Safe accommodation for solo female
Hope the property can remind guests to close the doors gently or install soft closing door knobs. And would hope there's Japanese breakfast choice install of just 3 choice of sandwiches breakfast set. Hope the property can consider installing coin operated massage chair in the lobby. Love having new set of towels everyday. Well done! And it's a safe accommodation for solo female with designated floor for ladies with bathroom and toilet. Location is convenient to tourist spot. Would definitely stay again.

Stayed for 4 days and really enjoyed the clean spaces, good amenities like coin laundry amd microwave, and small things like good shampoo and soap in the shower, free to use. It's like a very fancy, very clean hostel where you get your own room.

The room was very comfortable and quiet. The shared areas were not always clean, but that is because of the guests not cleaning up after themselves. I saw staff cleaning the bathroom area several times a day, so they did their best. The lounge area downstairs is comfortable and has good information about the area.

I cannot stress enough just how clean this place is. Everything is super clean and modern. Room key cards are used to access shared bathrooms and showers, adding a layer of security. Fantastic amenities! Toothbrush and toothpaste is provided, and there is coin laundry on site. Staff is super nice! You can tell a lot of care goes into this property!

I was happy to have a private room for privacy. It is really a small room but quite comfortable.
Sometimes I had to wait to use common shower.

My second stay here. Great location, good value for money and the hotel is clean.
The room is super small (basically just the bed and have many strange rules and fees (new towels you can order only until 10AM,showers are closed after noon, penalty for every 30 mins of late check-out…).
But overall good and I would stay again.
