2 star hotels in Japan

The single room with a private bathroom I booked didn't have a shower, so I had to use the communal bathhouse. The toilet was fine. Otherwise, everything was good, and the breakfast was quite rich. I recommend booking with breakfast included.

A wonderful old-fashioned little hotel. The Japanese-style rooms are large and comfortable, and there's a small onsen (hot spring) for relaxation. The breakfast area is small but has a wide variety of food. The best thing is the service. I drove here and there was no parking available, but they kindly offered to park me for free for a day. That was amazing!

Location is excellent, like 5 mins walk from the station. 8-10mins walk to the lake park. The staff there are really friendly and nice! Definitely come back!

It's quite convenient, located within a 10-minute walk of the station. The facilities are comprehensive, and the reception staff speaks English and are very welcoming.

This is a great hotel! Especially I like it about breakfast and onsen . Breakfast is the all-you-can-eat style . You can eat rices, soup ,breads,meets,vegetables,fish,milk,tea,juice,coffee,fruit and so on. Onsen is not wide but it’s very beautiful! Have a good trip!

The buffet breakfast had a wide variety of items and was all delicious. If you are staying overnight, I highly recommend booking a room with breakfast included.

Clean and tidy room, with good amenities. With friendly staff

The onsen and saunna are good, but the hotel location is far from station.

It was a good night for me and I had a great time.

Great stay ❤️ friendly environment ❤️ convenience shop & metro/ train station just few minutes away

location isn't too bad with walking distance of ~10-15 mins to Osaka main station, Quite residential neighborhood and grab snacks at the closest metro station before heading back hotel would save you the additional trip as the convenience store is ~ 5 mins away. love the staffs as they are very nice and helpful. the outdoor spa is bit small but clean. I will sure come back to enjoy this hidden gem...

This room are so nice and extremely clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly . Their smile is a real plus point ! Love their onsen facilities and sauna too ! Though breakfast is a bento set the selection is nice . Can heat it up with microwave in the room . I also Love the onsen and sauna , nothing beat a nice and relaxing treat after a day walk . There isn’t much food around but if u walk...

Putting aside any resentment towards Japan regarding the hotel itself, the overall environment is fantastic. The hotel's location is slightly remote, near the sea, but thankfully convenient. There's a restaurant downstairs and a convenience store next door, so you can buy almost anything you need. The hotel's breakfast is excellent, with almost no repetition each day; the scrambled eggs are particularly...

1) the receptionist on May 14, 2025 around 22:00 was not willing to help us doing the self-check in kiosk. We were about 15 minutes struggling on putting our names or booking ID to verify the booking but it didn’t work. After that a staff with glasses came from the room from the back of reception and helped us through it. Thx a lot to her. 2. The carpet in the room is very old and dirty

A place to sleep Booked last minute for our disneyland trip for a good price. They were able to hold our luggage in the morning before we checked in which was nice. The hotel is basic enough, really just a place to sleep. There was some mold on the blinds and around the windows in the room that needs to be addressed and the hallways are a bit of a shambles. However for just being a place for us to...

Very good! Convenient transportation

I stayed overnight while out with a friend, and the environment was satisfactory.

The parking lot in front of the hotel is small, but they have a partnership with a nearby multi-story parking lot so you can park without any problems.

You can park your bike underground, which is great for keeping out the wind and rain.

Although it's an older hotel, the service is excellent. They offer free curry rice from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM, and there's a miso soup and coffee dispenser in the lobby. They even gave me a complimentary sweet bun of my choice when I checked in. It's within walking distance of the city center, but it's quiet and not surrounded by bars. I'd love to stay here again.

Facilities: OK Average hygiene The service was excellent

Basic room etc as expected. Clean and comfortable though. Nothing really to complain about!

Good location, price and service, but some informational documents and papers could be translated into English.

It seems the rooms were recently upgraded with a huge screen mirror at the wash room, a second screen in the bathroom, and a third smart TV. IF the first floor doesn’t smell cigarette, I’ll give it a give-star rating.

This hotel was an amazing surprise. Even though it’s listed as “Adults Only”, the place has nothing “kinky” or unusual about it —just a clean, spacious, and incredibly comfortable stay. It ended up being the best hotel of my entire trip in Japan. The room was spotless and huge, with a great bathroom, a jacuzzi tub, and multiple TVs —including one facing the tub and another built into the bathroom...

Most of these reviews are for the old hotel. Hotel LOTUS is amazing and one of my favorite hotels in Japan. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. This is the only place I would stay in Okayama. Love it! Thank you for a great stay!

Facilities: Quite old. About a 10-minute walk from the JR station. Hygiene: Generally good, quite decent. Environment: Close to the city hall, generally good. Service: Overall good, quite satisfactory.

Arrived in Toyama with great excitement, ready to start my trip. The room design was a bizarre, face-to-face door structure. I was originally assigned room 611, but for some reason, it was changed to 601, which has that face-to-face door layout. The front desk's explanation was astounding: 'Because it's cheaper.' I was speechless. Isn't the price set by *them*? How does that relate to the room's structure...

Budget friendly, clean and close to attractive locations

Business hotel sized rooms. As other reviews said, they do not help keep luggage after check out. Please beware. Not that hard to find the hotel with the help of maps.

This hotel really nice, near to toyama station and toyama temple just like 10 minutes walk, superb

A bit of walking distance from Toyama station, need to cross roads few times to reach the hotel. The room is small but well equipped. Detergent is not provided FOC if you want to use washing machine, need to go to hotel reception to get one.

Spacious compare with other city hotels. Staff are helpful and pleasant. A convenience store is nearby and no restaurants are around. However, short walk to Susukino where lot of eateries.

It's not bad if you're traveling solo and just need a place to sleep, though the transportation is a bit inconvenient. However, considering you can walk to Sapporo Station in about 30 minutes, it's not too bad. There's also a park nearby, which is great for walks.

Clean and great customer service.

Clean and great customer service.

The hotel is great! The front desk service was excellent. They were very enthusiastic about helping guests solve problems and were always polite. They'd greet everyone they met with a "Good morning," which made for a really pleasant experience.

The location is convenient and close to the market, but the service could be more user-friendly.

Great experience! The location is convenient, close to all the main attractions. I'll definitely book again on my next visit.

Reasonable price and the room size is small but acceptable. However, the room had a strong cigarette smell.

Building seems new. TV had a very dirty screen. Worst was the unfriendliness of the Japanese man. I extended my stay and paid 7,000 for a tiny room. I should have booked online. Receiving instant cash and can communicate in Japanese but cannot even smile for 3 seconds? I had to find a taxi from the road, he would not even allow me to keep my suitcase for several minutes. Before or after check in...

The room was exactly as pictured. It was a bit cramped for two people, but the location was excellent! Very close to Shinsaibashi, with other shopping areas and an underground mall nearby. There were also many vendors selling bento boxes.

Everything else was fine, but a middle-aged man, who I assume was the manager, told me I couldn't refill my water bottle at the dispenser. If I were filling a lot, I wouldn't have said anything, but it was only 550ml, and he still made a fuss. It felt very undignified. I've stayed at this chain in Kyoto too. I don't know if this is a franchise issue, but at the Kyoto Kamogawa branch, none of the staff...

Location was near train station . Lots eateries around. Quiet hotel with kitchen ameneties. I like it even though it was Abit old hotel but we'll maintained. Staff were friendly .

The hotel's location is pretty good, very close to Ikebukuro Station, and the price is quite reasonable. However, the hygiene conditions are just average. The desk is very small, and there are very few power outlets; I had to unplug the TV to charge my devices.

My 4th time stay at Sakura Hotel. I really love this place when I travel to Tokyo everytime. Few minutes walk from Ikebukuro station West exit C6. The staff are all very nice. There is lift in the hotel. Coin laundry is available. Hotel provides slipper, if you want the towel, you can rent for 100yen. Toilet and shower room is clean. Room is clean. This is always my first choice when I stay in Tokyo...

Good customer service and the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The room was clean and comfortable, making the experience pleasant overall.

Not bad, it's not the first time I've booked with them, and the price is quite affordable too.

Good location, and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Most can speak good English. I appreciate them letting me practice my Japanese, too!

In the middle of the Yudaonsen, near convenience store, in house hot springs is ok. Room has good space and new toilet refurbished. Staff is very helpful ful. Will come again.

The front desk staff were very friendly and everyone was always smiling. One thing that bothered me was that a Korean or Chinese person got into the bathtub without washing themselves, and after soaking for a long time, they started lying down on the edge of the bathtub, which made me feel uncomfortable.

The hotel has a large sense of space. This is definitely one of the five largest rooms I've had in my nearly 30 years of staying in Japanese hotels. There are 28 square meters. There are relatively few places to shower in the large public bath. Others are fine. There are three set times for breakfast. Each segment is only half an hour long. A bit stressful for us leisure travelers. Others generally...

They brought me a spoon from the restaurant and lent it to me.

It was a normal business hotel. It was nothing special. It's fine for a normal business hotel.

Great place to stay,right across the street is Ginza Mall,and close to subway station, and very clean

Stayed for 4 days. The place is accessible esp.for shopping, transportation including transfers and some local restaurants. Theres also convenient stores nearby. No complains to be honest. Staff are very respectful and attentive (receptionists and housekeepers). Overall it was a very satisfactory experience. Keep up the good work!

This hotel is right in the heart of Ginza, making shopping and dining incredibly convenient. It's just a 5-minute walk to Shimbashi Station, and there are also subway lines nearby, making it easy to get anywhere. The room was exceptionally clean, and for less than 400 yuan in such a prime location, the room was surprisingly spacious – enough to open two suitcases without a problem. Disposable slippers...

The hotel's location is extremely convenient, and it offers great value for money. Check-in is self-service, which is very handy. Although the room is small, it has everything you need – well-equipped, clean, and tidy. Overall, it was a very good experience.

An average hotel, good for a transit stay. The environment and hygiene are both good. It's located in Ginza, about a 10-minute walk from where the bus drops you off coming from Narita Airport. It's even closer to Shimbashi Station, making it convenient for JR connections.

Great location Great room Will stay again Services is good.

Very clean. Great location easy to find and some Sake on arrival. Very kind staff

Good location. Lots of shopping and restaurants around.

Nice hotel. Polite and well services

Comfortable and friendly and clean

I came to Kagoshima not as a traveler, but as someone moving to the area. I had much to do in a short time, namely get acclimated, secure a place to live, and begin my new job. had booked 3 nights, and ended needing one more night, which I booked online the night before checkout, which still saved me money. The amenities were fine. Internet via Ethernet was included, and it was plenty fast. The bathroom...

Was nice area. I wish I could have stayed little longer.

The room was clean and the manager was very nice.

Convenient hotel, help staff good for major railroad lines

Flexstay Inn Kawasaki is located just under 1 km from Kawasaki Train Station. On the day that I arrived, I ended up being late due to travel from the previous location. I contacted Flexstay prior to make this arrangement and they were very accommodating allowing me to check-in at 11pm. The Hotel is very close to convenience stores or if you want to choose from a range of restaurants, they are all within...

First of all, it was very far from the station. Also, I thought it would be the same as other Flex Inns, but it was more like a room in an old apartment building, so it didn't feel like a hotel. The receptionist was kind.

Too far from the station, and the station is also too far from Narita. There are four convenience stores nearby. The best restaurant nearby is Royal Host. Katsuzen's food was just average, and I haven't tried the offal specialty shop next door yet. The microwave and induction cooker in the room were very helpful. Unfortunately, only one trash bag was provided in the room. We originally wanted...

With baseball training season and the WBC camps in full swing, all hotels in Miyazaki City are over 10,000 yen. Despite this, I was able to stay at a reasonable price. The facilities are old, but sufficient for a one-night business trip. It's also conveniently located near the downtown area and convenience stores.

The room was a little old, but it was spacious and there was plenty of desk space, so it was easy to use. The bathroom was a little small, but there is a large public bath for men. I was having trouble connecting to the WiFi so I called the front desk, and a female staff member named Uchiyama came to my room, checked the situation, and restarted the WiFi on my floor, so I was able to connect. The service...

This is a cheap hotel, for better or worse. It's OK if you're only staying there to sleep. The hot spring is also nice. [Good Points] - Hot spring - The rooms are small, but well-cleaned. - If you have any problems with the amenities, they'll respond immediately if you inquire. - It's quiet, as most guests are business travelers. [Not So Good] - It's quite difficult to bring your amenities. - The...

This is a business hotel. The guest room facilities seemed old, but the walls were not torn and it was well cleaned. There is no power outlet next to the pillow, so it is best to bring an extension cord if possible. There is a free breakfast, and the bread was delicious. There is a machine that dispenses juice and soup, and it is self-service. Check-in and check-out are done by machine. I think it...

Great location, simple breakfast and very efficient checkin process.

good location near by oodori station and susukino.

Affordable. Staff is kind and accomodating.

This hotel is a true hidden gem! Situated in a peaceful part of downtown Chiba, it’s within walking distance of train and monorail stations, with plenty of convenience stores and restaurants nearby. The staff is friendly and always ready to assist. Overall, this property provides excellent value for the price

Basic business hotel with relatively cheap price. The location is good and the bed was quite comfortable.

Decent business hotel, does has it charm of age.

Actually, when I stayed there, I didn't feel that the location was bad or that far from Chiba Station. The staff were very friendly, of course, and Also, although the hotel key was a key, not a card, I left it with the staff at the counter when I went out and went out, so it wasn't that inconvenient, But when I was charging my phone or battery, there was no place close to the bed, so it was a little...

This is a place I would like to come back to! It is easy to find and accessible!

It's very easy to hear people in the hall. A/C worked alright, and the internet was quite good for Japan

I chose to stay at Pocket Hotel near Gojo Subway Station for my cherry blossom viewing trip in Kyoto. It was incredibly clean and hygienic, with separate accommodations and bathing facilities for men and women. I'll definitely stay here again next time. It offers excellent value for money and is very clean. Truly a great choice!

It feels like a boutique hotel but at a hostel price point, offering the perfect balance of privacy and community. The rooms are cleverly designed and spotless, while the communal lounge is a great place to plan your day. Being so close to the subway and Kyoto’s best shrines, it’s the ideal home base for exploring.

The hygiene was good, but you have to make your own futon. The front desk service was also very good. I arrived in Kyoto in the morning feeling very tired, so I paid extra to check in early, and I could even pay with Alipay.

This place is AMAZING for its price point. Everything is sparkling clean and quite new. The location is amazing as it is just next to the metro station. It is also quite close to the bus station and that's important as buses are way more convenient than trains in Kyoto. For food, there are cheap franchised restaurants around and 7-eleven right opposite. In terms of service, the staff there are friendly...

I had a very satisfying trip. It was very convenient to get to several places from here.

This hotel is in a super convenient location, very close to the subway exit. It's also really quiet, and there are plenty of dining options nearby like Yoshinoya, McDonald's, and three Japanese restaurants, all at reasonable prices. Plus, there's a 24-hour supermarket just around the corner. Inside the hotel, the restrooms, showers, and hallways are all very warm and comfortable, thanks to the good...

First hotel once touched down in Osaka. It was great as they allow early check in which is so so grateful and thankful for after a long flight due to long layover time. The staff is friendly and nice. But there’s one disturbing thing is every morning around 7/8/9 am, there will be door banging constantly and I assumed it’s the cleaning process which need to open some kind of room constantly. It was...

The room was very small, but as a solo traveller you only need a bed and toilet. They have a kitchen area for if you are bringing any kombini foods back to the hotel which was useful. The staff was very friendly when checking in and I was able to use their coin locker after check out. The location of the hotel is the best part, walking distance to central and there is a metro station right around the...

Nice room at a convenient location near train station and many eating options! Great for short stay

Everything felt great! There were a lot of international travelers around, I assume. I stumbled into a street full of Izakayas while looking for a place to eat – it was quite novel. I might not have adapted well to that street in an unfamiliar environment, but overall, it was excellent! It's very close to Dobutsuen-mae Station, the room was clean, and there was enough space for luggage. Just a heads...

The room is small but enough for one person. The surrounding transportation is convenient. The soundproofing is average; once I could hear snoring from the next room at night. The Wi-Fi signal is unstable. Housekeeping is provided once for a four-day continuous stay.

Excellent! It's clean, and the service is great. Plus, it includes breakfast, which is better than some other places. Definitely good value for money! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Location is perfect if you're going to take bus, train or subway mainly. Single room is very small. Hotel currently under construction and so quite noisy

Very close to the station, very convenient. The Room is also standard, clean, but quite dark

This location very close to Hakata station. There are close to Mini Mart just walked by a couple block. This hotel is quiet, peaceful I sleep very well and economy COST .

Very good location (Very near Hakata station), Nice & Clean hotel Near 7-11 but the room is quite small. Good service.

Good location, just few minute walk from Hakata station. Affordable price with basic needs for 2 days stay. Highly recommend

Breakfast is good, but room is slightly small, can't fully open a big luggage.

While the facilities were a little old, they seemed well-maintained and I didn't find it uncomfortable. The air conditioning wasn't individual to each room, but rather a central heating system that vented from the walls, so it was warm enough even though I stayed there in the middle of winter. It was easy to control the temperature - off, low, medium, and high - which was great. There was also an...

When I entered the smoking room, there was a slight smell, but I had Febreze and put curtains and carpets on and it didn't bother me. I guess the reason they charge for breakfast is because they can't compete with the big companies.

I stayed here for work. The room was average, but I was attracted by the reasonable price and the fact that breakfast was only 390 yen. In fact, for just 390 yen, you get all-you-can-eat ochazuke! The ingredients were plentiful, so I ended up eating three bowls. 😋 I was very satisfied.

Near the station. Breakfast included. Economical, affordable, and convenient.

Cheap and good quality breakfast

Some rooms were newer than others, but the amenities were comfortable and I was satisfied. The design and functionality of the pillows being able to be used as backrest cushions are a great plus.
