"After a couple weeks of typical small business hotel rooms in Japan, I was surprised to find a spacious single room waiting after check in. Excellent location as well, steps from the station entrance (can even walk inside, although it’s a bit of a maze through a shopping mall)"

"Clean hotel. Clean properly. Attentive staff. Would recommend if staying in Akita again. "

"I booked this hotel at a pretty good value. I wasn't expecting much, but if this was the price range of Daiwa hotels in other Prefectures, and if the quality is consistent then I'd definitely keep booking! First of all, the hotel seems pretty new, or at least recently renovated. Interiors are modern & up to date. Staff are friendly & helpful. The rooms is slightly larger than a typical Japanese business hotel. This is especially evident in the bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower & bath area, a large sink and a fancy Toto toilet. The bed is slightly bigger, too. It seems like a full double with 2 pillows, and even has a small lounge & table (aside from the vanity). It also has a trouser press installed. The public spa area was one of the biggest I've been to. While I don't think it was a natural spring, the sento was large, lockers were plentiful, and the sauna can fit maybe 6 people at a time. They have the laundry area in the baths so you can do it while you soak. Otherwise, there's also a fancy massage chair you can use. "

"Excellent location. This is a small hotel surrounded by restaurants, cafés, etc. As it was a tatami room, I was expecting the possibility of musky odor, but thankfully there was none! 😊 Room was just right for 3 people max. The futon was soft & comfy & warm despite the crazy Akita winter (personally it was too warm, I was sweating. 😂) The only con is, because we left the window slightly ajar for air flow, we could hear the very loud & obnoxious laugh from another guest's room (I think?) which was parallel to our windows. It went on from 12~2am. Not exactly their fault & we were too sleepy to complain. 😂 "

"Room is super nice."

"Easy check in, polite staff, and because its location is at the station, everything is easy to access. Nice spot. "

"Love Dormy."

"Hotel is clean. Parking Convenient. "

"Quite a nice stay at Guesthouse Fuga. The lady owner is lovely and the included breakfast was good too. Twin room with air con quite spacious and there is a desk and chair, a couple of coathangers. Just me but if you had 2 people sharing- 1 person gets a bed, the other person gets a fold out bed. I slept fine and area very quiet. A parking spot at the front door is excellent. All rooms are upstairs so you need to be able to walk up about 15 stairs. 1 toilet and 1 washbasin upstairs but I didn't have to wait. The reason I gave it 4 stars is the shower has to be accessed by going outside the front door into a shed. Ok in mild weather as now but would not good in the winter. Towels have to be hired for 200y as at hostels. As always if you get a noisy person, they can be heard in other rooms so I had to ask a lady to be quiet at 630am. Easy walk to samurai street and restaurants. Take a torch if you go out at night as street lighting not very good."
