The facility still seems new and is clean overall.I felt that it was nice and easy to stay because there was a distance from the next room, so I didn't have to worry about it like I would at a hotel.Having a microwave in the room is very good for me, as I tend to eat prepared foods from the supermarket.

Great choice for drivers. Each room has its own parking spot right outside it. You can leave your stuff in the car and it'll be like having an extra storage room.Good air-con, great shower, clean, have pretty much everything you need. The stay even provided one frozen meal per person, and a microwave at the reception. The food didn't look very good and we didn't have it, but the thoughtful option is really appreciated.

Unlike a hotel, you don't have to worry about footsteps or shower noises because you only have one room, so it's stress-free. Everything was new so I had a comfortable stay. It also comes with frozen food for the day, so you can eat it in the morning or at night. Of course, there was a microwave in the room, so I was able to defrost it and eat it. It's nice that the refrigerator has separate freezer and freezer sections.The bed was just the right firmness so I didn't want to strain my back, so I was able to sleep comfortably.

Thank you for your courteous service even though we checked in late at night! Although it was full with many people staying there, it was very quiet and I was able to get a good rest! There is also an air conditioner and shampoo for the bath! I forgot to borrow it, but the loungewear is available at the reception! Coffee and tea are available 24 hours a day! I want to go again╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

The room was clean and comfortable.When I checked in and entered the room, I was happy to see that the air conditioner was already working.It would be helpful if the amenities included a set of basic cosmetics. Also, you won't know your room until you check in, so you'll have to park your car in an empty parking lot and move to the front of your room once you know your room, so there's a parking lot for check-in in front of the front desk. I thought it would be nice to have one.I was worried about where to park when I checked in.Also, there were restaurants nearby so I had a comfortable stay.

It was a new hostel and it was beautiful. Simple and reasonable. It was comfortable.The front desk staff was kind and polite.For breakfast, you can choose from 6 or 7 types of frozen meals.We have a fridge freezer that can freeze things properly, so you can get one when you check in.The switch is a dial type and is hard to turn.The air conditioner also works well. It has various functions, but there are no instructions, so I googled it.There are also air purifiers with humidifiers. Also, a hair dryer and a microwave.The rooms are eco-friendly, and tea and coffee are available at the front desk, and there are only pots and glasses in the rooms.Amenities and pajamas are also available at the front desk.Bath towels and towels only in the room.Pillows are thin and soft.The comforter is also thin and light.The mattress is hard.I think it's worth the price.I'm worried that it will become popular and the price will go up, but at the current price, I would like to use it again.
