設備は十分、でもベッド上段はおすすめしないかも

スタッフの方が親切でした。女性専用ドミトリーのベッド上段を希望して寝たので天井が近く、上の階のセミ・プライベートルームの方が深夜中ドタドタ歩き回っていた音であまり寝られませんでした。静かな方が上に泊まっていればそんなことはないのかもしれませんが…。バスタオルとフェイスタオルは無料で、化粧水まであって驚きました。シャワールーム、洗面台(こちらはお湯は出ない)、ドライヤーは十分な数でした。トーストとジャムの無料朝食もありました。 ドミトリールームや洗面所ルームに、少しでもイスがあればいいなと思いました。

knot

女性専用フロアがあるのに、シャワーと洗面台は男女共用でがっかり。 夜の時間帯にスタッフがおらず、女性専用フロア等出入りにセキュリティがなく、セキュリティ面ではないかなり不安。シャワーから出た時の段差で怪我する人がでそう。ロールが薄すぎて光がモロ寝床に入ってくる。和装を頑張るよりセキュリティその他もう少し頑張ってほしい
