check in time is 4 p.m. that 's too late , should be 3 p.m. If you come early you have to stand downstair because the elevator will start to work from check in time or have to wait for customer who has the code to open the main door and climb to the third floor which is the lobby room . No locker to keep your luggage . I stay In private room only have one bed no other facilities in the room , not suitable for the price.

너무 이해가 안되는 점이 아무리 호스텔이라하더라도 옷을 걸수 있는 곳이 전혀 없었고 소지품을 보관할수 있는 작은 공간도, 슬리퍼도 없었습니다. 화장실 갈때도 운동화를 신어야했어요. 오너분께서는 꼭 다른 호스텔에 가보셨으면 좋겠습니다. 저는 나쁜 후기를 남기지 않는데 여기는 정말 별로였습니다.

게스트하우스 인데도 객실, 화장실, 샤워실 모두 깔끔하고 좋았어요. 제가 갔을때는 소음도 없었구요. 체크인 전 4시까지 짐을 맡기기 어려운게 조오금 아쉬웠어요. 그래도 저렴한 가격에 잘쉬다 갑니당

2段ベッドが２台の４人部屋でプライベート確保はできるかなと少し不安はありましたが、部屋の中は皆さん静かで問題なく過ごせました。それよりも廊下を歩く人の話し声や、女性専用フロアのドアを開閉する音など部屋の外の方がうるさいと思いました。 トイレとシャワールームは広くて余裕があったのが良かった点です。
