Business Hotel la Firenze

The hotel is about 10 minutes' walk from Yatsuka station on a main road. The building is older, but the large rooms are well-maintained, clean and the bed is comfortable. Breakfast is simple, you either have 2 slices of toast with butter and jam or 2 rice balls with the small salad plate, taking rice and toast is not permitted, the lady at breakfast keeps a close eye on this. Unlimited coffee from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. The hotel rents out a bike, a mamachari without gears. It works well though, I cycled 50 km through Tokyo on it. There are various supermarkets around the hotel within 5-10 minutes. There are also restaurants, a little further away there are several izakayas and in the BellX Mall there is a Saizerya restaurant with cheap Italian food. The staff at reception are very nice and helpful, the lady at breakfast only speaks to Asian-looking guests. Good for one night, but if you want to stay longer you should note: All the windows in the hotel have a fixed privacy screen, you can only see out through a small gap at the top and bottom. The elevated road to Tokyo is within earshot, and the noise is hard to block out even with earplugs. If you can only sleep with the window open you have a problem. The air conditioning in the room hums very loudly all the time, I didn't use it, not even for heating. I didn't use it.

The room and bathroom were spacious and comfortable. There's also a convenience store nearby, which is very convenient.
