Haben für 13 Nächte hier übernachtet Zimmer war vollkommen ausreichend Bad war gut Klimaanlage und Kühlschrank vorhanden Mitarbeiter allesamt freundlich und hilfsbereit Es gibt einen Gemeinschaftsraum mit Küche und großem Kühlschrank Wasser in Flaschen konnte man sich jederzeit nehmen Über den Hintereingang kann man direkt zum Aufzug.

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。
