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.

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 .

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.

如果是短期旅遊（2-4天）且不介意髒的人其實蠻適合的。 首先優點： 地理位置不錯！孔德站4號出口手扶梯上來走5-10分鐘就到，附近有Gs25晚抵達還可以購買吃食、附近什麼不多咖啡店超多喜歡喝咖啡的人可以去喝爆、住宿有提供Wifi且非常順暢👍 住宿採無人自助型入住，櫃檯會放鑰匙並在上面貼上住宿人的姓名領取後開門即可，因為是老舊式所以都是插鑰匙孔的。 缺點： 入住時發現房門沒有鎖上是開的且旅館的大門長期開著！如果有小偷或者其他怪怪的人均可隨意進入，剛好單人房在一樓所以有點小小的可怕！ 隔音沒有很好、地板很髒、冰箱冷氣均老舊但能用、床套、毛巾組合均有毛球且毛巾有怪味介意的人建議自己帶一次性床包還有毛巾。 我自己是不介意髒，但是進去腳底板踩的地板是真的很髒且有黑色蟲蟲（我自己是打了3隻）目測是因為木質地板才有的黑色蟲蟲。 浴室地板磁磚有一塊凹凸沒踩好的話會被刮到受傷；浴室的杯子、置物架、淋浴設備均很髒有垢如果不能接受淋浴設備有垢的建議自己帶。 建議住宿的人一律備好「酒精噴霧、酒精濕紙巾、一次性床包毛巾地板鞋、攜帶式淋浴設備」。 住宿的清潔人員每12-13點開始清潔，如果怕行李箱會被動的人記得上鎖。 結論：這次一個人住宿且短期旅遊我覺得還算可以，除了髒其他都還能接受！不介意的人可以來住看看唷！

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。

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）

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.

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。
