Property was very close in proximity to all the major cultural heritage sites — actually virtually right there on the spot. Knowledgeable concierge as well as very good check-in staff. Covid rules well in place so stay was very comfortable overall despite cloudy and rainy weather. Highly recommended.

For the price, a bed is a bed. The view is quite nice though.

Great location for a casual stay.
The room is a little small and a bit too warm with the air conditioning. A bit dated and needing some renovation. Great location.

Compact room with castle view.
We booked a Hollywood twin and found the room to be quite small (it is Japan, so not unusula), but the beds were really comfortable and the room quiet. We had a lovely view of the castle from our windo, which opened (always a bonus to have some fresh air come in). Staff were helpful, and car parking was easy and reasonably priced. The hotel is an easy walk to the shopping street and surrounding area, where there are lots of eating options.

Nice hotel close to the castle
Very well located near the castle and the city. Easy access and they have a paid parking lot for guests. Breakfast was really good.
