WiFiが繋がりにくいのは少し残念。またエレベーターもエアコンが効いているともっと良いかなと思います。

Calidad - precio imbatible pero con "riesgos"
Pros:

Que ofrecen desayuno y cena, aunque sea muy repetitivo. Tienes opción de usar lavandería y baño tipo onsen en la planta inferior aunque yo no lo utilicé. También te ofrecen la posibilidad de hacerte descuento en la tasa turística si no quieres que te hagan limpieza a diario. De todos modos siempre te cambian las toallas y la basura.
Hay algunos empleados en recepción muy simpáticos y que hacen todo para ayudarte.

Cons:

Había una empleada de la zona de desayuno y cena que era un poco borde. Me pidió de forma irrespetuosa el ticket de la cena cuando ya lo había dejado en el sitio donde todo el mundo lo deja. Pero si no hay nadie controlando ¿Cómo saben quién lo deja o no? ¿Me lo pidió solo a mí por ser extranjero? No lo sé, pero no me gustó.
Además, en la segunda planta una noche vi una rata enorme, y si hay una, hay más. Lo comuniqué en recepción pero les debió dar igual.

大変満足できる宿泊でした
Pros:

朝食も夕食も付いていてこの値段はびっくりとてもお得で最高でした
おまけに大浴場も完備で大変リラックスできました

Cons:

設備施設の関係で仕方がないのかもしれませんがエレベーターを降りて部屋に入るまでの場所が室外機がいっぱいで暑すぎました
何か改善策が考えられると良いなと思いました
それと、部屋で有線でパソコンを利用したかったので有線は利用できますかと電話をしてお聞きした際、有線では利用できませんと言われたんですがロビーに有線接続できる場所がありました
部屋にはありませんがロビーになら利用できるところがありますと返事がいただきたかったです

Ne očekujte puno pa ćete biti zadovoljni
Pros:

Hotel i soba su uredni i čisti. S obzirom da smo imali i večeru, cijena smještaja je sasvim korektna.

Cons:

Soba je izuzetno mala. Veliki kofer se ne može otvorit nigdje osim na krevetu. U prostoriji za obroke osjećali smo se kao u menzi.
