The hotel is conveniently located above the main train station. Access to transport links is fantastic. I found the bus station right outside the hotel (it is often quicker than the Metro!). Walking to many shrines and temples was easy.
Navigating around such a sprawling station took some time. I walked a bit before finding my way.

the hotel location is convenient. it connects directly to the station for jr and subway lines. isetan and 7-eleven are within the same building.
the hotel has a slightly dated feel. its design is reminiscent of the late 1990s or early 2000s. this aspect could benefit from some updating to modernize its aesthetic.
