Reasonably priced hotel, excellent location and good breakfast
Our room was very spacious and comfortable, and we really enjoyed it. However, the bathroom floor felt a little unstable, so I think that is something that should be repaired.
The location is great! Sea Mall is right next to the hotel and Shimonoseki station is 2-3 minutes away. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the facilities are nice and clean.

Showing its age but still good value and very convenient for public transport, restaurants, shopping and supermarket.
Spent 3 nights. Easy access from the station only a few minutes from main stores facilities. Amazing service! The building itself old but the fully refurbished and dairy cleaning was excellent the room was made up perfectly. Was the comfortable during our stays also breakfast service was included there are not that much variations but menu change every days. We spent a relaxing times every morning
Location of this hotel is very good but downside is the direction for the carpark is a mess! They don’t have drop-off space for driver, the only indication for parking is inside the lift lobby at 1/F while reception is at the 4/F! Parking fee is fair though, room is clean but the bathroom is a little bit old and small! For price wise it’s not bad!
