I had a lovely stay at this hotel, situated just a few minutes' walk from Forodani Park, which is a perfect spot for people-watching and enjoying local street food. The rooms were clean and beautifully decorated, although a bit on the small side. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially the amazing Italian GM Carlotta, who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. While the dining experience could use some improvement, especially for breakfast, the overall value for money was decent.
