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! 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！

Perfect staff and bad hostel condition

Overall the hostel was ok. The personal was very friendly and wanted to help us every time. Unfortunately some things are in a bad condition like the ladder of our beds, the lights of the toilet, the shower, etc.

Did not like it at all. I was getting bit by mosquitoes or bed bugs or something the whole time ( I ended up leaving and going somewhere else even though I didn't get my money back, was not worth it). BAthrooms are nasty, never clean, no soap in the bathrooms. Rooms are tiny, no space to even stand with other people in the room. The bunk beds are not sturdy or held to anything so it felt like it was going to fall on top of me like a book case when climbing up.

최악의 시설, 최악의 서비스

지금까지 여행중 최악의 숙박시설이었다. 침대는 삐꺽거리고, 공동화장실은 지저분하고 냄새가 났으며 샤워시설은 물이 졸졸 흐르고 단체 4인방을 예약했는데 3일간 단 1장의 타올만 제공했다. 전반적으로 너무 오래된 건물인데다가 시설에 대한 투자를 전혀 안하고 위치가 좋은 점 하나만 내세워 배짱 영업을 하고 있다. 다신 가고싶지 않은 숙박시설. 제공된 아침 식사는 토스트와 커피. 그게 다였다. 그다지 싸지도 않은 가격을 받고 어떻게 저런 영업을 하고있는 지 의문이 들 정도로 열악한 시설이다. 절대 가선 안될 곳으로 평가함
