Negative Reviews
Chambres parfois petites ou rudimentaires
Certaines chambres sont jugées un peu petites pour plusieurs personnes, ou plus simples que les suites, méritant parfois un rafraîchissement.
Établissement vieillissant par endroits
Quelques visiteurs mentionnent que certaines installations ou équipements pourraient bénéficier d’une rénovation, bien que cela n’enlève pas au charme général.
Propreté perfectible dans certains cas
Des commentaires signalent parfois des taches sur les tatamis, du papier peint abîmé ou des chambres qui pourraient être mieux entretenues.
Bruit et isolation phonique limitée
Le bruit de la route, la climatisation bruyante ou une isolation phonique peu efficace peuvent gêner le repos de certains clients.
Futon et literie inhabituels
Dormir sur des futons traditionnels peut surprendre ou ne pas convenir à tous les voyageurs, surtout ceux qui n’y sont pas habitués.
Quartier un peu excentré
Le quartier est très beau et calme, mais il peut sembler un peu éloigné des quartiers très touristiques, ce qui peut nécessiter un moyen de transport.
