Tabist Business Hotel Osamura

I was unsure about booking because the price was so low, but my one-night stay without meals went perfectly well. It could even beat a business hotel charging 7,000 to 8,000 yen. I'd stay here again.

The room was clean, and both the bathroom and toilet were modern and easy to use. The building looks old-fashioned and the walls and doors seem a little flimsy, so I was initially hesitant. The front desk staff were very kind and helpful. My one small wish is that there were a kettle for boiling water. Being able to watch subscription videos on the TV is a nice bonus, though you have to log in.

I don't speak Japanese, but the staff were attentive and used Google Translate to make things easier for me 🤣. It was my first stay here and the price was reasonable. The hotel is close to the train station, so it's convenient, and if I come back I'd choose it again. 🤫

The shared area was handy, with free hot water, a microwave, condiments, and dishes. There was also a large fridge with ice, useful for keeping bigger souvenirs chilled or frozen. My room had a hairdryer and bidet, and even though smoking was allowed, the smell wasn't too strong. When I asked for more tissues, they brought them right away. The staff were polite and warm from check-in onward. Parking by the station is limited, but there's a cheaper lot behind the station, so it wasn't a big problem. Small, cozy place, and I'd definitely return.
