The hotel is located a bit outside of town, and since there's a main road right in front, you can hear some traffic noise. Like other HAKA properties, check-in is fully automated and self-service. However, there's a curfew and a PIN code required for the entrance door. This information was displayed at the reception, but I wasn’t aware of it. When I returned around 8 p.m., I couldn’t open the door and had to ask another guest inside to let me in. It made me feel that there was a lack of clear information regarding the absence of on-site staff. The room I was assigned was a semi-basement unit facing the street, while the staff room was on the second floor—which made me wonder about the room assignment. My bed was on the top bunk, but there was a large gap between the bed and the wall. Small items would fall through the gap; in fact, a 500ml plastic bottle dropped and hit the light on the lower bunk.
I understand that room layouts may vary, but I believe it would be safer if this gap were filled or minimized. The small storage basket near the outlet was better than nothing, but I was still concerned about items falling. That said, the shower and toilet facilities were well-maintained and I appreciated that. While I’ve pointed out a few issues, in terms of cost-performance, this hotel is hard to beat. I would still recommend it to others.
