Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Like: Clean, friendly staff, easy check-in/out, very comfy bed, some space for putting luggage (not much but still better than some other hostels). Washing machine for free with free detergent coin operated dryer. Can also borrow the umbrella from the hostel if needed. Dislike: the room door was screeching continuously, making me very uncomfortable whenever going in/out since I would disturb others. Hope the hotel fix it soon. Hot water can be on and off in the middle of your shower due to other users. If it happens to be suddenly cold, just let it run for a few more minutes to be hot again. Also, Expedia website says towel will be provided but it wasn't (you have to book the room "amenities included or rent it for 200Y). Should edit this info. Overall enjoyable stay, thank you!
