excellent breakfasts and helpful staff

lovely breakfastsafternoon cakehelpful staffsulfuric odor
i really liked that the hotel served those lovely breakfasts and afternoon cake (it was such a nice gesture). the staff were very helpful. we arrived earlier than expected and were ready to just store our luggage until check-in time, but the kind lady at reception checked for us and found that our room was already ready, so we were able to settle in much earlier! the hotel's location is great as well-very close to the center and rainbow street.
there were hairs found in the shower and on the bedding. additionally, the water in the shower had a strong sulfuric odor, likely due to the geothermal source from nearby hot springs. while this is understandable, other hotels typically filter the water to reduce the smell, leaving guests feeling clean and refreshed after a shower.

The staff was indeed helpful, especially when I needed directions. The complimentary coffee and cake in the afternoon was a nice touch. I particularly enjoyed that there was dedicated on-site parking available at no extra cost. This made things much easier, as i rented a car to explore the area.
The shower had a noticeable sulfuric odor from the geothermal water. I understand this is natural, but filtering might improve the experience.
