If you’re looking for a clean, safe and well maintained accommodation. This is it. The area around it doesn’t have much to offer during the evening. It’s in an expensive shopping area and a stores in close up early. It is close to the train station. I didn’t really enjoy it because it seems mostly functional as opposed to warm and welcoming, but it certainly was convenient.

私の泊まった部屋は女子専用のカプセルホテルのような感じでした。 上の段にも行きやすく、バスタオル、タオルもあってシャワールーム、トイレ、洗面いずれも清潔で心地よかった。 いちばん気に入ったのは3階の大テーブル ここでご飯を食べたり、少しのコミュニケーションをとったり居心地が良かった。 近くでは唐津くんちの練習の音色が聴こえてきてワクワクした。駅近でとても良かった。

県外に住んでいますが唐津出身なので場所だけは知ってました。今回、立地が便利で同窓会に出席のため初めて宿泊をさせていただきました。 シングルルームに泊まりたかったのですが、空室がなくドミトリールームしかありませんでした。「仕方ない。どうせ遅くなるから寝るだけで充分」と、宿泊を決めました。 が、結果とてもよかったです！ こちらの事情にも柔軟に対応いただけ、スタッフさんの対応がとても丁寧でした。 空気清浄機や、空調もよく、静かな環境でオシャレ。 特に、寝具はとても気持ちよくて、快眠で朝もスッキリ起きれました。 またこちらにお世話になろうと思いました。

初めてのドミトリーでしたが快適に過ごせました。シャワーやランドリーの設備も充実でした。駅からのアクセスも立地も申し分無しです。スタッフの方のホスピタリティも高く感謝です。お世話になりました。
