3U NAMBA MINAMI - DOYANEN HOTELS
The location of the hotel was amazing. What wasn't good about this stay was that there were a lot of loud speaking on the floor, and the staff isn't there all the time to be able to ask the other guests to be quiet past midnight

Small, quaint and professional. Great rooms on a budget, the showers could use some cleaning though (not a deal breaker)
