Good to know
Guest rooms are reported by multiple guests to be compact with very limited in-room storage space for large suitcases — use the free lobby lockers or luggage room rather than relying on in-room space. The subway station's Exit 4 (2-minute walk) uses stairs — guests who need step-free access should use Exit 6 instead, which adds about 2 minutes to the walk. Whether the hotel itself has internal elevators to all guest floors is not explicitly stated on the official site — contact the hotel at info-gojo@hennnahotel.com if elevator access within the building is essential.
