I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was amazing, close to the Marina, Tawaramachi metro station, and Asakusa's main tourist spot. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was top-notch. However, the dining experience could have been better with more fresh dishes. The facilities were impressive, offering everything I needed for a pleasant stay.
