Amazing staff”

Close to the train, very clean, great staff

The first thing i noticed was how ridiculously clean the floor was in the bedroom. The staff were always very helpful, despite sometimes having language barriers. If you plan on resting in the room diring the day there is no air conditioning from 9 pm to 9 am so take that into consideration. Overall i had a great stay here, if you're interested the owner is really into surfing and offers surf lessons

혼자 여행시 편안하게 머물시 있는 호텔”

1. 깨끗하다. 2. 동물을 좋아한다면 엄청 순한 개가 반겨준다. 3. 조용하다.

기차역에서 조금 떨어져 있지만 걸어서 15분 내외이므로 별 무리는 없다. 난 구정 때 머물러서 그런지 바베큐 파티를 열어 푸짐하게 숙박객에게 음식을 제공할 정도로 마음이 너그러운 주인이다. 도와주는 카운터 아르바이트 학생도 넘 사근사근 친절하고 청소와 시트도 깨끗하게 잘 교환해 준다. 얼짱(두번째 챔피언이라는 뜻) 이라는 노견이 터주대감처럼 카운터를 지키는데 너무 순해서 많이 쓰다듬어 주었다.

气氛不错,但很多地方需要调整”

房间大,网速快,干净

住的四楼女生宿舍,房间很大很干净。老板人很好,晚上有老板过来弹吉他唱歌,气氛不错,适合独自旅行的人,但一定要骑机车,青旅不提供自行车,这个地方距离市中心,自强夜市都非常远。酒店周围没什么吃东西的地方,所以一定要有机车。早九点到晚九点不许开空调,不过这边很多青旅都是这样,非常非常非常非常热,我觉得很不人性化。房间灯很暗而且木有床灯,看书就别想了。但网速很快,可以上网。洗手间一层有一个,有时候会不够用,而且洗手间木有空调,上个厕所或者吹个头出来就大汗淋漓了。洗澡水第一天很好,但第二天也许用的人太多了,水流特别小。还有一点需要改进的是房间没有带锁的柜子,有电脑相机很麻烦。除了老板以外其他都是换宿的志愿者,在花莲时间几天而已,都不太了解花莲,我去的时候问了很多旅游建议,但他们都不太清楚,最后费了很多功夫找了当地旅行社报了一日游。所以最好咨询老板,老板很好。
