Wonderful Artistic Stay

The breakfast offered was very nice, the best. A diverse selection of items like homemade granola and mustard spinach smoothies were available. Fresh towels were provided in the room. The bathroom includes shampoo, body wash, a free bottle of water, and a mini fridge.
The location wasn't ideal if you want to be close to the main sights. It's far from many attractions.

Artistic Retreat with Wonderful Breakfast!

short walk laid-back vibe homemade granola fresh towels
The subway stations are a short walk away, about 7 to 10 minutes to Jujo or Kujo. I could quickly return to the hotel to rest before sightseeing. The hotel had a laid-back vibe with soft cushions and spots to relax. Breakfast was marvelous with homemade granola. Fresh towels, shampoo, body wash, a free water bottle, a mini fridge, and a private bathroom were in the room.
My room had just one power point. It was not enough for my hair dryer, kettle, and charging station.

I was thrilled with the artsy atmosphere of the place. my south wing twin room non-smoking had great amenities included like pajamas, water, tea, slippers, and lovely shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash (so fancy!). i loved the bath salt bar. I could create my own scent to enjoy in the tub.
