Très bel hôtel bien situé mais sans aucune lumière naturelle pour les chambres
Pros:

L’emplacement géographique
Le calme et la proximité au métro
Le personnel attentif

Cons:

Chambre en rdc sans aucune luminosité. On vivait dans le noir en permanence car aucune lumière directe. Pour 6 nuitées dans l’établissement il aurait été opportun d’avoir une chambre avec lumière naturelle.
L’hôtel ne propose ni service de restauration ni onsen. C’est dommage mais le quartier offre beaucoup de commodités.

文句ないです。

金額が安かったので期待してなかったのですが、雰囲気も悪くなく、値段以上の快適さでした。バスとトイレが別なのは落ち着きます。

Cons:

ツインの部屋だったのですが、ドアを開けたら目の前がベッド、というのはちょっとびっくりしました。
