"The Solaria Hotel is centally located next to shopping hubs and sightseeing. The rooms were well laid out if not small by western standards. The building is new and clean. The staff was attentive but only marginally fluent in english which we had to navigate around. My only disappointment was that there were only Japanese TV options, no western programming. That is something that could be easily fixed in my opinion. Breakfast was very good but almost strictly Japanese, and the menu did not change from day to day. All in all a really good stay."
