Nice place, inexpensive hotel in an otherwise pricey area. Gender neutral shower area, but there are several showers with private, lockable rooms (2x4 feet) just outside of the shower itself (shower door is also lockable). Showers were kept tidy, and full bottles of body soap and shampoo were available in each shower unit. Bathrooms were also shared but were gendered, and also kept tidy. Staff gave us options for western style (bed frames) versus traditional (futon on ground) but the "western style" just had the same futons but on the bed frames. Not a deal breaker for me but I could see a typical westerner being unhappy about it. Staff was very nice and friendly, and they held our luggage for us after check out since our flight was later in the day and we were able to explore. Tied to a 24 hour cafe downstairs and they have a coin laundry attached. There is a small playground (metal slide and 2 swings) right out front of the hotel/cafe doors.
