Odaların çok küçük olması dışında iyi bir otel
Pros:

Konumu güzel ve metro istasyonuna yakındı

Cons:

Odalar çok küçük 3 kişi aynı anda hareket edemedik. Dolabı zaten geçtim ama valiz koymaya bile yer bulamadık odada. Çok zor oldu 3 kişi için

沒有想要在住宿上花太多錢的話很適合的青旅。
Pros:

地段佳，附近有不少店家和便利商店，叫車沒什麼太大問題，街道也很漂亮。
老闆很親切，也很樂意幫忙，不需要有太多接觸即便是半夜或清晨都可以自助完成入住和退房這點也很好。
電視花了一點時間研究出來能看。
房間雖然窄但算很漂亮溫馨。
有wifi，算是CP值還可以的一間旅館。

Cons:

其中一件被子上有怪怪的味道，牆上有奇怪的污漬，感覺清潔不是做得很好。
密碼看得出規律且房間沒有防盜鏈，有點危險所以不適合獨旅。
一樓有貓味?但房間裡沒有所以沒關係。

Pros:

L’hôtel est super bien placé et vraiment à proximité de tout ! Le soir les alentours sont animés donc c’est super si c’est ce qui est recherché.
Les espaces communs sont appréciés et l’accès aux machines à laver est un vrai plus, non négligeable.
Les employés sont très sympas et présent en cas de besoin.

Cons:

Les chambres sont un peu petites mais largement suffisantes pour 2.

Cons:

El olor de la habitación es horrible, el aire acondicionado funcionaba mal. El baño goteaba todo el rato y la humedad invadía la habitación. Manchas de humedad en el techo. Deja mucho que desear.
