Hôtel bien situé

Emplacement parfait! Nous avions réservé 2 chambres connectées avec mes enfants et l'espace était très bien. Les chambres sont propres mais pas très bien entretenues (on y trouve parfois de petites taches sur les murs ou têtes de lits qui ne partent pas car nous avons fait le test de nettoyer). Beaucoup de variété au petit-déjeuner (surtout japonais) mais ce n’est pas très chaud. À refaire je choisirais encore cet hôtel pour son emplacement. Le personnel est très gentil.

深夜近くにチェックインしたにもかかわらずフロントの方はとても感じが良く安心できました。部屋も清潔でアメニティが充実しており良かったです。 ただ浴室がかなり狭かったのと朝方浴室から下水のようなにおいがして少し驚きました。(祇園あるあるらしいですが) 立地はとても良くコスパは良かったです。また利用したいです。

Great location and the staff are super helpful and kind. The hotel itself needs lots of loving and remodeling. There were stains on the wall and carpet. Part of the wall paper were coming off in the hallway.
