Traditional Japanese room was a fascinating experience. English breakfast is 3 pieces of toast plus a hot drink, not a cooked breakfast as the term might mean in the UK. Overall a good stay

お世話になりました

男女共同べやから、女性専用部屋にキャンセルが出たとのことで、移動させてもらうことがらできました。 その気遣いが、とても嬉しかったです。 ただ一つだけ言うならは、ベットの上段になるのか下段なのかの情報も欲しかったです。 その他は、スタッフの対応も清潔面でも 何段的に、申し分ないくらいちゃんとしたホステルでした^_^

部屋のライトが切れたり 灯が暗いし シャワーの設備が悪いです、着替える場所に服置き棚が欲しいです。洗面所の手拭きタオルが置いてあるですが 沢山人使ってるから 手拭き紙式のタオルにして欲しいです！ お客さんが泊まってるの和室なのに従業員が出入りするの控え室と同じ扉で使ってるのはおかしいです！大変不便です！せめて出入り扉を別々に変えて欲しいです。

シャワールーム

何回も宿泊させていただいており、大変満足しています。 もし1つ小さなことですが、改善できることがあるとすれば、シャワールームの赤かびが気になりました。 1週間に1度でも清掃するとより気持ちよくシャワーを浴びれると思います！

ベッドスペースが広い！ベッドの作りがしっかりしていたので上段を使用していても軋み音があまりしなかったので、良かったです。部屋は結構人がいましたが、洗面やシャワー室もいくつかあって、待つことなく使いやすかったです。部屋内の空調が強めでしたが、部屋全体に効くようにするには仕方がないのかなと思いました。無理貸出にブランケットがあったので、寒い場合は借りるとよいのかもしれません。綺麗でこのお値段で、とても満足です！
