Hatago COEDOYA

Great location within the area. No expectations at first, but it was a nice place and the rooms were pretty clean! It's near the tourist center of Kawagoe which is Little Edo!

You can take a bus from Kawagoe station to stop outside the shrine. Or simply walked bet' 600m to 1 km from the 2 train stations. Organic toiletries being supplied for use in Shared (split between genders) bath room. Big food court at ground level. However, as all were closed upon my arrival around 8pm, I went to Life Kitchen for late meal - it was superb! Coin based laundry service is available. Less than 400m walk to stretch of shops open at/after 10am, and mostly closed by 6pm.

Shared bath room; very clean like new, using organic products, no weird chemical smell. Crews were all friendly & helpful. Self help laundry service is at level 4, where you can rest & do some reading/eating. There is a bus stop just ~100m m away from this hotel that goes to Kawagoe Station. If you want to do modern shopping, other than the streets in ths old town. The tourists' streets basically get very active after 10am. But most shops closed by /before 6pm. As i arrived late for check in, the food court at ground lobby were closed. I went across the restaurant just 30-50 m away; Life Kitchen, I think was the name- the food was really great! Heavenly smell egg omelette with beef rice. Very good location, surrounded with many good restaurants.

The private rooms are fine, but if you stay in the dormitory, you can barely do anything at all. I wouldn't recommend it—even if you only plan to use it for sleeping.

I stayed on a weekday in the female dormitory, and there was no one else in the room with me, which was great! The location is right by a lot of the tourist attractions, although a bit of a walk from the station, so be prepared.
