    シンプルで可愛らしいお部屋でした。 鍵も建物、フロア、部屋ごとに違っていてセキュリティも安心です。 海外のシャワーの排水は悪いところが多いですし、ゲストハウスでもあるため覚悟をして行きましたが、全く気になりませんでした。というより、ちょっとしたホテルよりも排水もシャワーの水量もしっかりあって満足です。 コンセントも変換用のものが部屋に置いてあってうれしい驚きでした！ 床もオンドルが効いているのか、冷たくなく、かと言って熱すぎることもなく、ほどよかったです。 フロアにフリーの温冷のウォーターサーバーもあり、便利！ 食堂は雑多な感じですが、電子レンジやお湯も自由に使えるので、節約派にも使い勝手がいいと思います（徒歩１分にコンビニあり）。 日本語、英語で対応いただけて助かりました！ とても気遣いのある宿だなぁと思います！…
