I recommend this place for affordability and location. Much cheaper than a hotel, and the double bed-room was comfortable. Some of the finishes were a little worn, but for a hostel, I can't complain. I recommend for solo travelers.

Mein Zimmer war im Keller es hat bisschen komisch gerochen aber war noch okay. In meinem Zimmer waren wir 14 Leute bzw gab es so viel Betten und es gab nur ein Badezimmer sehr wenig für so viel Leute. Küchen Ausstattung als Frühstück war Nix besonderes Instant Nudeln, Eier ,Toast, Tee, Kaffeepulver und erdnüssbutter. Für so 3 Nächte ist eigentlich okay. Ich finde das Hostel kann auch renoviert werden bisschen damit es besser aussieht von innen. Es gab ein laundry Service das ist gut.

一般の方は泊まれない宿だと思います。

非常に不潔で不快な宿です。 汚物がトイレ内に散乱していたり、部屋も清掃されてないです。 個室はもしかしたらもう少し快適かもしれませんが、ホテル(?)内がそもそも臭いので快適に過ごせるとは思えません。 相当な覚悟がある方は泊まってみると良いです。
