Loved the hotel's vibe, and being able to reserve a private bath was great. There's a recreation room too. The room is small, but worth the price.

The room was good, and so was the bath. My one issue is that there isn't much choice for breakfast.

The price is high, but the place is neat and tidy.

The station is nearby, which makes getting around easy, though the hostel faces a city street and isn't especially tall, so there's not much of a night view to expect. We really enjoyed the dinner we had booked. The room was another story: it smelled moldy, though I can't tell whether that was from dust or pollen. My friends started sneezing more than they had outdoors and had runny noses. Several of us ended up congested and breathing poorly, so we barely slept, with labored breathing audible through the night. The room also held onto heat because it was poorly ventilated, and felt hot even in winter while wearing underwear. I'd suggest using a cleaner for house dust and airing the room thoroughly after arriving. The setup was self-service, with futon-like mattresses on the floor. Some sheets still had solid bits stuck to them, which was disappointing. The large public bath had no lockers, which raised a security concern, though I didn't find the bath itself too bad. For the price, I'd recommend it to people focused mainly on affordability.
