学生さん向けかな

学生寮形式なので、部屋に鍵はありません。貴重品は鍵付きのロッカーに保管することになります。私の滞在中は他の利用者がいなかったため特に不便を感じることはありませんでしたが、保安が気になる場合もあるかとは思います。特筆すべきは管理人さんですね。朝早いチェックアウトにも親切に対応していただきました。

좋아요!!

벽 두드려보면 아는데 벽이 방음이 잘되게 지어져서 좋았어요. 며칠 더 오래 머물러도 좋을 숙소라고 생각합니다. 여기 오기전엔 숙소가 무서울까봐 걱정했는데 사장님이 건물에 계시고 친절하시고 안전한 편이라 무섭지 않았어요. 위치도 좋아요. 가까운 곳에 식당, 편의점도 있고 교통도 좋아요. 다음에도 올 일있으면 여기 이용하고 싶어요. 추천합니다!

夜中の12時に到着したにも関わらず、とても親切にしていただきました。周辺の地図や、施設の案内などもしてくださりありがたかったです。駅から徒歩5分で、学生街でもあるので夜まで人がたくさんいます。ご飯屋さんも多くて困りませんでした。次回もソウルに行く時は使わせていただきたいです。
