We had a room on the 3rd floor, yet we could still hear the street noise very loudly as windows were very thin. Breakfast was poor as we are vegan.

Experiencia Jacal

Buenas experiencia, pero falta de coordinación entre la administración y los portales de reserva ... llamar antes para asegurar precios y confirmar reserva... Sugiero mas limpieza por las noches en los servicios higiénicos ya que son compartidos.

平價可接受的住宿

熱水很足但是房間較小，老闆老闆娘很熱情但是英文不太通。早餐很簡單且份量少，含一份小小的炒蛋。Wifi速度不快，房間隔音普普。要注意浴室廁所是共用的，髒亂程度不一定。我離開前有寄放行李，要求洗澡需要收費5索爾。
