初めて、ドミトリーに泊まったが部屋も広くバスルームも3つあって綺麗で使いやすかった。 朝食もついていたが、満足できるものだったしオレンジジュースも美味しかった。 カーテンで完全に仕切られてはいないが周りから見えずらいようになっていたし、自分でタオルとかをかけたら気にならなかった。 ベッドが連結されているので左右の人が昇り降りしたり寝返り打つと軋む音がする。 わたしはたいして気にならなかった。

아침 조식 너무 맛있었고 직접 만든 호박잼도 넘 좋았습니다 가격이 합리적이기 때문에 혼자 가기 좋은듯하고 위치는 좀 힘들어요 언덕..

There was a teatime service and happy hour, and the lounge and dormitory were very comfortable. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious!

The location is great, great atmosphere. The views are incredible. But there are also downsides: weak internet signal and the feeling of an earthquake when someone in the room leaves or lies down on the bed.
