Safe accommodation for solo female
Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.
