Stays & Thoughts
I Don’t Like Airbnb
Nov 2019I don’t like Airbnb. I would prefer staying at Hilton (even worse – probably even at Holiday Inn or Travelodge or Ibis) rather than staying at an Airbnb place. I prefer most of the hostels/hotels over an Airbnb apartment.
Autumn in Japan: Aoni Onsen in Aomori
Nov 2020If it was not for the promise of surrounding fall colors and an onsen only lit up with oil lamps, I would not find my way to the wonderful Aoni Onsen in Aomori and finally connect with the onsen experience. Aoni Onsen was like a scene from one of the novels of Tanazaki with its very traditional feel with each guest perfectly playing the part.
Nobis Hotel: What Lies Beneath Its Cover
May 2017The experience at Nobis Hotel can even be described as Stockholm in a nutshell - stylish decoration, good food, nice people and lively atmosphere.
Favorite Hotels // I find hotels to be great sources of inspiration for some of my design choices at my own apartment. Here is a list of some of my favorite hotels.
Pension Hida no Mori
ExploreWinter Paradise // While deciding for my accommodation in Takayama, one of the reviews I came across said that if you are already checking out Pension Hida No Mori, look no further and resume your search right there. I can only conquer with this statement.
Anteroom Kyoto
ExploreBudget Option // While it cannot compete with hostel prices, Anteroom is a great option for solo travelers with its customized single room/single bed rates.
