Pros:

Очень удачное расположение, рядом со старым городом. До АртБазеля на трамвае 10-15 мин.
Прекрасный дзен-садик внутри гостиницы, там же вкусный завтрак. Вечером можно пить чай, вино в саду.
Небольшая но всем оснащенная комната (как в Японии). Лучше вид на сад. Персонал домашний, очень внимательный ко всем мелочам! После долгого рабочего дня возвращаешься как домой!
