Very polite and friendly hotel staff helped us in every situation.The rooms are small, clean and useful. The location of the hotel is very good, 150 m from the metro stop. Many places you would like to visit in the city center are within walking distance. We left the hotel very satisfied, thank you.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The hotel staff were polite and very welcoming. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. However, the hotel is located in a small alley, so it’s a bit of a walk to the nearest subway and bus stops, as well as to the closest convenience store. The in-room amenities were limited—basic items were provided, but there were no more detailed touches such as hair ties, a comb, or bath salts. The coffee in the lobby wasn’t very good, and there were no other welcome drinks available. Additionally, the refrigerator in the room did not have a freezer function, so it wasn’t possible to store ice cream. Overall, it is a comfortable hotel that meets basic needs. Thank you for the hospitality.

Compact room but great use of the space. I appreciated the mini fridge, slippers and night gown that were free to use with the room. There was also a microwave in the lobby along with free coffee. I communicated just fine with the staff in English, they were accommodating for storing luggage early before checkin. The lobby was nicely decorated. I love the giant stone/moss ball.

受験で利用したのですが、学校までのアクセスを相談したところ、スタッフの方が大変親身に対応してくださいました。激励の言葉もいただき、とても気持ちの支えになりました。単なる事務的な対応ではなく、困っている私達の気持ちに寄り添ってくださる姿勢に感動しました。ありがとうございました。 朝食会場のスタッフの方も気持ちの込もった対応をしていただき、朝の力になりました。 １つ残念だったのは、お掃除が大雑把だったことです。例えば、結構減っていたトイレットペーパーの補充ができてなかったり、コップ類が新しい物になってなかったり‥もう少し仕上がりを確認していただけたら良いと思いした。
