"La chambre typiquement japonaise avec vue sur un petit jardin était une belle expérience en soi. Nous y sommes demeuré deux nuits, c’était parfait car l’endroit est assez rudimentaire. Point de vue propreté, un peu poussiéreux mais les draps très propres. Un très gros avantage est la localisation. Rapport qualité/prix excellent."
