goom Hotel Haruyoshi

There are two 7-Elevens right outside the alley, which is about the only good thing. The dust was so bad that my nose kept running, so I had to sleep in a mask. There was no hot water when it was 4 degrees outside, making it impossible to shower. When hot water did come through, it got hot so suddenly I nearly burned myself. I booked a week based only on the Agoda reviews, but I couldn't sleep there any longer and found another hotel. I was assigned a room on the fourth floor, and with no elevator I wanted to throw my suitcase away on the climb. I had to carry two big cases, including my wife's. If you book because you think a little inconvenience is manageable, you may regret it. Be ready to wear a mask in bed and struggle with a shower.

The value for money was good, and it wasn't a bad stay despite a few annoyances. The place wasn't too dirty, though some spots could have been cleaner. They have large towels, but don't provide extras even for a multi-night stay. It's hard to set the water temperature: turning the hot tap all the way and the cold one halfway let me wash quickly. You have to adjust them, turning off the cold when it gets cold and the hot when it gets hot.

A really poor stay, and not cheap for what you get. The mattress was a folding sofa mattress, which shocked me, and it was extremely uncomfortable to sleep on. The sheets and duvet covers were also 2266. I could hear the neighbors' washing machine in the middle of the night. The whole accommodation was poor. I really don't recommend it.

Good value for the money, and I like the place given its price and location. As other reviews mention, there's dust in spots people don't usually touch. The room is spacious for the price, but keep in mind there's no vanity mirror.
