The rooms are small, but have storage space, individual bathrooms and are clean. The area is really good if you want convenience. Walkable to the downtown area and jetty. Breakfast is made to order eggs, toast, fruit and coffee. My only con is that it does get a bit loud at night from surrounding bars, so just bring ear plugs. ##### Natasha Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Carl, Taiwan Aug 19, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 平價的旅店 我們在亞庇這家旅館住了兩個晚上，環境整理的很乾淨，但是隔音真的不太好，介意的人入住時要考量一下。以下是我們認為的優缺點: 優點: 1.離機場巴士上下車點約400公尺，記得要搭乘機場巴士，要提前前往，他會提早十分鐘發車。 2.房間及環境整理的很乾淨。 3.店員很有禮貌及熱情。 4.WIFI速度很快。 5.距離Gaya街約500公尺，附近也有幾家不錯的餐館。 6.有附贈簡易的早餐。 缺點: 1.房間是輕隔間設計，另外門縫也蠻大的，所以隔音不佳。 2.我們在hotel.com預定的房間沒有對外窗。 ##### Carl Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### CC, Taipei May 8, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### CP值很高但是要有難以入睡的心理準備 樓下的音樂和人的吵鬧聲熱鬧到凌晨四點...就連我很容易熟睡的人都被吵醒很多次 棉被很薄 冷氣溫度又不能調整 冷氣關掉又太熱 窗戶又不敢打開 怕外面很多老鼠和鴿子會進來 早晨有濃濃油煙味飄進房 但整體來說房間內部乾淨整潔 員工友善熱心 價格實惠 是有預算的旅客不錯的住宿選擇 ##### CC ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 18, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Siisti Hinta-laatu hyvä.
