Avoid at all costs

About a month before arrival, I attempted to contact the hostel to inform them that we would be arriving late at night. I called the listed phone number multiple times over several days, but no one answered. Eventually, someone picked up – a man claiming to be the cleaner – who proceeded to yell at me for calling what he claimed was an “emergency number.” He told me to use an email address that I was supposedly sent. When I explained that I had never received such an email, he refused to provide it. Hotels.com tried their best to assist and added a note to the booking stating we’d be arriving around midnight. Despite this, when we showed up on the day of arrival, the hostel was completely deserted. No staff were present, and the room we had booked was locked. We tried contacting another number and a Gmail address posted on a sign outside the building – but got no response. In the end, we were forced to crash on an available mattress in a dorm room just to have a roof over our heads for the night. We left first thing the next morning and checked into a proper hotel instead. Hotels.com went above and beyond to help us and, after multiple failed attempts to reach the hostel themselves, they refunded us in full. The hostel itself is not just utterly unprofessional – it’s small, dirty, and, in my opinion, a serious fire hazard. Tiny cramped rooms, luggage blocking hallways, and barely any visible emergency exits. Hotels.com gets 10 out of 10. The hostel? Zero

チェックインしてしまえば、 化粧室の利用含めて ホステルの出入りなど気兼ねなく許される。 宿泊最中は両者のトラブルも少なく、 ホテル側の宿泊者に対するサービスは、宿泊者側のprivateを守られていると感じ、更に 宿泊者側からも余計にサービスを求めない限り、ホステル側もストレス無くホテルサービスを行っていると感じる。 六本木店に関しては洗濯機が無く、コインランドリーの利用も徒歩での利用は困難である。 ただ、こちらも乾燥機が設置していない為に、女性は洗濯時には困る欠点はあるかも知れないがその他のストレスはほぼ無く利用可能。

きれいで安くて、一通りの設備がちゃんとそろっていて快適に過ごせました。 スタッフさんは15:00~21:00の間しか常駐してないのでやや不便はありますが、無理して働かないスタイルはアリかなーと。 ダイニングが狭いのはちょっと残念でした。
