Cool area but the room was not matching the photos
Pros:

Good area

Cons:

There were bed bugs in our bed as i woke up with like 10 red spots itching, when i asked the staff about it they said they gonna clean the room next day, its unacceptable protocol for possible bed bugs.. also on the photos the room looked bright, when in reality its a dark little hole, also there was no toilet brush

Très bel hôtel bien situé mais sans aucune lumière naturelle pour les chambres
Pros:

L’emplacement géographique
Le calme et la proximité au métro
Le personnel attentif

Cons:

Chambre en rdc sans aucune luminosité. On vivait dans le noir en permanence car aucune lumière directe. Pour 6 nuitées dans l’établissement il aurait été opportun d’avoir une chambre avec lumière naturelle.
L’hôtel ne propose ni service de restauration ni onsen. C’est dommage mais le quartier offre beaucoup de commodités.
