水圧が弱い…。
Pros:

鍵は所謂昔ながらの鍵で、鍵をさすと部屋の電気が着くシステムでした。
ちょっと外に出る時にテレビやエアコン等も消えることなく部屋に戻っても暖かいので助かりました。

Cons:

お風呂の水圧がとても低く、お風呂をためたりシャワーを浴びたりする時に不便さを感じました。

非常適合獨旅的人投宿，若要與友同行貨和家人共行也沒有問題。
Pros:

位置四通八達，是鬧中取靜的好地方，要搭地鐵、公車或單純步行，景點轉乘或喝茶小憩都近在咫尺，前往遠一點的其他城市也沒有問題。

Cons:

硬要提的話，一樓的飲水機沒有熱開水稍微不習慣，不過房間內附有熱水壺，也能解決這個問題，附近厲害的咖啡店太多了，簡直意圖使人破財前往。

Parfait !
Pros:

Très bon emplacement, chambre Très grande et confortable ! La formule petit déjeuner vaut énormément le coup, c'était super bon !

Le personnel est au top, j'avais perdu mon bagage dans le train et ils ont pu faire les démarches pour le retrouver et le faire livrer a l'hôtel !

Je recommande a 100%
