The owner thinks this neighborhood, massed with old hostels entails innovative functions to meet the globalization which dramatically changed the quality and quantity of visitors.

Thus Kangaroo Hotel was made at this time with the concept ; "backpackers hostel".

On the 1st floor lobby, the internet and a café space are arranged so that travelers can collect information and share public space.
