The building was old, but the room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and the sheets were clean. Not good point, on the map there is a big park between the subway and the hotel, but there is no park and there is big construction.

So if you want a private room for $25, a hostel is your best bet. The location was great. There were a variety of reasonably priced eating establishments in the area. There is a 24 hour Family Mart just steps away which is really convenient. The staff was helpful. The facility is old but is acceptable. I would stay there again. ##### Julie Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### CHING YAT 30 Dec 2017 #### 優缺點 地點OK,進出交通方便.沒有wifi,沒有沐浴露,洗頭水. 價格便宜. ##### CHING YAT Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### crystal 26 Nov 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Decent place for the money and location The hostel is a great place to stay with easy access to the train station. The receptionist could be a bit more friendly. This was my second time and both times she really didn't seem interested in helping, just doing her job. The wifi is bad and extremely slow so be prepared for that frustration. ##### crystal Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Joao Paulo 29 Mar 2017 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Hotel evaluation Very good ##### Joao Paulo ### 4/10 Poor #### Raphael 9 May 2016 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### schlimmstes Office Personal seit 4 Monaten Reise!

Das Hotelpersonal war sehr unfreundlich und nicht hilfsbereit!!Wir haben mehrere Anläufe unternommen dem Office Personal ein paar Informationen zu entloken - leider vergeblich (zum Beispiel: Hilfe bei Zugticket Buchung, Buchung für die Akrobatik-Show, U-Bahn Haltestelle für ins Zentrum/Skyline ...) Das Personal wirkte immer Abweisend (wir waren bei verschiedenen Personen...). Seit nun mehr als 4 Monate auf Reise, war das mit Abstand unfreundlichste, unmotivierteste Personal! Einzig das Personal im dazugehörenden Restaurant ist freundlich und zuvorkommend! ##### Raphael ### 6/10 Okay #### Naoya 5 Mar 2016 #### 悪いことはあまりありませんでした。 3泊シングルルームで宿泊しました。 旅程表を見せているのに予約履歴がないといわれ少し大変でした。 自分の宿泊した部屋は電球が３つのうち2つが切れてたので朝電球を交換してほしいという置手紙を置いといたので交換してくれました。室内にはボトルウォーターはなく、バスタオル、歯ブラシ、石鹸、トイレットペーパー、使い捨てスリッパ以外のアメニティは一切ありませんでした。 フロントにて水やジュースの購入ができますが、付近の商店より割高になってます。 電気ポットが室内に備え付けられてました。 １Fにはバーがあり、お酒やハンバーガー、パスタなど、種類も豊富でした。 価格もバーにしては安いほうかと思います。ビリヤードも無料で楽しめました。 ##### Naoya ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 4 Jun 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### David 2 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities ##### David Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### kevin 23 Feb 2019 ##### kevin Stayed 12 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Tony 7 Oct 2018 ##### Tony Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicolas 28 Aug 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Nicolas Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 17 May 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service ##### Verified traveller ---
