In accommodations at this price, there is a single room, a shared bathroom, there is a shared bathroom (separate times for men and women), separate private bathrooms (separate for men and women). Overall, it's okay. Surrounded by 7-Eleven and Family Mart. Eat a lot, have a lot of locals, have the opportunity to stay again. The receptionist can speak English. Everyone is super cute.

Visited on Friday, October 11, 2024.Book online and the cost is approximately ¥1,800 for a Japanese-style smoking room.When staying at the property, a separate deposit of ¥1,000 is required at the front desk, which will be refunded upon check-out.When you check in, you will be given a key and air conditioner remote control at the front desk.I was instructed to take off my shoes and take them to my room.The public bath is open at different times, and there are two shower rooms for men and women.To use the shower room, you will need to borrow a shower room key in exchange for your room key.The inside of the shower room is dirty and unsanitary with water mold.Shampoo and body soap are available.There are no hair dryers or towels.【room】Regarding the bedding, the pillows are bead-shaped and a regular rice cracker futon.A small old desk has earphones and a TV remote control, four hangers, and blackout curtains.There is also a small refrigerator and TV installed near the entrance.There may be a lack of electricity, or the electricity in the room will momentarily weaken every time the refrigerator starts.The walls were thin, and the voices of the foreigners next door talking until midnight, as well as the voices of cars and passersby outside, were noisy.The tatami mats were dirty and I was worried that there might be bed bugs. Luckily he wasn't there this time.Free Wi-Fi is extremely slow. Basically it doesn't connect.【summary】It's good for staying cheaply, but it's worth the price.Also, on a personal note, even though I had booked a bedroom, I was given a Japanese-style room with a futon.I contacted the front desk, but they didn't apologize and said they couldn't help. I will not use it at all in the future.

Women are grouped together within easy reach in the manager's room on the first floor. There is a standing mirror in the room, and the women's washroom is also clean.The entrance smells from the shoes of regulars, but other than that I think it's a good place to stay.Women are also allowed in the bathhouse, but it is not recommended for hygiene reasons. If you want to soak in hot water, we recommend using a nearby public bath. For 520 yen, you can take a clean and comfortable bath.

1. There are many cheap single-room hotels in Xicheng District, and Hexiang is one of them, but its scale is much larger. There are guest rooms on the 2nd to 7th floors, and there is an open-air clothes drying area on the 7th floor.2. You need to pay a deposit of ¥1,000 when checking in in exchange for the room key and air-conditioning remote control. Get the same thing back when you check out. There is someone at the front desk 24 hours a day, so you don’t have to worry about getting your deposit back if you check out early in the morning.3. Although the Panasonic split air conditioner is used, it is very dirty inside and the filter has never been washed. This should be a common problem in every household. Take advantage of the free time to clean it yourself. When I lifted up the filter, I saw that the evaporator was also horribly dirty. If I hadn't only stayed for one night, I would have bought an air conditioner cleaning spray to deal with it. Therefore, the blown air may be uncomfortable for the nose.4. There are microwaves on each floor, which is very considerate. The toilets also have sterilizing mousse for hand washing. The large bathing area is equipped with shampoo and shower gel, and there is a free hair dryer outside. The water dispenser has not been repaired since it broke down, so you need to buy water yourself.5. Hexiang does not come with towels, toothbrushes and toothpaste, so it is recommended to bring your own. As for the photos, other guides have already shared them pretty much and only attached the check-in instructions for your reference.6. The free wireless network has several SSIDs to choose from, choose the one with the fastest speed in your room.

There is a front desk staff 24 hours a day, security cameras are installed, you can lock the public bath (for women), and there is a women-only shower, toilet, and washroom, so you can feel safe. It stays clean every time I use it. There is also a coin laundry. Hotel employees and guests are also friendly. Showers are available 24 hours a day. The staff will also greet you and say good morning.
