Un acierto de alojamiento para conocer Kashi
Pros:

Muy buena localización (accesible al llegar a la ciudad y puedes ir caminando a cualquier lugar pero no está en todo el meollo del centro). El personal atento y disponible a ayudar. El patio interior nos resultó muy agradable.

Cons:

Las habitaciones no están muy bien insonorizadas, así que recomiendo llevar tapones para dormir.

とても充実した旅になりました。
Pros:

ガヤガヤとしたメインストリートから一本入ったところで観光のアクセスがよい。他の施設と比べて清潔感がある。チェックイン時のおもてなしが楽しい。

Cons:

施設のせいではないが、メインストリートが近いため深夜でもクラクションの音が聞こえる。

Un écrin au plus près des ghats
Pros:

Outre une demeure de charme, centrale mais calme, le personnel fait preuve d'une rare prévenance (au delà de la simple nuitée) .
PS : Ne manquez pas les diners aux restaurants qui sont servis avec une divine musique !

In addition to a charming residence, central but quiet, the staff shows a rare thoughtfulness (beyond the simple night
PS: Don't miss the dinners at the restaurants that are with music!
