We did not stay for even a night after we saw the dirty room that also just got prepared for 1 person. The accommodation and neighbourhood looked shady and we did not feel comfortable at all.

There are no lifts (5th floor, using stairs for 3 days). There are no hot/warm water in shower. It's always too hot in shower/lavatory. You can't block people from opening door in lavatory when you are using it. There are some strange smell in the very small room. Maybe to use this hostel for only 1 night would be OK, but living for 3 days was just a hell, for a price like it was at least 3 stars hotel.

“Perfect for solo traveler”
What we liked the most was the breakfast! Toasts, coffee and a boiled egg included in the room price was awesome. The woman serving the food was very nice and they had a sunny terrace where to eat your breakfast. We also liked the bed and the pillow, they were very comfortable. However, the room we booked was too narrow and the bed too small for two people. The bedroom was clean and the shared bathroom and shower, too.

“Cozy stay with breakfast near China-town”
The hotel is very close to China town. The staff is so kind, the breakfast was the best, some toast breads with different mermelade, a bolied egg and a drink of your preference (tea, juice or coffe). My friends and I booked a regular room and a futon bed room, we didn't know how was it like but the futon bed was really comfortable! The rooms have air conditioner/heater. Toilets, showers and a kitchen are shared with the other guests. The hotel is the 4th floor of a building (if I remember well) and the 1st floor of the bulding (Not the hotel) smells a bit like smoke, but the floor of the hotel is allrigth. I think for the price is very good, and definetly cheaper than staying in Tokyo for example.

The room has a very strong smell. Not sure what it was, maybe humidity, or accumulation of different travellers. This could have been my own perception, not everyone’s problem.. but it was difficult for me to be in the room and sleep. Staff was very nice !
