Minato Hotel

Location, cleanliness, pleasant staff

The breakfast was delicious, generous, and was different every day!

Fabulous Breakfast Friendly and helpful stuff

Breakfast was great and unexpected. They made a full unique meal each morning that was delicious and filling. Great way to start the day. No menu, they just bring out the breakfast, so check the day before if you have dietary restrictions.

Attentive staff, great accommodations, excellent breakfast, laundry facilities on site, fresh towels daily. No issues!

Minato hotel is a small family run hotel. We were greeted by a delightful, extremely friendly and helpful staff member (son), giving us all information needed for our stay. The owner was helpful and accomodating throughout. Breakfast was “yum”, a range of breakfast foods were served, well presented and delicious. The bathroom was clean, and had good shower pressure. Would recommend this hotel and would stay again. At different times during the stay we could hear the guests in next room, however this was not a problem for us.

The room was clean, the staff was very polite and friendly and they could adapt to our needs (for example vegetarian friendly breakfast, ordering a taxi). We really liked a different breakfast every day, also that some days it was more traditional, Japanese breakfast and sometimes more western-like. All the meals were very tasty. Shower gel, shampoo and other cosmetic items were available in the room as well. There was no clear way of opening the windows.

Our stay at Minato Hotel was nothing short of lovely. The room was very clean and tidy, and there's enough space for us to sprawl out a bit. The daily breakfasts were out of this world! Everything was delicious, the portions were sizable, and you get a wide variety of types of food. Plus, it's served within moments of you coming down the stairs and sitting down, and it comes with tea or coffee. The staff was super attentive, kind, and helpful. They helped us make a reservation at a restaurant that required us to make a phone call in Japanese, they helped research options for disposing our broken suitcase, and they offered to do our laundry and folded everything up neatly - all while being super patient throughout our attempt to bridge the language gap. The location is in a quiet neighborhood about a 9min walk from Shijo, the main street with all the hustle and bustle, which we didn't mind because even within a block or so away from the main street, you couldn't hear the noise anymore, and it felt like an escape from wild city life.

Location, small and quiet. Great breakfast! Nothing

spacious room comfortable bed and pillows good shower and furniture breakfast included cold overhead lighting and noticable marks on the carpeted floor of the room ruined the first impression the mirror above the sink hanged to low, and no lamp in front of it a wall behind the window, though this is normal no service after 8pm (once I tried calling the provided phone number late evening with no success)

Excellent breakfast. Very accommodating staff. Great location. Wifi didn't really work in my room. It worked fine on the main floor area though.

It was in a great location, very clean with an amazing breakfast served everyday. The staff were lovely and friendly. The pillows were small but when we asked for extra pillows they were left in our room.

clean, giant room (for Japanese standard) and super comfortable bed. the hotel is near the main road where is the subway entrance and 10 minutes walk from the train station. the hotel offers a bike rental service. Nice and friendly staff. Everything was great, fresh breakfast, different every morning. breakfast time should start earlier

This was an amazing hotel, it was at a good location and the owner is super nice and kind. The room and bathroom was spacious for Japanese standards as well. The owner helped me with a lot of travel requests and was very hospitable. The breakfast was honestly the best breakfast I’ve had in Japan.
