スタッフとロケーションは最高。少し気になる点はあったが、ぜひまた利用したい。
Pros:

地下鉄の駅からすぐで、周囲にコンビニやお店も多く、観光にとても便利でした。
スタッフの方の対応が丁寧で安心できました。WiFi もシャワーも快適でした。

Cons:

入り口入ってすぐの、通気孔カバーにたまったホコリと、換気扇浴室に換気扇がないこと(←たぶん)、浴室の木のドア枠のカビが、気になりました。
あと、全身が写る鏡があるといいなーと思いました。

Pros:

Location is very good, and all nearby stations and attractions are a 5–10 minute walk away. All appliances in the room were in good working condition.

Cons:

Breakfast is very basic with not many options to choose from. It might be better not to include breakfast.

Not sure we would stay here again
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

They only give you one key to each room and if it accidentally closes with the key inside, it’s a big deal to have management come and open it.
