"Because the flight was canceled, I had to return one day later than planned. It was my first time to experience a backpacker hotel, and it was really good. We arrived at ten o'clock, because the latest check-out from the hotel was 11 o'clock, and we had already booked a castle tour at 11 o'clock. It might have been past the 7 o'clock key collection time when we returned to the hotel after a day of fun, but the clerk was still very active in helping us find a way. Everything was taken care of very well, allowing us to spend the day happily without interruption. As a backpacker hotel, it is really good. The overall guest room is very comfortable and warm. We were given a triple room on the top floor with a double bed and a single bed. The elderly did not have to worry about climbing up and down. The shared bathroom on the floor is also very clean and tidy, and the roommates who share it also use it well. It is very convenient to have a sink in the room, which is very convenient for washing fruits, washing hands, brushing teeth and face. The room also has a TV and a small safe. The bedside table is equipped with a mirror, a chest of drawers and a cute closet. My small suggestion is that it would be better if there were more places to hang clothes, otherwise I think it is very good."
