私が英語があまりできないためか受付スタッフの対応があまり良くありませんでした。 部屋の設備の中にタオルが書いてありましたがそれは有料でした。 外観は古かったですが部屋自体はそれほど古いとは思いませんでした。 ただ、窓から隙間風が入りヒーターをMAXにしても寒かったです。 すぐ近くにアートセンターや公園があり、観光スポットにも歩いて行けたため立地は良かったと思います。

Had a very comfortable and convenient 4 day stay in female 4 bed ensuit room. Everything was great. Only issue I had was the noise coming from closing of doors out of other rooms with bangs and loud noises in the middle of the night other than that I had a lovely stay. I would highly recommend it.
