The hotel is in a convenient location near healthy cafes. The rooms are comfortable, but lacking in shared bathrooms in the hall. The staff tries to communicate well, yet can improve customer service. The dining options are limited to sushi only. The price is reasonable for the value provided.

The hotel is in a convenient location, close to the city center, and in a safe area. The rooms are comfortable, with shared bathrooms available like the ones shown in the website photos. The customer service, although friendly, could improve communication with the manager. The dining experience offers regional jams, and the hotel is in a lovely workout area. However, there is a paid shuttle service for which the price should be considered.
