必要なものは全て揃っています。この値段で朝食やタオルも付いてくるので十分だと思います。そして、猫がいっぱいいます。子猫が可愛くて幸せでした。

部屋の冷房の効きが良すぎて寒かったです。無いよりは良いです!

Chambre de 4 personnes, proche du centre. Petit déjeuner servi (riz frit, nouilles, pain de mie)

Le lit n’était pas propre il y avait des cheveux sur les draps, pas de papier toilette + 1 jet cassé dans 1 toilette. Douches propres L’hôtel n’est pas simple à trouver (il se situe à côté du magasin Yonex)

Es gibt gutes asiatisches Frühstück, die Lage ist sehr gut und die Inhaberin ist sehr freundlich. Handtuch mit inkludiert.

Falls jemand Toilettenpapier braucht, sollte man es selber mitbringen. Es gibt leider wenig Platz in den Zimmern fürs Gepäck

Awful, avoid at all costs

Location was okay

Rooms very small, beds not very comfy, towels provided were like blankets, they do not provide toilet paper in the bathrooms, showers and toilets not cleaned, wouldn't call it a backpacker location full of people staying 50 years old +, one of the worst hostels stayed in whilst backpacking

This hostel did the job , but i wouldn’t stay here again.

6.0

The property was very central and the staff were nice.

This is the only place I’ve stayed in my 13 years I’ve been travelling that don’t provide toilet paper !! That’s ridiculous you have to bring your own, There was a ‘free breakfast’ but it’s only 3 carbs: rice, noodles or bread. No eggs or meat or fruits is provided. They really are being tight on the money saving! Also a lot of people actually live in that hostel, so it had less of a ‘backpacker vibe’ and more of a ‘you’re staying in someone’s house’ vibe.
