"複数家族で利用しました。一棟貸しとのことで、急な人数変更でも料金の変更がないので安心して予約できました。またオープンな環境に見えてプライバシーが守られているので、ホテルなどで雑魚寝するよりよっぽど睡眠の質はあがります。 各スペースにコンセントがあるのもかなり助かりました。洗面3つ、シャワールーム2つ、男女混合の14名で利用させていただきましたが申し分ない設備でした。駅やコンビニ、パーキング、大型スーパー、飲食店等も近くにありました。人数も多かった為Wi-Fiが繋がりにくい時がありましたが、ボードゲームなども充実しておりデジタルデトックスできたので逆に良かったです。また是非利用したいです！"

"시간대마다 직원이 다르긴 했지만 한국말을 할 수 있는 직원이 2명은 있었고, 주말에다 숙소 퀄리티가 괜찮았는데 상당히 합리적인 가격이었습니다. 화장실이 밖에 있는 것 하나의 불편함만 감수하면 아주 매력적인 숙소입니다. 이불 수건 모두 청결해서 냄새도 안났구요. 에어컨도 시원해서 잘잤습니다. 매트리스는 약간 딱딱한 편이긴 했고, 둘이서 자기엔 침대가 약간 좁은 것 같기도 하네요. 혼자 입실한거라 상관없었습니다. 그리고 공용화장실과 샤워실 이용이긴 해도, 층마다 있다보니 저는 토요일 숙박임에도 공용 화장실 쓰고 샤워하면서 한번도 사람을 마주치지 않았어요. 거의 프라이빗하게 잘 지내다가 체크아웃했습니다. 가격이 합리적이고 시설이 깔끔해서 매우 추천합니다."
