This is a review about a simple hotel that I stayed at with a friend the other day. At first, I was surprised by how clean this hotel was. From the lobby to the guest rooms, everything was clean and tidy, and I had a comfortable stay. The bathroom in particular was spotless and looked like it had been newly built.Additionally, it is worth mentioning that the service is good. All the staff were friendly and everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. They gave me detailed information about sightseeing spots and restaurants, and I felt at ease as if I was being shown around by a local friend.This simple hotel offers high quality service at a reasonable price, and we felt it deserved its 4.8/5 star rating. If you are traveling or on a business trip, please give it a try. We are sure you will have a satisfying stay.

I live with my landlord, so he says a lot of things to me.The handrails on the stairs are rough with dust, the kitchen floor is rough, the kitchen ventilation fan is covered in oil, the drain in the shower room is too dirty and sticky, the clothes dryer is full of dust, and the washing machine is probably dirty too. I think.There was no welcome drink, and when I, a guest, was boiling some oolong tea, he asked me if it was barley tea, and when I answered oolong tea, he looked disappointed.I thought, "No, it's just your job, isn't it?"They don't really do anything, but they impose their house rules on guests, stay in their rooms until it's time for lights out, and pressure them to go to bed early.Looking at the reviews on Google Maps, it seems that there were some conflicts with other guests, and that's exactly what happened.I do not recommend it if you are looking for good service.

As others have stated, the written rules are simply too much, No kitchen after 23:30, Quick shower, Don't jump on the 2nd floor, etc. The owner is not as bad as I thought. The location seems far from any train stations and convenience stores, if you want to live like a local this may be the right accommodation for you.

The owner was very rude with us. He entered the room withOut knocking the door more than three times. We did not feel safe in the room with him entering like that. We felt controlled since the first moment. This is also his house so he was checking on us all the time, there were other attitudes from him that were making us very uncomfortable. He entered and told us to remove out things from the ONLY common furniture (tiny table) in the room, and told us to put all our things in the bed, because in the table they couldn’t be. We asked him how are we supposed to put them in the bed? What are the common spaces for? He started to take our things and move them, telling us with a very loud voice (at 11pm) that if we don’t accept his rules we should leave. Of course we left, and we request the full refund of this two nights because there was no way we could be okay and feel safe with this rude and aggressive owner. It was very hard for us to find a hotel at 11pm and we are going to spend money we weren’t planning to and this is very upsetting
