The location is another major highlight. It’s in a prime spot, within easy walking dist...

The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. They offer great amenities like a lounge with complimentary refreshments and wine. Convenient location, plus laundry service and umbrellas to use during our stay. The Japanese breakfast was super impressive.

The staff was very friendly, the check in was easy and everyone we interacted with were attentiv...

The room was spacious (by Japanese standards), clean, with a very comfortable bed and a Nespresso mac...

Rooms are spacious and nice. I like that they have a lounge area with free drinks and snacks that you can hang out at. Decent view from the rooms, and they have a gym though I didn’t use it. Like most hotels in Ja...
