Awesome location for budgeted tourist.

Accessible to public transportations around the city of Seoul and reasonable price for the room. The downside is there’s no elevator of the guesthouse which is located in the third floor of the building, thanks to the receptionists espicially Bean who helps us ...

Nice hotel, close the subway and many big store

Im highly impress the staff who take care us on the last day. Cos we all maybe miss the last shuttle bus and the flight but he help us to carry our luggages to 1st floor and to shuttle bus ( last trip of the day 08.08pm) and told the bus driver for us. It's short time but high value. The Guesthouse is near subway, DDP and many big department store that we can shopping another market all day and can also shopping around the guesthouse after midnight.

Highly recommended

Charim Guesthouse was a wonderful place to stay. It was comfortable, spotless and the staff were all really nice and incredibly helpful. Great value for money and very convenient location. Highly recommended. (I've stayed in a lot of similarly-priced and more expensive places in Seoul and this was by far the best).

還不錯

這間是在地體的8號出口一出來就會看到，但8號出口要爬四層的階梯，所以如果要入住建議走12號出口，這間旅館是在三樓也是只有樓梯，所以要入住的人可以好好思考遺下

地下鉄出入口&バス停すぐそばにあって、とっても便利です。大通りに面しているので、夜遅くなっても人通りがあり、安心できます。短所は、エレベーターがないので、スーツケースが重いと大変かも。

寝るだけなら便利で安い!

初めてのゲストハウスで最初は不安でしたが立地が良すぎてビックリしました。 寝るだけと割り切るならとても便利な宿だと思います。韓国宿泊地によくあるシャワーの勢いが弱いとかもなく、痛いくらい水圧ありました!今回、天気が結構な雨だったので地下鉄への出口の近さが余計にありがたみを感じました。4人部屋でしたが朝起きたときには自分の他に1人しかいなかったのでそこまで窮屈さを感じることなくチェックアウトでした。チェックアウト後も昼過ぎくらいまでならスーツケースも預かってくれたので助かりました。騒音問題も全くなかったです。日本語は通じないので多少の韓国語は翻訳機でもあれば便利かも…？でもそんなに話すほどの必要性もないですけど…。注意事項とかお知らせは紙に書いたもので見せられるので。

東大門歴史文化公園駅8番出口すぐです。 フロントは3階で階段のみ。 部屋の位置にもよるかもしれませんが、ロビーにいる人や隣の話し声、結構聞こえました(--;) 従業員の方は日本語分からずで、最初なかなか通じあえずチェックインできずで大変でしたが、 でも親切で良かったです。 トイレのドアは 開けると便器にあたり最後まで開けられないので さらに狭く感じますが、 寝るだけと割り切るなら充分です。

場所が便利

地下鉄の出口から近くて便利。まだ便利といえる範囲に入る場所です。ただしビルの3階で階段のみです。チェックアウトは鍵を返却ボックスに入れるだけなので楽でした。トイレはいわゆる韓国式でシャワーと一緒になっているやつです。シャンプー・リンス・ボディソープがあるのは手荷物を機内持込みにしてる者にはポイント高いです。コンセントはいくつかありますが変換プラグはついていないので持参した方がいいです。私はレンタルのWi-Fiルーターのアダプターで代用しました。ゲストハウスに慣れている人には快適な宿だと思います。
