The location cannot be perfect. You have the access to all the amenities in the station complex. If you are cycling in the area, you will be able to hit the road in a minute from your room. I especially like that you can bring your bikes to your room and hang on the wall, which is impossible in 99% of the hotels in Japan.

The lock system is EXTREMELY difficult to use, and it's especially difficult to open the room door from the inside, which in my opinion poses a public safety concern, as it might delay the evacuation in an event of emergency.

Even though it was a small room, it fit my family of 3 so comfortably! The pictures of the room were exactly the same as what we received in person. Staff was also helpful and did their best to help us with our parking situation in English! We loved the minimalist concept of the loft rooms, and savvy use of space within hotel. It made a small space feel cozy and spacious at the same time.

The parking garage for this hotel is in the adjoining building. I'd recommend guests needing parking lots to inquire the staff via the app/email regarding the parking address and details before arriving. This was something I did not do and should have! It is recommended to park on level 4 of the "Tsuchiura City Station East Parking Lot"/ "Tsuchiura-shi eki-higashi". Parking on level 4 leads to a bridge to the hotel's building!

The hotel is new and clean, with a remarkable design. It is located right at the train station, so it is easy to find and convenient. There are bicycle rental facilities nearly or people to easily rent a bicycle and ride the cycling tracks in the area. What I like most is the breakfast coupons that I can buy from the hotel at a very reasonable price. I chose to have breakfast at the noodle place near the train station gates and to my surprise it serves that best tsukemen that I have ever tasted.

If I have to criticize, the hotel doesn't have a big onsen bath to relax my tired legs after cycling for the whole day. But the guest room has a big bathtub so I could still enjoy a bath in our own room.

Just above train station and bus terminal Easy access to food and transportation. Room is spacious for 2 adults 2 kids. We rented bicycles from the hotel.

-Limited bicycle choices. Not the hotel issues: -Cycling tracks are not risk free. There are nice payment for cyclist but there are some part of tracks shared with cars. There was a poiny where we found ourselves on main road with heavy traffic.

Large and comfortable beds. Location and proximity to rail station made it all too easy. No carpet floors was a big plus.

No fresh air, you must rely on reverse cycle air conditioning, which was not comfortable for us both. Only 1 chair for two people. Neverless my rating is high due to reasons I gave above.

Stylish hotel Friendly staff Good location for cycling

Room was uncomfortably hot. We tried turning down the thermostat but that didn't help. No need for that in November. The window shade was translucent so there wasn't a way to darken the room. Some noise from station platform

Everything about this hotel is new, clean and new feeling. Very well designed so that you feel it is all larger than it is with sufficient room and storage for a multi day stay.

I cannot think of any improvements

Very beautiful and convenient place

The staff were OK but I thought they’d be more equipped to deal in English (based on my experience with most hotels at this level in Japan). Not a big deal since I can understand a bit of Nihongo, but it could’ve been better

Location is very convenient, connected to the train station and shops. Room was good sized, comfortable and well laid out. Cafe offered very interactive dining experiences!

Room temperature was quite warm despite lowering air-con to 21 degrees. Sound proofing not very good, can hear room upstairs or kids running on the corridor.

Very clean, lots of food options, and the customer service was awesome! A bit far from Tokyo but we were visiting family that lives in Ushiku so it was very convenient for us. Honestly, the stay was so enjoyable I wouldn't mind the hour long train ride into the big city.
