I was a little wary staying at a shipping container hotel, but I was blown away by this place. Really everything was perfect about it. The room was spotless and had all the amenities you could need.The staff were very friendly and helpful, and were prepared to deal with a language barrier. It even has laundry and free light meals that were quite good! And all for a great price. Next time I'm in Karatsu this will he my go-to.

Warm room in winter

Had a great stay, the room was warm enough in Dec. The front desk also provided light meal options for our stay. The hotel was walking distance to several amenities which was helpful as we didn’t drive.

コンテナのような形で内部はどうなってるのか？ と以前から色々な場所で見て気になっておりましたが 内部は清潔なビジネスホテルの装いでした。 ベッドも大きく、通路もきちんと確保されており 電子レンジ・冷蔵庫・冷凍庫完備 むしろビジネスホテルのように決まった場所にしか 電子レンジがなく朝にエレベーター乗るってこともありませんし、非常にいい意味で驚きました。 また近くの観光の際は利用させて頂きたいと思っております。

독특한 숙소

길거리 옆 독특한 컨테이너 박스형 숙소다. 깨끗하고 청결하다. 벽과 벽이 분리되어 옆 방 소리가 제로다. 역과 거리는 10분 정도, 가는 편에 세븐 마켓이 있어 이용하기 편리했다. 카운트에서 간단하게 먹을 것을 제공해 주었다. 옆이 바로 기찻길이라 소리가 나는 게 조금 불편했다.
