Disgusting hostel, one of the worst I’ve stayed in (and I’ve stayed in quite a few). Bathrooms were disgusting, with mould on the ceiling and puddles on the floor. Bunk beds were rickety and felt like they were moments away from collapsing. The stairwell reeked of urine. The dorm room was dusty, dark and smelly, with roaches. One of the toilets was missing a button, so that you had to reach into the cistern to flush it. I didn’t use the kitchen or shower. I checked out a day early because I just couldn’t stay there any longer. Just because it’s a budget hostel does not mean that travellers should be subject to such conditions. At least the staff were lovely. Unfortunately that doesn’t make up for the disgusting living conditions.

スタッフの方はフレンドリーで良い方達でした。6人部屋はとても広く1人1つ小さめのスーツケースが入る大きさのロッカーがあり良かったです。シャワー室の鍵が壊れていたり固定式のシャワーのため少し使いづらい所はマイナス点です。立地、安さ重視の方むけだと思います。

This place is disgusting. There was a roach in the shower. The bathroom were so dirty I had to brush my teeth and wash my face in the kitchen sink.

年末年始の時期で同日予約に対する値段は優しく、宿泊に費用をかけたくない人にとっては十分だと思います！ただ少しでも汚いことに慣れない人には辛いかもしれません。

호텔이 아닌 곳이 아예 처음이었고 혼자 갔습니다 총 4일 있었는데 첫날만 불안해서 체크인후에 어디 못갔지만 담날부터는 너무 편했습니다 이미 4일을 돌아다닌터라 더이상 여기저기 돌아다닐 것도 없어서 티비에 넷플릭스로 드라마도 봤습니다 사실 많은 사람들이 쓰다보니까 암내도 살짝 나고, 청결도도 그렇게 좋진 않아요(방은 누가 있느냐에 따라 달라요 저희방은 깨끗했어요) 하지만 직원들이 친절하고 여기저기 볼거리, 즐길거리를 싸게 예매할 수 있고, 수요일엔 타코데이/금요일엔 비비큐/일요일 아침엔 팬케잌 무료 같은 자체적으로 하는 행사(?)도 있어서 저는 정말 좋았습니다

男女混合の部屋に泊まったが、女性が私1人でした。少し不安でしたが、問題なく過ごせました。キッチンなどの共有スペースは少し使いづらいですが、問題ないです。朝食が食べられるのは助かりました。料金は相場は分からないですが、私は安く泊まることが出来ました。

The facilities were obviously very old, there were other patrons shouting very loudly well after midnight, the communal fridges looked very unclean and smelled like off food. Additionally, the elevator wasn't very efficient and took ages to move one floor, the other patrons wouldn't handover the use of the TV to anyone else. The bathrooms had no racks or shelves to place toiletries or clothes, and the bed was extraordinarily squeaky. As well as other roommates sleeping all day long, preventing adequate lighting and a sense of unwelcomeness.

共通エリア、特にシャワールームやトイレなど水回りが汚い。もう少し頻繁に掃除をして欲しい。また、シャワーの水が冷たい水しか出なかった。冬は寒いと思う。

立地は良い。しかし、先に支払っているにも関わらず、さらに払わされそうになった。部屋、トイレ、シャワーは綺麗だが、雨漏りしていた。また、窓が壊れていたため、ルームメイトが寒さで風邪をひいてしまい、寝込んでいた。
