The bathroom stinks really bad! It looks kind of clean but the smell is just unacceptable. When i checked in they there was a mug with mold in my capsule! If you are planing on saving some money and eating at the hostel don't count on it. There is no kettle nor microwave to make your food warm.

チェックインの時しか関わりはありませんでしたがスタッフさんがとても感じよかったです。金庫がベット付近にあると良かったかなって思いました。入口でタバコを吸ってる外国人の方がいたので嫌でした。
