Au Lac Charner Hotel

The Au Lac Charner Hotel truly delivers a memorable stay. The room was spotless and had a warm, inviting atmosphere, and the meals were delicious—especially the breakfast, which was fresh and satisfying. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly smiles and genuine hospitality. It’s clear this hotel is popular with Western travelers, as I didn’t meet another Japanese guest during my entire stay—perfect for soaking in that authentic international vibe. While my room was on the ground floor with no view, the rooftop pool on the 10th floor offered breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Absolutely worth the upgrade! That said, I did experience a sudden fever during my visit. Unfortunately, there wasn’t an emergency first-aid kit available in the room, and nearby pharmacies were out of stock when I checked. I was a bit stressed until I found a local pharmacy just a five-minute walk away via Google Maps—luckily, they had cooling packs and basic medicine. Overall, the location is excellent: well-connected, easy to explore, and ideal as a base for sightseeing. With its charm, cleanliness, and great service, this place is a fantastic choice for travelers looking for comfort and authenticity.

The rooftop area, however, is a real highlight: a great spot to unwind with a drink, enjoy the view, and catch the sunset. Overall, a solid choice for travelers who value convenience, good service, and a relaxed vibe.
