The location and price are good, but the bathroom is too narrow and low.When a 160cm tall woman raised her hand to wash her hair, the back of her hand kept touching...the bathroom smelled like sewage.The location is close to the station and the price is cheap.

The room was perfect as it was close to the station, and although it was a single room, it was large enough to accommodate my suitcase, and the cleanliness was perfect. …

The price, location, and service are perfect.However, there is clearly not enough coin laundry in the hotel for the number of guests.Since there are only two of them, they are being used one after another from late afternoon until late at night, so it's never your turn.Unlike other hotels, it is not possible to check the coin laundry usage status on the TV in the room, so you have to go directly to the coin laundry, which results in a loss of time.This may be one of the reasons why laundromats are so crowded.I'm surprised to see people stuck to the washing machine while using the laundromat.The coin laundry, vending machine, and microwave are only in the basement, so it's small, and I'd like something to be done about the number of washing machines.A group of Asian foreigners were noisy until midnight.It's a shame because anything other than these would be perfect.

I stayed here without meals, but the unit bath was extremely smelly. There's a mysterious odor. The bathtub was also clogged, and the flow was slow, and the shower water kept accumulating. It was the worst.

Hotels with large public baths are very helpful as it is a pain to boil water at a hotel. Just go to sleep when you get in.Also, I'm very grateful that VOD is free.There's also a drug store nearby...There are other APA hotels nearby, so be careful not to make a mistake.

I have been staying here many times a year since around 2018.Recently, the bathtub in the guest room has been dirty several times (scum floats when you turn on the hot water), but when I stayed there yesterday, I was sent to a room where there was a lot of dandruff on the bed sheets and pillowcases. I did. I didn't notice it at first, and only noticed it when I sat down on the bed to relax.I felt so sick that I looked around the whole room, and there was trash that wasn't mine on the edge of the desk, and there was dandruff all over the place.When I informed the front desk, they immediately came to my room and prepared an alternative room to resolve the issue, but...I was so horrified that I thought I wouldn't want to stay there next time.I think all the cleaning staff are doing their best, so I was really disappointed in the room this time...
