Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes
Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked on points room with castle view, and received the same
How are the rooms?- Small and pretty dated, but still with some charm
- Comfortable bed
- Nice view over the castle
- Flat screen television with very poor selection of international channels (actually only CNN International and BBC World)
- Kettle for tea
- Only one free bottle of water
- Bathroom even more dated and quite small
- No iphone dock
- No wifi
How is the exec. lounge?
N/A
But there is free wifi in the lobby and 2 PCs with free Internet (printer with a fee)
What was good and what was bad?
Good- Convenient location (just next a metro station, close to both historical monuments and the trendy part of the city)
- Excellent service
- Dated hotel but with some charm (lobby with waterfall, the geishas who welcome you, the key which is not an electronic one)
- Free wifi in the lobby
- Elegant design
- Free shuttle to/from the central station
Bad- The pool is not free
- No wifi in the room
- A renovation without removing the charm of the hotel would be more than welcome
Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Yes. 20,000 points a night during the cherry blossoms season is an excellent deal
