딱 싼값하는곳
관리인은 일본인이 아니었는가 말이 어눌하고, 그렇게 막 싹싹하지도 않았습니다 하지만 설명해줄건 다 해주고 서비스면에서 불편한점은 없었습니다. 전반적인 첫인상은 괜찮았으나, 침대는 삐걱거리고, 방음은 최악, 샤워실또한 타 게스트하우스에 비해 청결도가 비교적 떨어지는걸 느꼈고, 그냥저냥 1박 잠만 자고가는 느낌이었습니다.

Great place near a station. The private room with bunk beds we were in had enough room to hold our suitcases and still move around.

Good location!
Tsubame has several clean bunk-bed rooms with clean shared toilets, bathrooms and 1 kitchenette with fridges. Rooms with1 bunk-bed or 1 bunk-bed + 1 single bed with thin mattresses. Bunk-bed is good for 1 person, with 2 it becomes wobbly and a bit noisy. Interesting fact: - you can hear footsteps, noises from hairdryer, from microwaves in the hallways but not noises from streets! - no-lock entrance door makes you feel scared if you have to go to toilet during the night on first night. It is closed to Asakusabashi station, 1 station to Ryogoku/Akihabara stations, not far from Asakusa temple, Sky Tree, Tokyo/Ueno stations,...

Nice clean room. A lil cramped for 3 persons with big luggages. It is well insulated in the winter. Near to Asakusabashi Station. Also near to several convenience stores. Overall a great stay here.

Only real complaint would be that the beds are very uncomfortable. You can feel the boards under the thin mattress.

2/10 Poor

가지 마세요!!
카드 결제가 안되고 침대 시트에 피 묻은 자국이 있었음 12시 넘어서까지 옆방에선 떠들고 먹고 돌아다니고~ 아무런 제재도 없었음 에어컨 제습 기능이 안되는지 침대 시트가 원래 축축했는데 자는 도중에 물에 빠져 죽는줄 알았음 아침에 일어나 보니 옷도 모두 축축~ 심지어 가방도 축축~ 새벽에 나온다고(5시경) 그냥 열쇠함에 두고 나오는데 현관문이 활짝열려있었음 반대로 생각해보면 그 시간에 아무나 들어올수 있는 상황인것임
