Nice, basic stay

Room was decent size and clean. The free washer and dryer on the 3rd was nice to have available. Only complaint is that mattress was a little too firm for my liking, but wasn't terrible and I still able to sleep well enough. I would rebook here again.

It was OK for the price as it's a place to put away our stuff. The area was close to amenities and the subway is within a few mins walking distance. It was a self-check in/out. They change the towels and garbage daily. The area was quiet. The bed was hard but again, for the price, I can't really complain. There was free use of laundry service. They also respond to the messages really fast. The photos are of the places close to the area.

Value for money

Convenient, friendly host, spacious room , value for money , great location and food but Bathroom shower is an issue , shower head and faucet are not user friendly , strong sewage smell at the ground level. Our room was on the first floor at the back alley . Other rooms may not have the same issue .

ホステルとしては、立地も便利で、部屋も清潔で、トイレとシャワールームも広く快適に過ごせた。スタッフの方の対応も良かったし、 共有キッチンにウォーターサーバーも設置されていたので飲み物に困る心配なしでした。 寝るだけなら価格帯もお値打ちでGood!! ただ、泊まった部屋のテレビがつながらなかったのと周りに飲食店が多いせいか夜中に小動物が壁越しに動く音が少し気になったのがちょっと残念だった。 それも旅の醍醐味として楽しめる方ならおすすめです。

Unterkunft leider nicht wie auf Expedia dargestellt. Zimmer extrem klein, Bad etwas eklig und auch Kakerlaken sind hier zu Hause. Bettdecken nicht sauber und ohne Bezug genauso wie Kissen. Würde ich nicht nochmal buchen.

必要な設備は整っていた。タオルがある程度積んであって特に制限なかったのはうれしい お湯はあまり長時間使いすぎるとでなくなったのとシャワー、トイレ間にカーテンなしなのでシャワーに不便さはあると感じた ただ安いのと寝心地は悪くなかったので寝るだけと割り切れば良いと感じた

寝るだけなので、安くて、個室シャワーあり、 スーツケース広げられる広さありました。 セキュリティ面で少し不安はありますが、 ゲストハウスってこんな感じかなと思います。 階段が急＋狭いので重いスーツケースがあると少し大変だと思います。 掃除するわけでもないのに、たまに部屋に入るのはなぜ？と思いました。換気？ （部屋に戻ると窓が開いている）

Je ne recommande pas cet hostel

Chambre très vetuste et sale , matelas avec ressort très désagréable, porte avec seulement un petit verrou. Heureusement je n'y suis resté que 3 nuits.

잠만 자고 나오기에 딱인 곳

잠만 자고 나오기에 딱인 곳. 건물 뒷편에 차량을 주차할 수 있었고, 숙박요금이 저렴해서 좋았어요. 뜨거운 물이 잘 나왔고, 청소상태도 나쁘지 않았어요. 방충망이 찢어져 있었는데 이 점은 보수하셔야겠어요.

난방은 중앙난방식이었는데 새벽에는 보일러를 꺼버리나봐요. 새벽에 춥고 9시가 넘으면 다시 보일러 들어오는거같더라구요. 추운겨울인데 이게 뭡니까?시설이야 그럭저럭이지만 추워서 힘들었습니다.

安いだけ

友人の家から近いのでこのゲストハウスに3泊お世話になりました。 正直安いので期待してなかったですが、その通りでした。 部屋は一見綺麗ですが、床に知らない人の大量の髪が落ちていました。 部屋のスリッパ、トイレ・シャワーのスリッパが汚くて履けませんでした。 持参されるのが良いと思います。 アメニティも揃っていますが持参するのが良いと思います。 良い点は周辺は静かでした。 周辺は美味しい飲食店も多いし明洞や梨泰院まで近くて便利です。 部屋はオンドルで暑いぐらいです。 オンドルの熱でベッドが熱かったです。

CPはまあまあ

なかなか微妙でしたが安かったのでCPはまあまあでしょうか。寝具は清潔感あってよかったです。スタッフは親切、英語（と日本語も少し）で問題なくコミュニケーション取れました。
