8/10 Very good

보통
2박 이용했는데 수건을 인당 1개씩만 줌. 추가하려면 200엔을 지불해야함. 2인실은 딱 잠만자기엔 적당했고, 샤워실과 화장실은 깨끗해서 좋았음 가성비가 좋은지는 모르겠다

一人旅でも楽しく過ごせる
個室はスクリーン一枚で廊下と仕切られていましたが、 とても静かで、落ち着いて過ごせたました。静かすぎるくらいで、自分の出す音に警戒していました。 1階のキッチンも冷蔵庫や調理道具、食器もきれいに用意されていて、とても使いやすかったです。 ラウンジでは、ほかの宿泊者や、スタッフと話ができたので、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました。

スタッフの対応や説明は大変良く、寝具も快適でした。お客さん同士もお互いがウェルカムな雰囲気で過ごしやすかったです。 利用日が雨の日だったため、屋外の喫煙所に屋根やパラソルがあると良かったかも。 またシングルは施錠がないため、不安に思う方もいるかもしれません。 ありがとうございました。またお世話になります。
