Good hotel and conditions, also the location. But weak windows cannot isolate the noise from the restaurant downstairs until 03:00 a.m. or more.

チェックイン時に、本ホテルではなく、系列のアミンホテルに連れて行かれました。 10分ほど歩く必要がありました。 ツアーの迎えを本ホテルに設定していたため、無断で場所を変更され、本当に腹が立ちました。 朝食も8時からで、早起きの旅行者には向いてないと思います。 部屋に入った時にはトイレの床が濡れていてとても嫌な気持ちになりました。 シャワーに関しても、最初はお湯が出ますが、使ううちにぬるくなってしまいます。水捌けも悪いです。 バスタオルはなく、小さなタオルが人数分しかありませんでした。 夜も車のクラクションがうるさく寝つきが悪かったです。 窓の鍵が閉まらず、防犯面で不安でした。 全てのドアの建て付けも悪く、鍵の開け閉めが難しかったです。 エレベーターも中々来ず、5分ほど待ちました。 全てが最悪でした。
