確かに値段は安いかもしれない。 悪い点は挙げればきりがないが、以下のとおり。 冬にかかわらず、掃除が行き届いておらず、虫が出た。 また電気関係の配線設備が剥き出しなど。 またフロントのスタッフも極めて無愛想で、二度と泊まりたくない宿。 良かった点は、唯一シャワーのお湯の出がよいところぐらいか。

CP值高的飯店

已是第二次入住，整體很讚，可惜開動空調後就聞到一絲絲的香菸味，還好氣溫不高，不開動也可以；其次就是馬桶的按水制先天性過低，不太user friendly!

フロントに常駐している方々＆他のスタッフの方々も皆、親切で、困った事が有れば通訳アプリ等を使って、問題を解決してくれます。 室内(家具等の設備)の古さは、私個人としては気になりませんでしたし、過去の良い時代な感じ＆雰囲気もまた良いかなと。 それと照明のスイッチはベッド付近に集約されているので、ご確認を。
