Nice big space with big beds. Great shower pressure. Close to transit, but not a lot of restaurant picks. You will be travelling to tourist sites. Very clean. No view.

Liked: Amenities
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Note it looks like a small takeout restaurant when you look in the door, but there is a wooden sign out front that says guesthouse in small letters. Each floor is a separate room. Good WiFi. Many small paid parking lots within a block of the property. Many restaurants nearby.

家族で利用させていただきました。繁華街からもそこまで遠くなく立地はいいと感じました。大通り沿いということもあり、少々手荒な運転の音は気になりましたが、疲れが優ってあまり気になりませんでした。今度もぜひ利用したいなと思います。

전체적으로 깔끔한 편이었고 지하철역과 버스정류장, 란덴열차역이 근처에 있어서 편리했어요. 방상태도 괜찮았고 넓어서 좋았는데, 한가지 안좋은 점은 1층 식당에서인지 사장님이신지 여튼 1층 실내에서 누군가가 담배를 엄청 피워서 1층 전체와 엘레베이터, 숙소 방문앞까지 담배냄새가 가득한 점이에요.
