Mr.KINJO in VIOLETTE HIGASHIMACHI

Having a washer and dryer in the room was a godsend for light travellers like us.

Really nice, roomy place.

Getting the key was a hassle. You have to go to the main building, and when I arrived early to leave my luggage, nobody was there until 3:00 PM. The room was pleasant and felt more like an apartment, but cleaning costs extra. They provide towels, not pajamas, so bring or buy your own. The bed was the softest I’ve ever had in a hotel. Its springs gave me back and hip pain, and I barely slept, so be careful if that matters to you.

I was in room 301, and the noise made it impossible to sleep. Whenever it was windy, the exhaust fan’s outside cover banged against the wall. The walls and ceiling also let through a lot of noise from upstairs. The bed was much too soft, and the water kept switching between hot and cold. There was a kettle but no cups in the room or bathroom. Check-in is in a separate area, but nobody picked up the phone all day, no matter how many times I called.
