Very good value for money! Super friendly staff and nice comfy room. Only con is that because it's a budget accomodation, be prepared to climb up stairs! They have a few floors in the property. Also because it's budget, there is no shower cap or toothbrush provided. Overall, nice experience staying there. Definitely recommended :)

新しいホステルで館内全体的にとてもキレイでした。 ただ、路地裏にあるので少し見つけにくかったことと、近隣の騒音が少し気になるところだけが少し残念でした。 ドミの部屋は広くはないですが大きなロッカーがあったり、自分専用の扇風機がついていたりととても快適でした。朝食は向かいの系列ホテルでいただきます。内容はシンプルですが美味しかったです。 そして、なによりスタッフの方々がとても親切で泣きそうなくらい助かりました。色々と助けてくださり感謝です。 Super thank you, tee tee!!!
