Schönes Zimmer, Kontaktloses check in. Ungünstig war nur das vorige abstellen von Gepäck. Check in war erst ab 15:00 möglich und kein Ansprechpartner, wo man das hinterlegen könnte. Also mussten wir wieder zurück zum hbf und dort das Gepäck lagern. Auch braucht man eine Nummer zum einchecken, welche Angeblich in der Mail Bestätigung enthalten sein sollte. Dort war sie aber nicht. Erst nach langer suche war sie über die expedia app einsehbar. Und selbst dort nicht gut ausgeschildert. Hilfreich wäre, schon im Vorfeld zu sagen, dass diese Nummer benötigt wird und wo sie zu finden ist.

ライブハウスの上階ということや、共用バスということで懸念がある人がいるかもしれませんが、全く心配しなくて良いかと思いました。 静かで清潔、特に不満はなく快適に過ごせました。一般的な室内バスの部屋を望まれている方でも、価格優先でこちらを選んでも良いのではないでしょうか。

Despicable

I arrive at 2am and there was not reception. They claim the sent me an email with a code to do the check in with a machine installed at the door, but I got no email. Therefore I had to spend the night outdoors. They did not care the slightest, not even as to refund my money for a night I didnt use.

지난번의 경험이 마음에 들어 다시 투숙하게 되었습니다. 저렴하지만 시설은 어디에도 밀리지 않고 위치나 교통편까지 좋습니다. 지난번과 달리 락커에 본인의 자물쇠를 거는것이 아닌 프론트에서 보증금을 내고 키를 빌리는 방식으로 바뀌었습니다
