Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
pro's: everything was very clean and staff were very friendly. Kitchen was well equipped. Location is good. Cons: my room (and other rooms will be different) was tiny... advertised as 12m2, it was 1.5 x 4 m, who knows how they got a bunk bed in. The window was difficult to open and close and the rubbish bins and bags were right below it. My room was super noisy as it was right by reception and staff talked loudly to each other until 11pm for 2 nights of the three.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
お皿は3枚（コップも2.3個）ほどあったが、鍋やフラインパンなどキッチン用具が充実しているとはいえない。お風呂の排水溝が詰まっていてシャワーを浴びていると足首の上までお湯が溜まってしまった。チェックインは早くさせてくれた。下のベッドにカーテンはない。長期滞在するならしんどいかも。
