Superbe expérience

10.0

Très bon accueil, chambre spacieuse et accueillante, moment très relaxant, nous avons regretté de ne pas rester plus longtemps

Peut-être rajouter de quoi occulter les fenêtres pour le matin

Beautiful hotel with an excellent shower; a few small improvements, such as blackout curtains and a comfortable chair wo

The location Nice shower

The hotel is beautiful, and the shower was excellent. Overall, we had a pleasant stay. However, there were a few areas that could be improved. The room didn't have blackout curtains, so it became very bright early in the morning, and there wasn't a comfortable place to sit and relax. In addition, the beds weren't made until around 6:30 p.m., which felt unusually late. Addressing these small details would make the experience even better.

The room, the breakfast, the staff.

The temperature of the water in the onsen was not hot enough, just warm

I felt scammed by the overpriced hotel for one person with no compromised in part of the hotel!

3.0

Room was too expensive! Very unforgiving if accidentally made error of your reservation, booked 2 instead of 3, not to mentioned it was suppose to be a graduation present. I felt scammed since I couldn’t talked Japenesese to present my case or some compromising offer from the hotel.

Felt unfriendly towards non speaking Japanese customers!
