Better than normal Guest House

It’s mixture of motel + Guest house. Clean motel quality + guest house stacking beds. A little disappointing is only dirts below the bed or between furnitures. I recomment Tmap park or KakaoT Parking. Guest house suggested parking lot don’t have credit card support, and outdoor site. Expensive than another promotion supporting indoor parking lot.

Broke my back by sleeping on the floor. Thankfully by travelling solo I could use two mattresses on top of eachother but still I got bruises. No sight of any staff for 2 days. Automatic check in is great but if you have any questions you need to make a phonecall...of course you must have a sim in that case...and yes I didn't have one. Wouldn't stay again.

Gostei muito do quarto, banheiro, localização. So poderia melhorar no sentido de assistencia. Eles fornecem um telefone la para contato mais nem sempre quem viaja tem pacote de com chip de voz, entao seria bom um email para contato. Fiquei 3 noites e acabou o papel higienico e nao teve reposicao. O lixo do quarto tb nao foi retirado nenhuma vez. Tirando isso achei muito bom pelo custo beneficio.

大好きなゲストハウスです！韓国に行くときはいつもここに泊まりたいぐらいです。宿泊者が使えるルーフトップも何もないですが地味にチルくて大好きです。近くにコンビニあるのでご飯を食べそびれることもないし、USBポートが充実してるので充電などもしやすいです。 ペットボトルのお水も部屋に入れておいてくれます。チェックインが遅くなりそうだと連絡したら、すぐにその場合のチェックインの方法なども教えてくれました。マイナスはトイレの紙が流せないこと…1人での宿泊ならいいかと思いますが、2人以上だと気を使いますよね。これは韓国ならしょうがないと割り切ってます。あとは韓国あるあるですが、シャワーとトイレが同室なので、シャワーを浴びるとトイレの方までビチャビチャになります。でもそれでもウルチロとか明洞とか光化門とかも歩いていけるような立地なのもあるしまわりは静かだしで本当に私は好きなゲストハウスです。
