写真とは全然違う!
Pros:

掲載されている写真とは程遠く部屋の壁紙はほぼ浮いていたりテープで貼り付けてあったりと酷くびっくり!
部屋に入ると小蝿・ゴキブリ、ベットにはダンゴムシが2匹! エアコンは汚すぎ使いませんでした。 部屋に殺虫剤が置いてあるので宿も虫が出るの分かっているのでしょう!

Pros:

It was listed as a hotel, but it’s actually a hostel—I was totally misled by the description and photos, and it wasn’t even cheap. You’d be better off booking a real hotel.

Pros:

It's located at the back of a dark alley, so it might be a little unsettling at night.

Pros:

立地は素晴らしいが、施設がそこそこ古い。
壁の一角には黒カビが、換気が悪い感じ。
バスタブは無く、トイレの横でシャワーだが、シャワーを壁に掛ける物もなく、手で持つしかない。
清掃は行き届いていた、廊下には荷物用の重量計もある。
料金相応のホテルでした。

Superb
Pros:

Really close to the subway, rooms are clean and comfortable. If you are cold you have your own heater. Also the staff is helpful.

Cons:

The walls are really thin so if you are unlucky and have noisy neighbors you will hear them well.
