A safety deposit box is provided for storing valuable belongings. Microwave, fridge, freezer, and electric kettle are available.

It is not a big space, but you don't feel cramped in there either. Spacious common room facilitates contacts with other travelers. Breakfast was delicious, neatly and freshly prepared, with various food to choose from. Helpful staff, answering not only your questions, but having an interesting conversations with you. Lastly, how not to mention Jiro? A friendly guardian of this place, he adds unique vibes.
