Great location

Great location with Maruyama Par just across the road and walking distance to most places. The hotel provided a free breakfast that was a pleasant surprise. There was a problem with my booking and the lady on reception took a lot of effort to sort it out for me.

観光地に近いのは良かった。けど入り口の案内が分かりにくい。受付のスタッフの笑顔がなく、残念。部屋は値段もあり、狭く小さくてもソファがあると良かった。お風呂も綺麗だが狭かった。

Trevlig personal, bra område, stort rum, badrum var lite väl litet. Trevlig frukost som överträffar förväntningarna.
