    “I really like it!”

    The building was a bit old, so it creaked whenever I moved the bed, which was a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, everything was great. There was some noise due to construction during the day, but I was mostly outside, so I didn't notice it much. It was a breakfast-included package, and the breakfast was really delicious. Even though it was old, it was very clean, and having two bathrooms and two shower booths was really good for using with the kids!

    “The price is a bit expensive, but it's a satisfying hotel.”

    We were able to stay at a hotel with a good price for a family of four, including breakfast. It had a charming atmosphere and a very nice space, and the room we stayed in was a duplex, which was quite spacious and well-utilized. The breakfast was not a buffet, but the menu was quite diverse and tasty. The kids were playing in the pool when some Chinese tourists asked them to move aside to take their pictures, which upset the kids and made them come up. It is a great place for photos, but pool access is also a right, so I hope everyone can be a bit more considerate. The hotel has friendly staff, tidy housekeeping, and ample amenities. There are many advantages to this hotel. I recommend it.

    “Exceptional”

    The hotel is as beautiful as in a museum, suitable for those who like to check in. The double room has a spacious window and a ceiling fan. The room is clean, and the bathroom is larger than those in the hotels I have stayed at. However, it is not close to places selling food, and being an old house, the sound insulation is poor.
