Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed a couple of nights in a single room with a shared bathroom. It was simple, but clean and comfortable, and it had everything I needed for a short stay. I also liked that the shared bathrooms were single occupancy instead of having to share a bathroom with several other people using different stalls, as I've seen at other hostels. The location was convenient, and it was easily walkable to everything I needed.

Nice relaxed hostel to stay at. Shower in shared bathroom could benefit from a bit of tlc around corners of shower base but overall very happy with the cleanliness, bedding & bunk areas great and well equipped and warm and secure.

私が英語があまりできないためか受付スタッフの対応があまり良くありませんでした。 部屋の設備の中にタオルが書いてありましたがそれは有料でした。 外観は古かったですが部屋自体はそれほど古いとは思いませんでした。 ただ、窓から隙間風が入りヒーターをMAXにしても寒かったです。 すぐ近くにアートセンターや公園があり、観光スポットにも歩いて行けたため立地は良かったと思います。

Had a very comfortable and convenient 4 day stay in female 4 bed ensuit room. Everything was great. Only issue I had was the noise coming from closing of doors out of other rooms with bangs and loud noises in the middle of the night other than that I had a lovely stay. I would highly recommend it.

全体的に良かった。 けど、expediaでクレジットカード決済してるにもかかわらず、ホテルからも二重でクレジットカードから引き落としされてました。 メールするとすぐ対応してくれましたが、気づかなかったらどうなってたのかなって思うと… でも他はよかったです。
