It was OK for the price as it's a place to put away our stuff. The area was close to amenities and the subway is within a few mins walking distance. It was a self-check in/out. They change the towels and garbage daily. The area was quiet. The bed was hard but again, for the price, I can't really complain. There was free use of laundry service. They also respond to the messages really fast. The photos are of the places close to the area.

Room was decent size and clean. The free washer and dryer on the 3rd was nice to have available. Only complaint is that mattress was a little too firm for my liking, but wasn't terrible and I still able to sleep well enough. I would rebook here again.

The location of this place was perfect for visiting nearby friends or hopping onto any of the 4 lines at the nearby (maybe 5min walk) metro stop! I was pleasantly surprised to have a cosy room with A/C and soaps/towel already in the personal shower. I would easily choose to stay here again whether heading out for an int'l flight or to visit friends!

I found my stay really worth my money. The hostel's location is really good, surrounded by many good restaurants, close to the subway that connects 4 lines and peaceful neighbourhood. The hostel's owner is such a nice guy, helping me fix my luggage! One drawback is only that I could hear people talking every night. However, overall is really good :)

ホステルとしては、立地も便利で、部屋も清潔で、トイレとシャワールームも広く快適に過ごせた。スタッフの方の対応も良かったし、 共有キッチンにウォーターサーバーも設置されていたので飲み物に困る心配なしでした。 寝るだけなら価格帯もお値打ちでGood!! ただ、泊まった部屋のテレビがつながらなかったのと周りに飲食店が多いせいか夜中に小動物が壁越しに動く音が少し気になったのがちょっと残念だった。 それも旅の醍醐味として楽しめる方ならおすすめです。
