Hotel New Shohei

Too many rules. No flexibility at all when it comes to check in/out times. Examples of rules: Not meeting friends or guests at the rooms. Key must be kept at the reception every time you leave the hotel. This is a first for me and I really don't understand the rational. Once I went to the convenience store around the corner and brought the key with me. The receptionist went after me to tell me that weren't the rules. It would have been better to tell me upfront because I would never have booked it. Another point is that no one in the hotel spoke English at an acceptable level. They relief on poor quality translator devices. There were major noises during the night. The air-conditioning couldn't be turned off and the Minibar Made really random loud noises. I had to wear ear plugs. For this I would have stayed at a hostel for 1/4 of the price.
