Hôtel style Ryokan 5 étoiles - à recommander!
Pros:

Les chambres ont un style japonais proches des Ryokans. La salle de bain était très bien équipée. L’accès à la chambre était aussi dans le thème. Les espaces communes étaient très propres et superbement bien décorés. Des eaux infusées était à disposition gratuitement ainsi qu’un spray d’eau parfumée pour les chambres et le lit. La localisation était idéale (à proximité d’une station de métro, arrêts de bus et d’un Family Mart, McDonald’s et autre restaurant). Le quartier est calme et agréable. Le personnel était très attentif et aux petits soins. Les wc sont incroyables (lunette chauffante, et jet réglable pour se le laver le … enfin voilà ce sont des toilettes japonaises!

Cons:

La salle de bain n’est pas directement dans la chambre mais juste à l’entrée de celle-ci. Il faut penser systématiquement à prendre sa carte-clé pour revenir dans la chambre après une douche ou un passage aux wc. La vue n’est pas terrible mais ce n’était pas gênant.

Baixo custo benefício
Pros:

Staff super cordial e localização muito boa. O banheiro também achei muito bom com um box de chuveiro integrado com ducha e banheira numa espécie de “sala”

Cons:

Achei a relação custo benefício fraca, pois o hotel com a qualificação de botique, tem uma arquitetura linda, porém achei surper limitado em serviços e fiquei em um quarto praticamente sem janela, era um vitro aberto para um vão entre prédios, a cama não achei muito confortável e as toalhas de baixa qualidade. Para o que entregou, eu buscaria na minha próxima viagem um hotel de rede mais barato, ja que entregam o mesmo por um menor preço.

Great stay with lovely staff super helpful
Pros:

Nice modern hotel with everything you need great Location with easy transport to the station and other locations. Rooms are very comfortable and clean all the facilities you could need.

Cons:

The roof terrace would be lovely a little bit more shade and it’s an empty in comparison to the rest of the hotels nice aesthetic. Somewhere to get water on the floor other than the ground floor would be good as well.

以乾淨程度是很棒的，飯店前提有告知廁所和房間分開，但確實蠻不方便的，尤其是廁所的門是厚重的不好開，如果半夢半醒去廁所還要出力開門，應該很難再睡回去🙂
Pros:

有飲料吧檯，和舒適的交流廳

Cons:

雖然入住前飯店有告知廁所跟房間分開，但沒想到廁所的門也是厚重的，上廁所不方便連打開門都不方便，不確定其他房間是否也是這樣設計，覺得整體設計可以再加強，不然住起來的品質真的不是很好。
