Very clean and well organized place. Comfortable bed and excellent breakfast. Very attentive staff. Unexpected that I would find a place like this in Koromo.

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was a very nice stay with friendly staff, clean and new surroundings. I would like to go back again.
Akira, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

足りない点や不便な面が多い。駅から近いが上り坂。新しく綺麗だが、個人の鍵付きロッカーもなく、布団は自分でセッティングしないといけない。アメニティもあまりない。 スタッフがいつも余裕がなく、ただのカフェスタッフなので、宿泊業の初心者という感じで、分かっていないことが多い。 サービスがかなり足りないし、布団も髪の毛が落ちてたり。スタッフ不在のことも多く、チェックイン前や後の荷物預かりもしてくれないことがあるので、必ず予約前に確認すべき。 特に、カフェが休みの火曜と水曜は、スタッフは不在。荷物預かりもなく、サービスも皆無になるのに、値段は変わらないので、泊まるのを避けるべき。 基本的に、全国の基準だと、このレベルなら1泊2,000円位の宿泊料が妥当。長野ですら、松本でもここと同じ値段のカプセルホテルなら、大浴場もエレベーターも豊富なアメニティ＆ドリンクも24時間荷物預かりも無料のレンタサイクルもあるが、ここは何もないのに、一泊5,000円近くする。基準を知らず、勘違いしてるホステル。
KATAGIRI, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

施設は新しいが、個人の鍵付きロッカーすらなく、サービスとコストパフォーマンスが悪い。 通常これ位の質や内容のホステルなら、他県を見ても、大阪ですら一泊2,000円前後が妥当だが、ここは5,000円以上する。 スタッフがいる時間もとても短く、夜21時以降ですらチェックインにプラス料金がかかる。 更に、火曜・水曜は併設のカフェが休みで、スタッフは不在！その為、ゲストは放置プレーで、何のサービスもなく、荷物の預かりすら無し！それにも関わらず、料金は変わらず1泊5,000円以上。本来なら、それなら火曜・水曜は宿泊不可にするか、せいぜい半額以下にすべき。 全体的に、スタッフがホステルの基準が分かっておらず、全国のスタンダードすら分かっていない。 スタッフに色々頼みたくても、全くやる気がないので、普通のホステルやホテルの対応はない。 駅から近いが上り坂だし、色々厄介なので、泊まらない方が良い。
KATAGIRI, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

とにかくサービスが悪い。 全国旅しているが、このホステルが一番サービスが悪く問題。 基本カフェらしく、カフェの定休日の火曜・水曜はスタッフが全くいない！その為チェックイン前とチェックアウト後の、荷物の預かりすらしない。更に、スタッフがいないとチェックアウトすら出来ない場合もある。 エレベーターがないので、荷物が多い場合、通常スタッフが2階に運ぶが、それもしない。 定休日以外でも、スタッフは21時から翌朝8時半までいない。 ドミトリー内に個人用のロッカーすらなく、設備も全く整っていない。 それなのに、値段は都心レベルで高い。 他のホステルを沢山知っているので、こんな低レベルで杜撰な状態で、営業をしているのが問題。ホステル業をやる資格がないから、辞めた方が良い。 小諸は本当に良いホテルが全然なくて、困る。

設備が新しく綺麗でした。また、布団が快適で寝心地が良かったことにも満足しています。ただ、貴重品を保管出来る場所がなかったので、鍵付きロッカーを利用できると良いなと感じました。
RINKO, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

改善点はあるが、全体的には良い

駅から近く、オシャレな感じ。スーパーやコンビニにも近くて便利。洗面所やシャワールームも清潔で、シャワーベッドは3種類に変えられ、シャンプーなどもeco storeので身体に良い。キッチンもあり、無料の麦茶とおやつがある。スタッフもフレンドリー。 ただ、布団に数本髪の毛が落ちていた。布団は自分で敷かないといけず、枕カバーは、カバーではなく、ただ布を枕に置くだけ。 また、エレベーターがないので、大きい荷物はフロントで預かってもらえるが、必要なものを毎回取り出すのが面倒。しかも、フロントは21時まで。 また、ドミトリー内に棚はあるが、鍵付きのロッカーがない。大抵カプセルホテルでも、個人の鍵付きロッカーはあるので、これは直して欲しい。 軽井沢に日帰りで行くにも便利。

スタッフの対応がとても良い

スタッフの対応がよかったです。 ただ、部屋のエアコンが寒すぎてよく寝られなかったです。布団を被ると暑いし、剥ぐと寒いと言う感じ。 朝、他の人がいなくなってから温度を少し上げたら快適でした。
