the room felt generous and included a small couch perfect. i liked how quiet it was. its central location put me in the heart of the tourist area, yet the hotel maintained a sense of tranquility. the tatami area featured easy to move tables and a sofa, i found it easy to arrange the space for luggage.
My room faced the street. The early morning birds did wake me up around 4 or 5 am each day
