The price seems reasonable, and other reviews have already covered the good points. A few things really bothered me, though. The soundproofing was poor. I could hear loud music from other rooms even around midnight, so I understand why they leave earplugs by the bed. During my two-night stay, the housekeeping staff also sang and played music loudly while cleaning during the day, which was extremely annoying. There were no slippers at all. The pre-arrival Line message didn’t mention that, even though toothbrushes were provided, and I don’t understand the choice. Regulations don’t prohibit slippers, and in winter the floor gets freezing cold, which makes the room much less comfortable.

The room was spotless and felt brand new, with a great layout, a little sofa, mini-fridge, and balcony. I especially liked the soft lighting and the four pillows on the bed, which worked well for sitting up or sleeping. The heated bathroom was so comfortable. Check-in uses machines, so you don’t have to deal with the front desk directly. That seems ideal for solo travelers. There’s a water dispenser in the lobby for late-night refills, and customer service was quick to help whenever needed. Highly recommend!

For a little over 1000 yuan a night through Agoda, I thought this was excellent value. It was my first time in an unmanned guesthouse, and the free luggage lockers by the entrance were really handy. Check-in started at 3 PM. I followed the machine’s instructions, paid a 100 yuan deposit, and got my room key. Questions could be sent through Line, and the replies came very quickly. At 11 PM, check-out took just a few taps and the deposit was refunded. The room was tidy, the bed very soft, and the bathroom had heating. I’d recommend it!

There are plenty of restaurants around, and convenience stores are close by. I was happy with the stay overall. The self check-in made arrival easy at any time, and the room was bright and clean, with a comfortable bed, double sofa, and TV with YouTube and Netflix. We hit a cold snap, but both the room and bathroom had heating. The bathroom unit could heat and dry, which was great. One small suggestion: a thermos in the room would be useful, so I could fill it downstairs and bring it up.
