Pros:

Localisation à côté du métro, hôtel de très bon standing.

Cons:

Lit trop mou à notre goût, on a vraiment pas bien dormi malgré le cadre très sympa de l’hôtel.

Des moustiques dans les parties communes (réception, bar)

Excelente estancia
Pros:

Situación, en el centro histórico. Andando del bullicio a apenas 10’. Servicio excelente, impecable. Habitaciones increíbles (premium). Muy buen desayuno (amplio horario).

Cons:

Gimnasio muy muy pequeño. Insuficiente para un hotel de esta categoría.

Highly recommend - location, staff, service, room, amenities
Pros:

We recommend this hotel. Staff was polite and helpful. Rooms and amenities were clean and nice. Walking distance to the river, shops, restaurants and train station. Across the road is Choice, a vegan restaurant. Water and coffee stations at the lobby level, and also in the room. We did not opt for breakfast (vegan family, and options are limited - as per the online feedback). We requested and got adjoining rooms (facing the backside, will suggest to request for roadside).

Cons:

Not sure what to say:), ok, it's not inexpensive. Another one, beds are soft, if one is not comfortable with that.

Pros:

Personeel is heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam, maar dat is gebruikelijk in Japan. De locatie is perfect! Bedden zijn goed en comfortabel.
Vanuit hier ben je zo bij een station, winkels en andere toeristische attracties.

Cons:

Het ontbijt is voldoende maar niet super uitgebreid. Het is westers gecombineerd met oosters. Je hebt wel wat keuze maar verwacht geen "van der valk ontbijt" qua keuzes.
