Pros:

La propreté de la chambre et ses équipements. Le calme malgré les travaux extérieurs, les menuiseries ne laissaient rentrer aucun sons ! Le petit déjeuner et la gentillesse du personnel qui parle très bien anglais.

Cons:

L'emplacement qui est un peu loin des lieux touristiques (environ 30min de marches ou via un bus mais souvent bondé de monde)

Great room and worth it for the space and serenity
Pros:

The room was amazing and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We’d come from a poky room in Tokyo, so this was such a nice contrast. It’s in such a quiet and peaceful neighbourhood.

Cons:

It doubles as a pre and post natal care hospital, so there is literally a nursery in the ground floor. It’s separate and not an issue, but it was a bit weird to begin with. Breakfast was included in our room price but pretty basic and not that great. We ate out both mornings because there wasn’t enough that my kids would eat as part of the included breakfast.
