隔音很差，很像是木板隔間，外面人經過撞到牆面，房間內會聽到聲音。晚上12:00櫃檯服務人員男生進來換床單很奇怪。在首爾住其他青年旅店，即使沒有24小時櫃檯服務，仍會事先mail讓客人知道大門密碼，但這家堅持晚上12:00前入住，現場才告知大門密碼，服務人員去聚餐了雖然告知會趕回來，但我比約定入住時間提早到10分鐘，要在大門外面等服務人員聚餐走回來。早餐不ok、到晚上12:00外面還很吵。

夜12時頃、宿舎に戻ると、エントランスの鍵が壊れていて、開けられずにとても困った。スタッフの方に電話をしても出なくて、メールをして少ししたら返信をくれて、宿に来てくれて対応してくれました。 私は韓国語が話せるのでよかったものの、韓国語を話せない場合はかなり大変だったと思います。 やはり個人経営の宿舎はこのようなトラブルがあるんだなと感じました。

Probably all the "guesthouses" in this district are overpriced and low quality like this one. Bed sheets were not fresh and there was no covering for mattresses. Bathroom was clean. A/C in common area (kitchenette) was nonoperational. Curtain frame fell off in the middle of night. It's an acceptable place to stay but you can find many other regular hotels in other areas that are better than this with similar price.

また泊まりたいゲストハウスです

管理人の男性がとても親切でした。共同スペースの近くということもあり、英語が常に飛び交っていましたが、きちんとルールもあるので、夜は眠れないということはありません。部屋の掃除も行き届いており、バスタオルも毎日変えてくれていました。

民宿比我們想像的好很多, 實際狀況也比照片好, 只是24:00前要check-in, 我們搭酷航21:35扺達的班機居然還差點來不及, 第一次去要找一下, 應該要多留點時間的

とても綺麗で、快適に過ごせました。ホンデからの行き方は迷います。外見の写真があまり載っていないので、外見で探せず苦労しました。 お部屋はとてもお洒落で綺麗です。2人で泊まりましたが、スーツケースは1人ずつしか開けません。また、テレビを見ることを１つの楽しみとしていましたが、テレビは無くそこが1番残念でした。途中掃除に入ってくれましたが、タオルがなく…誰がスタッフさんか分からず、自分たちで持ってきたタオルで拭きました。 マイナス面ばかり書きましたが、部屋自体はとても良く、スタッフさんも優しかったです！！一人で泊まっても清潔だし、繁華街が近いので安全で過ごしやすいと思います。また利用したいと思う所でした:)

陽気で優しい男性スタッフさん、アットホームな雰囲気、清潔な水回りが印象的でした。 部屋は狭いですが、おしゃれで居心地抜群◎ ユニットバスにカーテンがついているので、トイレが水に濡れずにすみました。また、水はけがよいため、次の日の朝には綺麗に乾いていました。 近くにカフェ、コンビニ、食堂、服屋、チキン屋などがあり立地も最高です！

다시는 안갑니다. 비추천.

1층 다인실 이용했는데 공용공간 바로 옆이라 사람들이 떠드는 소리 다들렸습니다. 밤에는 난방을 안트신건지 도저히 추워서 잘수가 없었구요. (창문 쪽 침대) 제일 짜증난건 사람들 다 자는 새벽시간에 개념없는 외국인 남성분이 스피커 폰으로 쩌렁쩌렁 통화를 하시던데요, 방에 있던 저포함 주무시는 분 둘 다 깼어요. 그뒤로 잠을 못잤구요. 관리인 전화를 해도 불러도 누가 저지하는 분이 없었습니다.

駅から少し歩くので重たい荷物を持っての移動はとても大変でした。 ツインとドミトリーに宿泊しました。 各部屋にシャワールームがあるのがとても良かったです！シャワーカーテンもあるのが◎ ドミトリーでは韓国人のお姉さんと一緒でいつも声かけてくれて楽しく過ごせました！ 今までドミトリーはあまり使いたくなかったのですが、ココは綺麗で安心して使えました！また利用したいと思いました！

Clean, Great PT and Eats Location

Easy and precise instructions from subway line 2. Quick check-in, clean and comfy bed and nice size towel. Rent a padlock for lockers or bring your own. Rooms and bathrooms seemed to be wiped clean every day. Quiet indoors after midnight, but the outdoor crowds can get loud, so bring earplugs. Female dorm has make up and dressing area so private wet bathroom csn be used for shower and toilet needs. Plenty of trash cans and they are cleaned regularly (this is so rare in a lot of hostels)! Breakfast includes 2 types of tasty cereal with milk, tea, coffee, bread, butter and jam. About 8 ppl can eat together comfortably, on the bench and stools. Slippers provided at entrance. Shoe changing area is small so wear/bring shoes that are easy to slip in and out of. Nice outdoor seating area near several eateries, very closeby. Definitely are great hostel I would stay at again.

3人房之選

酒店跟地鐵站還不是太遠，約十分鐘可到，3人房還有私人浴室，價錢合理。Wi-Fi，暖氣，熱水都可以。提供的早餐是簡單多士，栗米片及鮮奶。可以自備杯公仔麵。弘大是吃貨中心，你大可吃到半夜的。但如果你是身高6尺的高人，床還是不太合適。職員都有禮貌，用密碼鎖出入，合早出晚歸人仕。
