Great location and friendly staff. We could store our bags at the hostel after check out. There is free coffee and tea and hot water which we appreciated. We stayed a night at another accomodation in the same price in the area and this is by faaaaar better. Highly recommend!

バスは広いけど　ガラスの壁にお掃除が出来てない（掃除してないから　歯磨き粉？の白い汚れが気になった）この値段でしたら　充分満足です。女性客が多いなと思ったのと　立地条件がとても良く　地下鉄の駅も近い　広蔵市場にとても近くて　東大門も近い　明洞まで歩いていけないこともなく　もしまた行くようなことがあれば　利用したい。タオルも自分で持ってくる　お掃除はしてくれないけど　私はその方ご気が楽だった。ホテルはリノベーションしてきれいだが　まわりのたてものがかなりふるそうだった。

寝に帰る分には最適です。口コミを見て行ったので入り口で迷うことはありませんでしたが、2階までスーツケースを運ぶ必要があります。いつでも出入りできて、最終日も早く出れて良かったです。廊下にゴミ箱があるので溜まったら自分で出してました。頼んだら掃除もしてくれます。枕元にコンセントは無いように見えましたが、差し込み口は沢山あって良かったです。洗面所にもあります。ドライヤーは固定です。シャワーの出し方が分からなくて連絡したら、日本語のできる方が部屋まで来て教えてくれました。特に変な臭いがすることも無く、快適に過ごせました。お世話になりました。

広蔵市場がすぐ！駅も近い

広蔵市場まで徒歩5分程度で、とても使いやすい。乙支路4街駅もすぐそばにあり、清渓川沿い。立地が良いです。パスタがありませんが、シャワーブースはちゃんと仕切られているのがよかった。部屋には冷蔵庫、ドライヤーあり。布団やシーツ、清潔でした。オーナーもフレンドリー出て日本語が通じて、とてもよかったです。

가격대비 좋았습니다.

가격을 생각하면 불평을 할수가 없지만 조금 아쉬웠던 점이... 침대 아래쪽 청소 상태와 수건에서 제 경우 40% 정도의 확율로 냄새가 나서 사용하기 힘듦... 좋왔던 점은 지하철, 편의점, 재래시장 가까워서 지갑에 놀고 있던 온누리 상품권 잘 사용 했습니다. 싱글룸 예약 했는데 트윈침대 있는 방으로 배정 받아서 방도 좁지 않았습니다. 잘 지내고 돌아 왔습니다 . 감사합니다.
