great restaurantssmall bathroomnon-functioning fan
The staff are amazing. Great restaurants are within walking distance.
The bathroom was very small for a hotel of this quality and it smelled like sewerage. There was no functioning fan in the bathroom. The breakfast buffet probably would not appeal to many Westerners.

The hotel room was spacious, including a large bed and a good-sized bathroom. The location allowed easy walks to attractions and shopping. The public bath was unexpected and appreciated.
The WiFi in the annex building was unstable. It lost connection frequently.
