Everything was very clean and the staff were helpful in checking me in. I let them know in advance I would be late and they guided me. It was also useful to have a convenience store nearby.

ひとりで訪れて初めてのドミトリーだったので心配でしたが、ベッドは１人１台ずつ木の仕切とカーテンで区切られていて、夜も明かりが漏れることなくリラックスして寝られました。 ドミトリー部屋に入る鍵や、シャワースペースもセキュリティがしっかりしていて女性ひとりでも安心して過ごせました。 シャワースペースにはシャンプー・トリートメント・ボディソープが備えてあり、ヒノキの香りがとても気に入りました。 タオルや室内履きがあるのも助かりました。 朝食のコーヒーが美味しいです！ 駅から歩くと少し坂道もありますが、夜でも街灯があって安心して辿り着けました。
