It was listed as a hotel, but it’s actually a hostel—I was totally misled by the description and photos, and it wasn’t even cheap. You’d be better off booking a real hotel.

立地は素晴らしいが、施設がそこそこ古い。壁の一角には黒カビが、換気が悪い感じ。バスタブは無く、トイレの横でシャワーだが、シャワーを壁に掛ける物もなく、手で持つしかない。清掃は行き届いていた、廊下には荷物用の重量計もある。料金相応のホテルでした。

安さ重視ならアリだと思います。立地はとても便利です。東大門のkyochonチキンの裏辺りにあります。真夜中のショッピングにも便利です。ただとても狭いです。ツインに泊まりましたが2人ともがスーツケースを広げるのは無理でした。シャワーを浴びるとトイレも濡れます。でもこのスペースは清掃が行き届いていて清潔感あります。部屋の中に洗面台があります。テレビの横に無理くり作ってある感じです。ゲストハウスをよく利用される方なら問題無いと思います。
