It was great having a nice communal seating area/bar in the main part of the hostel. We were able to sit there for as long as we wanted when we were too tired to do any more walking in the heat. We were in the annex and it was perfect for our needs - very quiet. As there was no elevator, one of the staff carried our luggage up the stairs for us.

Okay hostel - great location

I'll start with the good things: the location was amazing for the price, just around the corner from the historical district. The communal bathrooms and showers were pretty clean, and overall the room was pretty clean too. There was water leaking outside of the rooms but that didn't bother me much. The price was very cheap so I didn't expect much, but the bed was basically a wooden plank (there was a mattress, but it was so thin and the middle had caved in, so most of the bed was a wooden plank). It was quite hard to sleep. The (included) breakfast wasn't amazing, but I guess I shouldn't expect much. If the bed hadn't been void of padding, I would give this hostel a solid 4 stars, but that was pretty bad so I'm giving 3 stars.

雰囲気が良く落ち着いている。 スタッフも快く対応してくれている。 所々天井が低く頭を打ちそうになるが省スペースという観点からだと納得できる。

客室にない物 掛け時計　テレビ 客室にあるもの 電子レンジ　ウォーターサーバー 洗濯機　キッチン 共同利用でも良いモノが客室内にある。便利と言えば便利だが。。。 テレビが無いまでは理解出来るが時計が無い部屋に泊まるのは初めてでした。 冷蔵庫が古いのかどうかわかりませんが、インバータの音が大きく眠りづらい、せっかく美観地区にアクセスしやすい立地なのに残念です。 改善があればまた利用したいです。

倉敷で週末にしては高くないけれども

シャワーとトイレが共同で、同じフロアにあったのはいいとして、一旦客室から外に出ることになるので、格好を気にする必要がある。特に2階の女性専用シャワー室の前にフリースペースがあり、そこは男女兼用なので、シャワー室を出た途端にそこでお茶を飲んでいた男性と目があって気まずかった。1階から上は天井が吹き抜けになっていてコの字型に客室が配置されている。冬なので天井が閉じられているが、一歩客室を出たらかなり寒さを感じるので、もっと寒くなったら湯冷めする可能性あり。

連泊だったので、1段目のベッドで、良かったです。部屋や廊下・隣のシャワー室などの音も気にならないぐらい気を付けている建物だなと思いました。朝食も毎日同じでしたが2日間は飽きずに食べれましたし美味しかったです。（3日目は外食しました） 難を言えば針金ハンガーが一つあったのですが、かけるところがなく苦心しました。 洗顔フォームや化粧水乳液もあって、助かりました。
