forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.52 out of 5 (808 reviews). Guests mention thoughtful touches that families with children could enjoy, such as a festival-style event for kids and a dessert buffet, and found the baskets provided for carrying clothes and other belongings to the communal bath handy for families. Others note that the rooms are small and the building feels dated, so if space and up-to-date facilities matter to you, it is worth checking in advance.
