A top notch experience with amazing staff and service. Exceptional rooms and beds. The only negative, and I’m searching here, would be the carpet in the common area needs to be cleaned. I highly recommend!

Fabulous. Could not have been better. Across the street from the tourist office and within walking distance of all the gorgeous shrines, museums, and historic points of interest. Also easily walked to very special restaurants after using the hot baths. Most important, the staff could not have been more wonderful. They went above and beyond on every occasion — including escorting us to our cab with umbrellas in the rain. Our favorite so far.
