tutto sommato positivo e un buon rapporto qualità prezzo
Pros:

La posizione.

Cons:

per la colazione Solo caffè espresso o americano disponibile. Per fortuna di fronte c'è tous les jour e prendevo pane o altro. La stanza per 2 persone davvero piccola, le borse andavano sotto il letto, poche grucce per appendere

Faulty ceiling
Pros:

Good location and a good price.

Cons:

I woke up to water dripping on me from the ceiling. The entire bed became drenched and I had to take a shower as a result. I would not have booked this place if I knew that I would have received a surprise shower.

Pros:

駅から近く、江南にも歩いて行けるので立地はとても良かったです。
チェックインも気軽にでき、タオルや水が常時置いてあるのも助かりました。
ロビーのラーメンやシリアルは食べませんでしたが、何か食べるものが用意されているのは安心しました。

Cons:

他の方の口コミにもありますが、やはり階段がつらい。
1〜2階に誰でも使える公衆トイレ？があるので、使用中に通るのが苦しかったです…。
シャワーも確実に便座が濡れますので、タオルを被せて入りました。

とても満足で
Pros:

清潔だった。カップラーメンや袋ラーメンがありコーヒー、お茶もあって帰りが遅かった日は助かりました。タオルや水もたくさん予備があって、洗濯機や洗剤もあり不自由なく過ごせました。

Cons:

部屋が狭く窓も小さいので圧迫感があった

また泊まりたいぐらい満足
Pros:

暗証番号式の出入り口なので鍵を持つ必要がなく、チェックイン、チェックアウトの手続きもなく、とにかく楽！荷物預けたりも勝手に置いておく感じで、スタッフさんがいなくてもすべてクリアできるので、時間の融通もきく。
キッチンスペースは清潔で、無料ラーメンやドリンク、ウォーターサーバーあり。タオルやトイレットペーパーなども予備が置いてあって安心。出先から戻るのが深夜になっても、静かにキッチンを使える。私が宿泊した際は、部屋がキッチンから近かったにもかかわらず、まったく騒音はありませんでした。シャワーとトイレは、韓国式の同じスペースで、ビショビショになるタイプですが、全然許容範囲。トイレットペーパーが濡れないようにだけ、シャワー中はホルダーから外して他所においておけば問題なし。シャワーヘッドを持って向きを調整して浴びればさらに良し。スリッパ（ゴム製？）が洗面台の下にある。
ベッドも十分に大きく清潔、ベッドサイドに机と椅子があり、便利！
部屋の冷蔵庫も使えるし、ペットボトルの水が2本、冷蔵庫に用意されている。

Cons:

あえて言うならば、洗面台が少し小さめ、顔を洗う時に周りを濡らしそうになる。
手洗い用のソープがない。
階段しかないので、足腰が悪い方には不向き。荷物持って階段あがる体力が必要。
