The staff was great and very friendly, both receptionists I spoke to spoke English or spoke just enough to help me without an issue. If you're looking for a more quiet hotel that is still close to train and bus lines this is a great option for you. They can also hold your luggage for you if you enter before the check in time.

安く泊まりたい人にぴったり。サービスもコストに見合った最低限。清潔でこざっぱりした内容だけれど、必要なものは揃っているので、不便はない。 腰痛持ちの私には少々ベッドが硬めでしたが、それは自己コンディションなのでやむなし。立地は便利。地下鉄の駅も、バスも近く、自転車レンタルのステーションも近くにいくつかある。大通りを入ると静かな住宅街だけれど、朝食からバーまで徒歩圏内にいくつもあり、食事や買い物にも困らない。

朝食(パン)付きの予約取りました。600円分のチケットがもらえ、歩いて数分のパン屋さんでパンが選べます。1人3個選ぼうとするとチケット分では足りないので別途支払いになりますのでしっかり朝食取りたい方は素泊まりだけをおすすめします。ただ周りに食事できるとこはほんの数件です。
