とても安くて、共通利用の洗面台もトイレもシャワー室も綺麗

壁が薄く、ドアから声がだいぶ漏れてしまうので気をつけてください

DİKKAT ! LÜTFEN AÇIKLAMAMI İYİ OKUYUN! Daha önce buradan daha az temiz ve konumu daha kötü yerlerde kaldım ama personel hep iyidi. Ve o mekanlara 4-5 puan verebilirsiniz çünkü personel saygılı. Sabah 7 de Kyotoya otobüs ile vardık. Saat 8:30 8:00 gibi ( sabah) otele vardık ve öncesinde valizimizi bırakabilmek için booking.com üzerinden konuştuk ve anlaştık. Hotele girdik fakat daha öncedende kötü yorum alan resepsiyon erkek çalışan bizede denk gelmiş. Fotoğrafınıda oradan aldım ki ; Gelecek müşteriler bilsin. Tokyodan otobüsle 10 saat yol geldiğimiz için ve odaya daha check in yapamayacağımızdan dolayı haliyle Eşim üstünü değiştirmek istedi ve personel WC nin müsait olduğunu belirtti ve 5 dakika bize süre verdi. Personelin tavırları ve Hareketleri zaten sevimsizdi ve eşim daha üstünü değiştirmeden gitmek istedi. Bende kendisini sakinleştirip WC de üst değiştirmesi için ikna ettim. Eşimden sonra bende üstümü değiştirdim , o esnada eşim ortak alanda saçını yapmaya başladı. ( biz zaten bir kaç saat sonra oraya check in yapacağız ve sırada bekleyen kimse yok.) orada 5-6 kişilik yer var ve kimse yok. Kimsenin sırasını almadık. Müsaitti ve eşim aynası olan ortak alanda saçını yapması üzerine bu personel sinirlendi ve derhal çıkamızı söyledi. Eşimde bu stres altında ağlamaya başladı, çünkü hem adam girip çıkıyor kontrol ediyor (rahatsızlık veriyor) hem ben tatsızlık çıkmaması adına eşime biraz hızlı olmasını istediğim için baskı kurulmuş hissetti ve ağlamaya başladı ve artık gerçekten başka yerde kalmak istedi . Onu tekrar sakinleştirdim çünkü bir gece için yeni bir yer bakmak zaman kaybı olacaktı . Sadece bir gece olduğu için yapılan saygısızlığı idare ettim. Personelin bu saygısız tutumu tüm günümüzü mahvetti. Çok saygısızca buldum sonuçta fiziksel bir hizmet veriyorsanız bunu karşı tarafada iyi yansıtmalısınız. Ben kendimde Airbnb işletmesi yaptım ve 12-13 daire idare ettim ortağımla beraber .
