Consulaat-Generaal van Japan

Mooi, en enigszins gedateerd, hotel in het centrum van District 1. Veel is binnen tien minuten lopen. Mooi en groot zwembad. Personeel super vriendelijk en kan met veel (info) helpen. Zo regel ze bv goedkope taxi’s.

Hotel is gevestigd in een statig gebouw met heel veel koloniale elementen. Je moet wel van houden. Het hotel kan echter wel een flinke opfrisbeurt gebruiken. Als gast kom je gelukkig niks te kort. Personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ontbijt is uitgebreid met veel Aziatische gerechten. Het hotel ligt op een levendige boulevard waar 'savonds mensen op straat gaan vermaken. Het hotel heeft ook een ideale ligging ten opzichte van de toeristische plekken. De meesten liggen op loop afstand, een vervoer is niet echt nodig.

We arrived in the afternoon by Uber to the hotel, concierge guys are very helpful and welcoming every guest. Receptionist is also very friendly, but reacts a bit slow, I asked 3 times if our room is quiet coz i always have trouble sleeping and finally he said it's for sure a quiet room. We got the room at the end of the hallway, next to emergency exit, but there are a lot of housekeeping stuff so they don't keep the door closed. The hallway is much warmer than the lobby/elevator since it's not air-conditioned. The isolation is the room is not very good, we had a family next to us and the kid was screaming loud in the evening, it felt like he was just screaming next to us...we can also hear/feel the toilet flashing, shower running guess the bed side is right next to their bathroom. Since our room is the last on the 4th floor, bathroom is pretty hot during the day because of the sun, and there is no air condition or ventilation installed. I like the idea that they use big bottles for shampoo and shower gel, which saves a lot of plastic waste. Hotel is located on a less crowded road, easy walking distance to the Independence Palace, War Remnants Museum, etc.. There are also many local/international restaurants to choose from. Our flight was after mid-might, we kept our luggages at the hotel, and my husband even got access to the jacuzzi/sauna/shower after we came back from our last sight-seeing walk. The hotel staff helped us very well for our requests.
