Pros:

Very cute room. Friendly helpful staff.

Cons:

Washing clothes was expensive and the dryer didn’t dry my clothes so I had to hang them in my room. I couldn’t rent a bike because I didn’t have a Japanese phone number. The internet wasn’t working well and needed to be reset.

Delusione.
Pros:

Nulla. Assolutamente. Vi prego evitate questo hotel.

Cons:

Veramente un incubo dal personale poco empatico, sempre al cellulare. Le camere sporche, una puzza insopportabile al 3 piano . Ragnatele sui muri, accessori sporchi, condizionatore attaccato con il nastro adesivo, noi eravamo affaccio strada rumoroso.

Najlepszy hotel
Pros:

Był to najlepszy nocleg jaki mieliśmy w Japonii. Obsługa bardzo miła i pomocna, pokoje niezwykle czyste, ładnie urządzone. Dużo miejsca na walizki i możliwość ich bezpłatnego przechowania przed jak i po wymeldowaniu. Łóżka chyba najwygodniejsze na jakich spaliśmy poza domem. Polecam.
