The rooms were quaint and clean. Although the amenities aren’t flashy and there’s no free breakfast, the kind lady who runs pension was sweet, caring, and attended to our needs. I had a very good room at unbeatable price and I would stay here again a million times. Thank you Pension!

Terrible customer service from owner's mother

At check-in, I was not informed shower is only open from 6PM - 11PM and 6AM - 10AM. So, I woke up late next morning and took a shower at 11AM. The next day, I did the same at around 10AM. There was a cleaning lady and I asked if I can take a shower. Then, out of no where an older lady rush in and scream at me in my face and she check everything and shoo me away. The Host later explained to me that is her mother and the mother was angry because she has to clean up after my late shower the day before. I did not understand the policy since it was not explained to me. The mother did not apology. I was not happy with the customer service. The host, however, is very apologetic and agree to refund my 1 night stay because I cancel my reservation after the incident. There is also a curfew at 10PM the front door will lock so you need to be back in the building at 10PM

È bello trovare un albergo ancora in stile locale. Il personale è davvero gentile e disponibile, e questo ci è piaciuto molto. I bagni/restroom in comune sono pochi: questo potrebbe essere uno svantaggio quando ci sono tanti ospiti presenti. Forse questo e l'arredo dei bagni un po' datato sono i punti dolenti del nostro soggiorno. I locali comunque erano sempre puliti e in ordine. Le aree comuni sono in stile un po' retrò ma questo può essere un dettaglio caratteristico. La stanza da letto tradizionale, con tatami e futon, ci è piaciuta tantissimo. Questo è un dettaglio importante. Riguardo alle camere: noi avevamo delle valige un po' ingombranti e lo spazio per riporle ( volendo evitare di sporcare il tatami) non era molto. L'albergo è in una zona servita dai mezzi ma abbastanza distante dal caos delle aree più turistiche, e con tanti locali per mangiare tipico. Insomma: è stata un' esperienza autentica, con alcuni elementi migliorabili, ma sicuramente positiva.
