Stay away yuck yuck horrible

I have never stayed at a hotel or hostel so filthy in my life it was so bad I had to leave immediately. Bugs on the bed urine all over the bathroom i was thinking about calling the authorities because the way they keep the facilities should be illegal.

写真では綺麗なところを映していますが、実際はとても汚いです。 天井は穴だらけ、トイレ、シャワー室は汚い。かなり覚悟しておいたほうがいい。自分で清掃してから使いました。 立地は良く、値段が安いので、相応かと。 スタッフは愛想がよく、タクシーを呼んでくれるなど対応は素晴らしい。 クラークキー、チャイナタウンには歩いて行けます。 コストパフォーマンスはいいと思う。 部屋が狭い分、クーラーがよく効いていました。 ダニなど虫はいませんでした。 ナイトサファリなど行きましたので夜中に帰ってくるので寝たのは５時間くらいかな？ ４人家族（子供２人）で使いましたが節約、寝るだけ、なら使い勝手はいいと思います。

Don’t stay here

Don’t stay here! This hostel has a lot of bedbugs when we came in and there was no one at the reception area to accommodate us so we transferred to a different hotel. The management should clean their hostel!

オーナーがとても良い人です。ガキの使いが好きなのでここに泊まった人は是非オーナーにその話をしてください。そしてオーナーは僕に、なぜ千秋と遠藤章造は別れたの？と聞かれたけど僕は理由を知らなくて答えれなかったので教えてあげてください。シャワーの温度は日によって違うけどとても冷たい日はないので全然大丈夫です。 注意点はチェックインは連絡をしない限り14時以降しかできません。僕は夜の5時に空港に着き、どうせ入れるやろと思って向かいましたが掃除などの関係もありチェックインさせて貰えませんでした。そこは気をつけてください。あとロビーのソファーに足を上げたら注意されます。楽しんでください！
