Business Hotel Uji(ビジネスホテル宇治)

I liked the homey feel of this hotel during my Kansai trip. It’s in a residential area, so nights are quiet, and there’s a 24-hour supermarket nearby. I can’t say how safe the area is, though it didn’t feel especially scary at night. Since quiet matters to me when I travel, that part could almost earn five stars. I gave service four because the facilities are old, especially the plumbing. Be careful with shower pressure so you don’t get burned. Still, the room was very clean, with only basic amenities. My flight was delayed and I missed the 10 PM check-in cutoff, but they made an exception after I called. The coin laundry is outside at the back, so ask the front desk how to use it.

I finished the set breakfast, and the free coffee was a nice touch. I was comfortable here. Thank you very much.

You can stay comfortably here. The room has space, although the bathroom is small. They provide nightwear, towels, and slippers. Hot water comes through well, but the overall flow isn’t very strong. I liked being able to control the lights and air conditioning remotely. The outlet is about one meter from the bed.

The front desk staff were really friendly. They pointed out nearby convenience stores and supermarkets, and when I bought groceries without getting chopsticks, they let me know chopsticks were available. That kind of human warmth made me grateful for this hotel.
