Fantastic hotel within 15 minutes walking of Gyon and main street
Pros:

Awesome hotel, everything looks very new, the rooms are extremely spacious, stylish and comfortable compared to other Japanese hotels. Staff was nice and I liked the location because it is in a very quiet street, but the main street and Gyon are 10-15 minutes away. A SevenEleven around the corner and plenty of great restaurants within 5-10 minutes walking distance.

Cons:

The only disappointment was breakfast. We booked with breakfast, but there is no buffet. And although the quality of the breakfast is good, you get everyday (5 days) the same toast with some greenleaf salad, a jam. There are other options but you have to pay extra to ham and cheese on your toast, which is really unnecessary. Either don’t serve breakfast or offer a breakfast option that matches the level of the hotel itself. Otherwise the hotel was really great.

Pros:

-il est assez bien situé, à environ 8 minutes d’une rue principale
-la chambre est spacieuse

Cons:

-Vue sur un mur directement collé à la fenêtre, donc pas de luminosité naturelle pour moi c’est un grand no go, je ne m’attendais pas à ça
-salle de bain très petite
-pas de rangement pour les habits mais ça a l’air normal au Japon…

Pros:

Genial l’esmorzar i la casa on s’esmorza!

Cons:

El problema va ser la habitació reservada inicialment, que era petita, en PB i sense finestres! Però de seguida ens van oferir una habitació al pis 3 que va complir les expectatives, pagant això si una quantitat extra!

Pros:

Fantastic, friendly, accommodating staff. Great location. Very clean room, very comfortable and safe.

Cons:

Only two laundry machines - if you need to do laundry, best to start early in the day because the cycles on these machines take hours and they appeared to be in use at all times. My room was on the 1st floor directly next to the elevator and it was quite loud in the evening due to other guests talking while waiting for the elevator. I asked to switch rooms and they were unable to accommodate this request. However, they did give me a complimentary late check-out to compensate.

Traditionell japanisch übernachten
Pros:

Wir hatten uns für ein traditionell japanisches Zimmer entschieden, ein bisschen gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber alles war sehr nett und ordentlich. Freundlicher Empfang, Kaffee und Tee gratis im Zimmer oder am Empfang. Liegt ruhig, aber in wenigen Gehminuten gibt es viele Möglichkeiten für den kleinen Einkauf und eine breite Restaurantauswahl. Wir hatten das Frühstücksupgrade, das im Nachbargebäude serviert wird. Es handelt sich hierbei um einen Geheimtipp unter Touristen, da man hier ein japanisches Frühstück erhalten kann. Dementsprechend kann es auch sein, dass es eine Wartezeit gibt oder das japanische Frühstück weg ist. Grundsätzlich gab es nur die Auswahl zwischen japanisch (Suppe, Ente, Reis uw.) oder westlich, ein feste Zusammensetzung aus Panini, Shake, Granola und Salat. Für Leute, die hier mehrere Tage verbringen, ist das leider schnell eintönig, auch wenn das Frühstück selbst sehr lecker war und das Ambiente sehr nett.

Cons:

Wenig Auswahl beim Frühstück.

Nice stay
Pros:

Loved the location— right near the main things but tucked away off the beaten path. The exterior of the hotel is beautiful and it felt nice to walk into every day!

Cons:

They monitor the air con and heat. As a westerner, it’s very hard to be sleeping in an 80 degree room— we like ac! Or simply like to have control of the air temperature. I couldn’t sleep in the same bed as my husband bc we were simply too hot. I opted for the couch at times and when I asked if they could lower it, they couldn’t and/or said they could but then never did etc. Additionally the rooms are a bit dark and a little muggy at times (after taking a shower in combo with the steam and heat, yikes!).

bien placé dans une belle ruelle au calme!
Pros:

L'emplacement est parfait ! Au calme ! Plein de restaurants autour...La chambre était confortable pour 3 personnes - la petite kitchenette -

Cons:

Dommage, l'établissement est très occidentalisé - pas de chaussons pour les toilettes - pas de palier pour enlever ses chaussures...
