8/10
The design and deco of the hotel is top notch. Room is nicely decorated and thoughtfully design. The renovation done perfectly to maintain the heritage of the building at the same time creating a comfortable living space with the input of luxurious feeling and technology.
However, the staff and service is not up to par with the hardware, especially when you’re not Japanese or caucasian. During check in, the front desk will direct you to a room and while other guest were being carefully explained and tour for the hotel, I was just ask to be seated and wait, after sometimes, someone brought us to the room and point to us the way to the library and lounge on the way.
I really appreciate the concept of self-service bar, but I also appreciate if someone could replenish items like ice or towel or dip mats for the bar, but it was not happening.
Dinner and breakfast was ok, staff were busy cooking and decorating the dishes for the whole meal and seriously I didn’t felt any kind of service or interaction were happening.
I skipped the lunch because the whole experience is not very welcoming. After staying in so many hotels and onsen ryokan in Japan, it’s actually the first time I felt that.
I surely understand some of the guest would like service not too attentive and have more personal space, but I also believe basic politeness and pay attention to what’s their guests need is something very basic, and those were lack in this hotel.
