I sent a message expedia already wanting my money back. This hotel is not waht is advertised. Business hotel ? Yeah right. My rooms door was metal. There is no private bathroom. There is one bathroom and one shower.communal for both. Disgusting. Also they wanted to charge me for a towel lol . I literally took a shower hesitantly, and checked out . I was booked in for 3 nights. This place isnt worth mote than 5 bucks a night or they should pay you to stay there . Ive seen homeless shelters better than this dump.

Affordable nice hotel
Subway is within walking distance, it won’t take you for more than 10 minutes to get to the entrance of the subway. The hotel room itself is small but more than enough for a single person. It got a weird smell but it went away after I opened the window. Shower room is clean, you need to take the key from the reception though. Toilet is okay. Looks dirty but it is okay actually.

Its a business hotel.
Don't come to this location expecting 5 Star accommodation. Its a cheap place to sleep. Shouldn't really be looking to do more than just that when going to a business hotel. Can be difficult to find as there isn't really anything noticeable nearby.
There is a mart right down the street that you can pick up cheap bentos from. Those are always good to eat.
Make sure that you bring your own towel here (can find easily at a 100Y store in any of the main shopping areas).

I love the bath.
It was an ok stay. Nice cozy room with tv and aircondition. The best thing about this hotel is theirs public bath. If you are there definitelly try it. Its much much better than just a shower. Other than that there is a very cheap supermarket about 5 mins away. And thete is a at least 2 km long shoping street very close by.

Good enough for the price
Room was comfortable enough. The place is obviously not the newest but the bathroom and shower looked new and were very nice. There was a dead cockroach in my room when I arrived but everything else was otherwise clean. It seemed a little annoying that you have to request the key to take a shower. I also felt a little annoyed by the 'don't talk on the phone in your room after 9pm' rule since I chose a hotel specifically with private rooms because I planned to talk on the phone and the booking page didn't say anything about that. I read that the local area isn't safe but I didn't have any problems there. It was convenient enough for places I planned to go to.

Cheap hotel but FOUND BED BUGS
Considering the price, the location, cleanness and room facilities are all great and I would recommend staying here BUT we found bed bugs. It's probably no fault of the hotel on its own as it could have just been the guest before us. Until other positive reviews come through bed bug free, I'd avoid staying here.

OK for backpackers on budget
I found that, his place is used as some sort of homeless shelter for someone on welfare checks.
This hotel is located in the middle of trashy part of town with full of homeless partying day and night on the streets nearby.
Several minutes walk to nearest train stations through street full of trashy day workers and mentally ill people.
Bed sheets are changed once or less a week. Room needs to be cleaned by passenger himself.
Bugs are found here and there at times and rolls of newspapers could become quite handy.
Some hotel staff are kind, though some staff could be quite nasty and mean.
Good enough for some place to crush in, after a day long hiking.
The place provides a good enough privacy compare to a sleeping cubicle at some capsule sauna.
Good price for someone who wants to save on place to stay and wants to spend money on food and sight seeing.

Nice for backpackers and solo travelers.
My stay at Hotel Wako is very pleasant and I recommended to especially solo travelers and backpackers. The staff very nice. It just that you have to share the shower room but believe me, the shower room is very nice and clean.

First choice of low budget Hotel
As this price, what will you expect? It is the first choice of low budget hotel. It has air condition, TV and fridge in your room. Although it has time control in the shower room, it is clean and tidy. (It is closed at 00:00 daily.)
