8.2/10 Very Good! (432 reviews)
예상보다 엄청 깨끗함. 건물자체는 약간 오래된 느낌이지만 입구부터 방까지 되게 깔끔함. 칫솔.치약.면도기 등 갖춰진게 많아서 좋았음. 욕조도 일본치고 엄청 깊고 큼. 침대도 그렇게 작지않고 냄새안남. 혼자 여행한다면 시모노세키역이나 가라토시장에서 약간 거리가되지만 버스가 자주다녀서 괜찮음. 걸어간다고해도 대로변으로 쭉가면 되서 걱정없음. 여행객보단 비즈니스맨들이 많음. 밤에 주변에 걸어다니다보면 취해서 서로 배웅하고 택시부르고 그러는 비즈니스맨들 구경가능.

Secure in Shimonoseki
Large, new room for the price range. Really close to station and bus terminal. Quiet. All non-smoking rooms. Swipe to floor level security. Needs better pillows and hooks for hanging items.
