男女共同べやから、女性専用部屋にキャンセルが出たとのことで、移動させてもらうことがらできました。 その気遣いが、とても嬉しかったです。 ただ一つだけ言うならは、ベットの上段になるのか下段なのかの情報も欲しかったです。 その他は、スタッフの対応も清潔面でも 何段的に、申し分ないくらいちゃんとしたホステルでした^_^

シャワールーム

何回も宿泊させていただいており、大変満足しています。 もし1つ小さなことですが、改善できることがあるとすれば、シャワールームの赤かびが気になりました。 1週間に1度でも清掃するとより気持ちよくシャワーを浴びれると思います！

ベッドスペースが広い！ベッドの作りがしっかりしていたので上段を使用していても軋み音があまりしなかったので、良かったです。部屋は結構人がいましたが、洗面やシャワー室もいくつかあって、待つことなく使いやすかったです。部屋内の空調が強めでしたが、部屋全体に効くようにするには仕方がないのかなと思いました。無理貸出にブランケットがあったので、寒い場合は借りるとよいのかもしれません。綺麗でこのお値段で、とても満足です！
