Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Comfort rating is below par — Guest comfort scores 6.9, the lowest of all categories, suggesting some may find the beds or quietness less than perfect.
- Facilities score moderate — While the hotel has many amenities, the facilities category sits at 7.5, hinting at wear or layout quirks.
- Some distance from central sights — Sanjusangendo Temple is a 10-minute drive away, and the hillside location means the city center is not walkable.
