Ultra clean hotel with great amenities and features. I would say the main issues were having only 3 elevators hardly met the demands of the people. There more than a few times where I waited over 3 minutes for an elevator and a few times I had to wait for the next elevator. Also they need a few more wash machine and dryer. I stood in line for the next washing machine for over 2 hours. Shin-shigai over all needs a makeover. It looks dirty, dark and unsafe, but the hotel itself is beautiful inside. ##### koichi Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott Apr 15, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice hotel.

However, the bathroom vanity (sink and mirror) is outside the toilet, facing the twin beds. No on-site parking but you can easily park at the underground carpark that’s just a traffic light away from the hotel at a reasonable rate. ##### Pauline Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MinJung May 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good location (It was convenient as there are many restaurants nearby.) clean room, kind staffs,nice spa.
