🛏️ Room Options for Every Kind of Traveler

Deluxe Room

This is the standard room, but trust me, it’s anything but basic. It’s super spacious (around 50㎡), and the king-size bed is ridiculously comfy. Perfect for solo travelers or couples.

Want a little extra luxury? This one’s for you. You get access to a private lounge where you can enjoy breakfast and afternoon tea. It’s definitely a more elevated experience.

Suite Room

For families or honeymooners, the suite is the way to go. It has a separate living room and dining area, so it feels like a full-on apartment.

🏊‍♀️ Let’s Talk About the Pool

There’s just one indoor heated pool here, but it’s all you need. It’s not massive, but it’s super clean and quiet, so it feels like your own private retreat.

  • Pool depth: About 1.2m, so it’s great for casual swimming.
  • What’s nearby? A Jacuzzi! It’s perfect for soaking and relaxing those tired muscles.
  • Who’s it best for? Couples or solo travelers looking for a peaceful vibe—it’s not really a family-style pool.

🍳 Breakfast That’s Totally Worth It

Breakfast is served at NOKA Roast & Grill, and let me tell you, it’s the highlight of the stay. They offer a mix of Japanese and Western dishes, and everything is so fresh and delicious. The sashimi and Japanese-style okonomiyaki? Absolute winners. Personally, I couldn’t get enough of the French toast with strawberry jam—it was chef’s kiss. Starting my day with this kind of breakfast just put me in the best mood.
