Overrated
Pros:

Located close to the Diplomatic Quarter.

Cons:

A low grade 4 stars would be an exaggeration. Needs renovation, quieter AC in the rooms.

自分の予定に会った最高の選択肢だったと思います。
Pros:

ホテルの近くに用事があり、何よりも自分にとって場所が便利でした。
ホテルの従業員の方々の応対はとてもよく気持ちよく過ごせました。

Cons:

ホテルは少々古い印象を受けました。
シャワーが夜遅く利用したためか、お湯があまり出なかったが外出先でシャワーを浴びて帰ることが多かったので困らなかった。ホテルで毎日シャワーを浴びるのであれば、ホテルのスタッフに対応してもらっていたと思います。

I usually choose this hotel because it is well located and the staff is friendly.

Cons:

This time, I stayed in the room 201 (bit small, no view, small bed), the a/c was noisy throughout the night ... and it was impossible to do without it !
