おススメ!
Pros:

駅正面、左手にあります。隣のビルは郵便局です。1階がフロントで、2階から4階がデパートになっており、5階から9階までが客室、10階がレストランで、このレストランが朝食会場でした。朝からすばらしい景色を見ながらおいしい朝食が食べられ、幸せな気持ちになります。品数も豊富でどれもおいしい!客室はとても清潔感があり、居心地がよかったです。一人旅の日本人女性も多くみられました。それくらい安心して泊まれるホテルなのだと思います。カンピ駅もすぐ近くだったので、高速バスのターミナルに近いことも大きな魅力です。また、周りにはSスーパーやKスーパーもあり、ご飯やパン、お土産を買うこともでき、旅行者としてありがたかったです。おススメです!

Cons:

街の中が賑やかなので、ホテルの入り口が雑踏に埋もれてしましまい、少々見つけにくかった。旗をさすなどし、「ここが入り口です」と入り口を主張してほしいかな・・・。

Great location, close to numerous interest places. The room with a balcony made it excellent.
Pros:

Friendly staff who wanted to do everything to make the stay as comfortable as possible.
We got a great room upgrade for the second night, to make up for the inconvenience of having to switch rooms.

Cons:

We had to change rooms due to renovations and a double booking, which disrupted the schedule of the stay a little. But the friendly staff made up for it.

Pros:

Great location

Cons:

The rooms are stuffy. There's a smell of old carperts and cigarettes. The windows don't open in the entire hotel. Apparently a safety feature
