Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Lovely and helpful staff, comfortable beds. Felt surprisingly private. The shared spaces were spacious, comfortable and lovely. They have a “quiet” room which was highly appreciated. It felt new, fresh and cozy. The kitchen could get pretty messy but the staff tried their best to keep it clean. I felt like I got a lot of value for the money.

そんなに悪くはないけど二度目は多分ないと思う。

やや市内中心から離れる感じです。ロッカーは有料だったで少しびっくりした。部屋などは清潔ですが、共用台所は大勢が使っていたからなのか少々散らかっていた。
