Charming, cozy and great sleep.
The beds were very comfortable ! Lovely thick futons. The building is like an Auberge. Quaint and full of charm. On a hill. Nice views and breezy with open windows. (end of August). Nice kitchen to share with coffee…

お洒落で居心地の良いゲストハウス！
ロビーや部屋の雰囲気が、とてもお洒落できれいに整っていると思います。
キッチンも自由に使えて、コーヒーやお茶も飲めて良かった。またスタッフの丁寧な案内や気遣いも素晴らしく、とても気持ちよく泊まれました！！
部屋まで行くのに、狭い廊下をくねくね曲がりながら通るので、ちょっと分かりにくかった。部屋の壁が薄く、隣りの音がよく聞こえるのが少し残念でしたが、わりとしずかで気持ちよく休めました。

必要にして十分。機会があれば、また泊まりたい。
小樽という街の雰囲気にとてもよく合う雰囲気、外観、内装、調度が良かった。特に中庭の見えるロビーの雰囲気はとても良かったです。中庭が手入れされてあれば、さらに良かったでしょう。
フェリー下船後の夜半の到着ということもあって、スタッフによるメンテが終わっていたせいか、トイレの手拭き用のペーパーが溢れ、床に散乱していました。利用者のマナーの問題もありますが、そもそも用紙の装着具合が悪…

静かで素敵な異空間🪩✨️
とにかく建物がレトロな洋館で、時間がとまったような、映画時をかける少女的な、1番素敵なのは２階へ上がる階段部の🫎鹿さんの辺りです
あと1階のオシャレリビングも家庭的で素敵
ゲストもスタッフも皆さん感じが良かったです
良い思い出ありがとうございました🍀
