    “Polite response”

    Despite the flight being delayed and arriving past midnight, they provided courteous service and welcomed us warmly. The location was also very good, and we were able to spend the night quietly. The historic building had a great atmosphere, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Above all, the owner and the staff were warm and attentive.

    “Recommended for those who want to experience a retro atmosphere.”

    The location is about a 10 to 15-minute walk from the station. The building is old, so from a Japanese perspective, it can't be described as clean, but it has a retro charm and is sufficient for needs. The shower had hot water! There are several cats around, and when you leave the door open, they come by to play.

    “A charming stay in a piece of history”

    I had the pleasure of staying here on the 23rd and 24th of August, and it was a wonderful experience. What makes this place truly special is that it is housed in the former Turkish Embassy, beautifully preserving its historic charm and architectural character. From the grand old gate to the vintage windows and elegant design details, every corner reflects its rich heritage. The hotel is also incredibly good value for money, offering a unique and memorable stay without being expensive. The atmosphere is peaceful, the property is full of character, and it feels like stepping into a piece of history. I genuinely loved my stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something beyond a standard hotel experience.
