カフェとして見つけてホテルとして利用しましたが、予約のミスをしてしまったのにも関わらず、迅速で丁寧な対応をしていただき、設備なども綺麗で大変満足致しました。 オススメの場所です。 次回はカフェとしても利用したいと思っています。 --- I discovered this place as a café but used it as a hotel. Despite a mistake with my reservation, the staff responded quickly and courteously. The facilities were clean, and I was very satisfied. I highly recommend this place. Next time, I would like to use it as a café as well.

安価で清潔
概ね清潔で、満足です。 フロアの移動は狭い階段のみで、荷物が大変でしたが、スタッフの方に手伝っていただき助かりました。 快適さは、同時に利用している方々のモラルによるところが大きいかもしれません。 スリッパの散乱などは見受けられましたが、夜も静かに快適に過ごせました。
