Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a lovely balcony in the room, but the obstructed view from the small bedroom window was a real downside. The room was equipped with a handy mini-fridge and microwave, offering some convenience, but the obstructed partial view was quite disappointing.
The hotel is located in a prime area, with obstructed partial views from small windows in the bedrooms being a downside, but the balconies offer great views. The service provided in terms of hospitality and customer service is commendable, and the location is convenient for accessing local areas. The dining experience is limited to chocolate croissants only, and the facilities are adequate.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was comfortable and clean, but the obstructed partial view from a small window in the bedroom was a bit disappointing. The service was good, with various amenities available, although the paid city shuttle service seemed overpriced. The location was excellent, right on North Beach, making it convenient to access nearby attractions. The Japanese dining experience was a highlight, offering delicious meals. The facilities were well-maintained but lacked a bit of variety.
