9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (8 reviews)
"ホテルの場所が路地の中なので、わかりにくかったです。駅からすぐ近くだったので、移動にはとても便利でした。ですが、繁華街の中にあるホテルなので、夜中外の人の騒ぐ声が聞こえました。ホテルの壁も薄く、廊下で歩く人の声は筒抜けです。バスルームはシャワーとトイレが一緒ですが、シャワーを浴びると床が全部ビシャビシャに濡れてしまうのでトイレに行くのが大変でした。ホテルの部屋はきれいだったのですが、滞在中清掃に入った様子はありましたが、シーツ交換とゴミの回収のみで床はそのままで埃や髪の毛がそのままでした。しかしホテルの方の対応はとても良く、少しの日本語も通じます。(^^) ヘアアイロンを無料で貸してもらったり、荷物はチェックアウト後も預かってくれたりととても助かりました。"
