ただただ安い宿泊施設(2泊で5,000円台)。エアコンは各部屋にあるようです。共同トイレ・シャワー室、共同洗面台。 １階におばちゃんが管理人としている。 寝るためにだけの素泊まりなら2日くらいは我慢できる程度。 壁が薄く階段や廊下からの足音、階層内の扉や窓の開閉音がとても耳障りでした。

À fuire

L’hôtel sent mauvais. Peu importe l’étage, ça sent la cigarette. Il y avait des traces de moisissures sur le mur dans la chambre. La douche était payante en supplément et pas d’ascenseur alors qu’ils nous ont mis une chambre au troisième étage avec nos grosse valise. Nous avions essayé de demander un changement, mais les personnes ne sont pas disponibles et ils ne parlent pas anglais.

簡易宿泊所としては申し分ない。ただトイレがウォシュレットないし、便座にヒビが入っててもう少しどうにかならないかと思いました。クーラーガンガン効くのは○。Wi-Fiは全然入りませんでした。でも、石川町駅からあんなに近かったら、十分だと思います。あと、訪ねていったときどうすればいいかよくわからないのも、いくらかでも改善していただけると嬉しいです。二回目きたらわかるから、また利用します。
