도미토리 형식이고요 2층에 다 있어요 혼숙이고 2층침대 10개정도? 있구요 여사장님이시고 친절하세요 일본어만 하시구요 주변은 상가인데 노후되어서 많이 없어요 (바로앞에 식당있는데 가츠동 먹어봤는데 맛있구요) 전반적으로 좁긴했지만 깔끔하고 잠자는데 문제 없었어요 티비채널은 6개정도 나오구요-일본방송- 수건 물 전반적인건 다 돈 받아요 100엔정도? 지하철 다이쇼역이 마지막 역이라 그냥 타고 오면 끝이라서 편했어요 난바 신시바야시 도톤보리 등 가는데도 편했구요 jr 간쿠쾌속이나 히네노로가서 갈아타든지하면되서 공항가기도 편했구요 가격이 모든걸 용서해줘요
근데 도미토리에서 코를 심하게 고는분 만나거나 매너없으신분들 만나면 좀 힘들죠 숙소는 굉장히 만족합니다. 샤워실 화장실은 하나인데 그렇게 붐비지 않았어요 세면대는 따로 네개정도?있구요
남자분들은 모두 다 만족하실꺼같은데 여성분들은 샤워실이나 화장실때문에 꺼려하실수 있을꺼같아요 아 숙박하는곳 사진은 못찍게 되있어요 사진은 없어요 침대가 나무에 두꺼운 이불 깔아놔서 침대의 폭신함만큼은 아니겠지만 저는 바닥체질이라 잘 잤어요 제키가 175인데 180되시는분은 아래로 발이 닿으실수 있습니다. 아무튼 전반적으로 모두 만족스러웠습니다. 특히 가격! 가격 생각하시면 이런 숙소 없다 싶으실수도 ㅎ 이상입니다.
Typical, clean hostel, lovely manager (once she gets to know you), great company - so so area (really only good for its proximity to universal studios). The dorm is just one huge room with heaps of bunk beds - not very private, and the common room is quite small, but that makes for extra friendliness and mingling potential.
The hostel is located 10-15 minutes away from Taisho station - JR Osaka Loop Line and another line connect to it. It is quite convenient to go anywhere using those two lines except when you are going to Namba. It is a station away to the Kyocera Dome and/or a mall (20-30 minutes by walking).
We found the hostel around 10 AM in the morning and it wasn't open, we had to knock several times and when the management opened the door, they seemed quite surprised that we were there. I explained that we were there to leave our bags and check-in later that day as check-in starts at 3PM. The common room nor the reception has no space to leave our bags so we were escorted to our beds where we left our bags and we were asked to leave and come back in the afternoon.
There are 13 double deck beds cramped into a very small space.There was around half a meter distance between some of the beds. I can smell that the beddings aren't usually washed as I my blanket and pillow possesses some funky smell (it wasn't strong but still can smell it).There is also one toilet and one bathroom and the urinal which is half a square meter (go figure-I though it was inovatv).There are so many rules and it seemed very restrictive.
It is very difficult to connect to their wi-fi. It is by luck that you can connect to it and when you do, you probably have a few minutes before getting disconnected from it again.
The staff seemed nice. They were not always at the reception and they have very limited English.
Les matelas sont tellement fins que l'on sent la structure en bois et il n'y a qu'une seule douche pour tout le dortoir. Nous y avons passés 2 horribles nuits avec mon ami. Je déconseille fortement cet établissement.
Il vaut mieux réserver un logement à Kyoto, pour le même prix vous trouverez mieux et le trajet en train n'est pas si cher.
