotels on the same street, but usually at a much greater cost.

The location is very convenient, and while the furniture is a bit old, the room is still fairly clean. However, the soundproofing isn’t great, likely due to the hotel’s age. I could hear the noise from the advertisement board at the intersection, guests opening and closing doors, and even the elevator from inside the room. Also, my room had only one power outlet, which was a bit inconvenient.
