I just had an amazing stay at this hotel! The traditional Japanese feel of the rooms was so charming and the service was top-notch, especially with the lovely traditional Japanese maids. The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet neighborhood yet just a short walk from the underground station. The dining experience left me delighted, especially with the tea served afterwards. However, the price could be a bit steep for some, but the overall experience was totally worth it.
The hotel offers a wonderful balance of traditional Japanese style rooms with modern amenities. The service provided by the traditional Japanese maids is exceptional, offering a true 5-star experience. The quiet location in a nice area, close to the underground station, adds to the charm of this residential gem. The dining experience, although included, could have been more varied. Despite some minor downsides, the facilities are top-notch and well-maintained.
I had a wonderful stay at this traditional Japanese Ryokan. The rooms exuded a traditionally Japanese feel, but there were some minor drawbacks. The service was top-notch and truly gave me a 5-star experience, especially with the attentive traditional Japanese maids. The location was peaceful in a residential area but still close enough to the underground station. The dining experience was delightful, with Spanish dishes served, but there were some limitations. Overall, a lovely stay with a few things to consider.
