Hotel Fine Garden Juso

The Hotel is a more traditional style accommodation, where you are basically paying for a room and get a few bonuses thrown in (Ella Bache Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash and some other lotions). Whenever you leave the Hotel you're required to hand in your key, which they give you a laminated card to show when you return (most hotels give you a keycard that you take with you during your stay). The reception is available 24/7, but if no-one is at the desk, then you needed to ring the bell, which was responded to promptly and staff were friendly and polite. It would have been nice to have tea/coffee/milk/sugar sachets available, but this was not an option. I really appreciated having access to a washing machine and dryer to be able to wash my clothes that was really cheap to use (¥300 for washing machine, ¥100 per 30 minutes for dryer). One thing that I wasn't quite prepared for was knowing the nature of the area that I was staying in, and the clientele of the Hotel (essentially termed a Love Hotel). Whilst this didn't greatly impact my experience, it did result in some additional noises from accompanying rooms.

The massager was a lot of help. I just hoped that it was sanitized.

All fine good
