Service and room was excellent! We had originally booked 3 nights in a room with tatami mats, but after our arrival, we realized it was not for us and we had made a mistake. We asked the hotel staff if we could switch to a room with a bed for the remainder of the stay and they were so generous to accommodate the request.
Breakfast each morning was excellent and this is the perfect location to explore the West Central District by foot. Great food and drink options all in walking distance. Highly recommended!

唯一沒中不足
雙人床的床板不穩~
起身或下床/翻身都出聲音很吵

The hotel itself is very cute. Room is simply decorated but has all you need. Breakfast is delicious - we had 3 out of the 4 options and all were good. You do need to select specific time for breakfast as the space is limited. Hotel location is convenient and easy access to most places. Only downside is the water pressure for shower was a bit weak.

Hotel is clean, charming, and centrally located. Staff are friendly and helpful! Breakfasts were excellent. Would very happily stay again.
Hotel was within walking distance to a number of city attractions. We enjoyed the breakfast (5 options) which was included in the cost. Room was clean and spacious. Good service by the hotel staff.
