Reviews and Ratings
I found this hotel to be a mixed bag. While the rooms were small but perfect for light travelers like me, clean, comfortable, and functional, the location was not as great as I expected. It's surrounded by restaurants and shops, which is convenient, but a bit awkward for those relying on public transport. The service was friendly and attentive overall, though a bit late in responding to specific queries. The dining experience was awesome, offering a range of Japanese, Chinese, and European selections. Despite some drawbacks, the value for money was decent.
