Gross

The staff are very nice, you can tell they are trying their best but the hotel is too run down. However the building is super old and gross. This is a cheap hotel so I wasn’t expecting much but it was way too dirty and old. Mold in the air conditioning unit and drunk men in the hallway puking late at night. I got a bunch of bug bites while I was there too. It is very close to the train station but I wouldn’t stay here unless you are broke and desperate.

This is a hostel that is calling itself a hotel. There was no shower in the room. The community showers were gross. We opted to shower at a nearby onsen instead. I had to unplug the tv to charge my cellphone bc there were no power outlets.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Only 5 shower rooms for the whole entire building of dozens of rooms... Quite ridiculous tbh. First night I had to wait 1 hours in front of the shower room until I was finally able to use it. Everything is dirty, it might look ok at first but when u look close everything is dirty and moldy. The shampoo bottles for example, they were moldy. No soap in the bathroom. Wifi is extremely slow, I've never seen such a slow wifi in my life. The duvet on the bed was so old and dirty, and the clean sheets that covered the duvet didn't cover it entirely so it was gross. The pillow, you can't even call that a pillow. The size was a third of the size of a normal pillow and it seemed like it was filled with rocks, not foam or anything soft. Location isn't bad, but overall this place was definitely not worth the price we paid.

コスパと清潔さは問題ありません。 道路に面してるので、煩い車やバイクが通ると気になるのと、各部屋のドアの開け閉めの音がたまーに大きい時がありましたが客のモラルや文化の違いや構造上の問題かと思います。 建物は古いですがトイレの壁は汚れてましたが、便器が綺麗に清掃されていて、ウォシュレットでした。 立地は駅近でコンビニも複数近くにあり、便利です。 室内は禁煙になってますが、タバコ臭が染み付いている感じでした。 全体的に良かったので、また利用したいホテルです。
