Fantastic but check for construction
Pros:

Staff was great. Theme and video games are fun.

Cons:

Currently there is construction next door, and our room was only a few meters from nail guns all afternoon. I understand the hotel cannot control this, so hopefully will finish the project soon.

Great staff, room sizes and spec were disappointing.
Pros:

Really welcoming staff and a good location. The lobby lounge area was comfortable.

Cons:

The room size (we were 3 adults) felt mean. The room was VERY small and, for the price, very disappointing.

Lindo hotel pero habitaciones extremadamente reducidas
Pros:

La ubicación estaba muy bien, el hotel en general muy lindo

Cons:

Las habitaciones extremadamente chicas. Fuimos a una japanese room y fue una mala experiencia (totalmente incómodo). Amablemente al otro día nos cambiaron a una habitación doble pero minúscula (no se pueden abrir las valijas dentro de la habitación)

Pros:

Αυτό που μου άρεσε περισσότερο ήταν το ποσό εξυπηρετικές και ευγενικές ήταν οι κοπέλες στη ρεσεψιόν. Το ξενοδοχείο ήταν πανέμορφο και είχε τεράστια συλλογή με μάνγκα, έκθεση με έργα ζωγραφικής. Από τα πιο όμορφα ξενοδοχεία που έχουμε μείνει, σε υπέροχη τοποθεσία κοντά σε όλα.
