Agréable, moderne et spatieux
Pros:

« Hebergement Spacieux Tatami » :
Le logement est spacieux et agréable. Des linges propres sont à disposition si besoin ce qui est appréciable. Il est situé à 5 minutes à pied d’un arrêt de bus. Il n’y a pas de clé mais un système de code. Je recommande!

Cons:

Quelques petits coins pas nettoyés (mais pas problématique pour autant)

Pros:

The self service is a great option (common in the EU). Sustainable amenities are a bonus and the luggage storage is appreciated.

Cons:

The trash bin is quite small for the group. The shower does not have a stool to sit and there is not many places to hang towels or hooks for clothes.

Lovely, quiet and clean, loved the traditional Japanese feel. Close to everything.
Pros:

Great stay for a family of four. Facility and room were very modern and clean.Room was quite large, self serve carts were great and really handy to have. Great location close to everything. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Gave extra linen (Im a cold frog!) when requested. Definitely recommend

Cons:

loved It all. the only thing is there no laundry facility on site but not a big drama as there are a couple of these not far from Wayfarer

Pros:

Very clean, in a good area just a small walk from the main shopping street. Staff are friendly and very accommodating, asked for a softer pillow for me and they provided. I appreciate that the TV had Netflix and YouTube as well
