I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, with a great central location and friendly staff who spoke English well. The room was clean and of good quality, although it felt a bit cramped with the double bed taking up too much space. The dining options were decent, but could use a bit more variety. Overall, it's a good value for the money, especially with all the amenities available.

I had a lovely stay at Gintama! The rooms were small but impeccably clean and quite comfortable. The staff was charming and always eager to help, plus the breakfast they offered was ample and delicious. The location was decent, close to the heart of the city; however, it can be a bit steep if you're not used to hills. Overall, great value for money, but there were a few hiccups with the service that held it back from being perfect.
