Negative Reviews

Accessibilité parfois difficile

L'accès peut être compliqué sans voiture, avec peu de bus dans la journée. Certains suggèrent la mise en place d'une navette depuis la gare pour plus de confort.

Choix limité pour les repas spécifiques

Le petit déjeuner japonais traditionnel ne convient pas à tout le monde, et peu d’efforts semblent avoir été faits pour les régimes végétariens, rendant le choix limité.

Quelques espaces à moderniser

Le hall d'entrée et le hall d’accueil sont jugés peu attrayants ou mériteraient une rénovation pour améliorer la première impression à l'arrivée.

Prix élevé mais justifié

Le prix du séjour est jugé très élevé, mais il est compensé par la qualité du service et des prestations haut de gamme offertes par l’établissement.

Efficacité des équipements à améliorer

Certains équipements comme le sèche-linge ont été jugés inefficaces et trop longs à utiliser, ce qui peut gêner le confort lors de longs séjours.

Séjour trop court pour certains

Certains regrettent de n'avoir pu réserver qu'une seule nuit, souhaitant prolonger leur séjour pour profiter davantage de l'expérience unique offerte.
