The interior courtyard was very unique and cute; lots of plants and stringed lights. This is a good place if you want to be in a central location, and if you like socializing/partying with new people. It's not the quietest place, due mostly to the bars open late along Long Street. I stayed in January, and the room got fairly warm even with a window open (no AC or fans). The staff was friendly and helped me out with early check-in, as well as checking-out when I wasn't able to do so in-person before 12pm (I had to be out of the hostel before the office opened in the morning, and the staff were very accommodating in relocating my packed luggage to the storage room).

街中のホテル

街中で観光の行動に便利。朝食は無し。共有キッチンでの料理可能。 シングル部屋でしたが、トイレ・シャワーは、共有。石鹸が無く、催促した。 シャンプー含めて受付の男性が手配してくれた。 カギはデポジットで500R、チェックアウト時、交換返金してくれる。 受付の男性は物分かりの良い人です。
