受付の男性が親切でした。英語で説明してくれます。新しい訳ではないけど問題ないです。女性スタッフがけっこう時間をかけて丁寧にバスルームを掃除しているのを見かけました。汚くないし臭くもなかったです。トイレットペーパー流せます。ドライヤー置いてあります。耳栓貰えます。 2段ベットにカーテンが無いのであればもっと良かったなと思いました。

場所がわかりにくかった。 トイレが汚かった。 同室の人がチェックアウトしても1日以上清掃に来なかった。 その人が散らかしてった共同の机とかゴミ箱とか片付けてくれなかったのが不満。 受付は白人女性でしたが英語しか喋らなかったし早口で何言ってるのかさっぱりでした。 共同スペースにいらした日本人男性(多分お客さん)が代わりに説明してくれて助かりました。 日本人にはあまり優しくない施設かな。 安いから文句はありませんが、行く人は気をつけてください。

Dirty, not great social aspect, no social area

Worst hostel I've ever stayed at. Bathrooms aplenty, but dirty. Loose hairs, mildew, mold aplenty. Lots of people that stay there permanently, my room had two guys that had taken over the whole room. Their clothes and shoes were all over the room. No lockers to use, no places to put your bags. They work at night so they sleep all day, you can never turn the light on and sort your stuff out. All forgivable except for the one thing: the room stank. It had that smell that stings and makes your eyes water. Because these guys never leave, the room seems to never get cleaning service. No social area besides the kitchen / dining room table. It'd be nice if there was a couch and TV like a living room. They should limit the stay of these people to a week. It's ridiculous that they make it like their home, and a disgusting home at that.

ゲストハウス自体が初めての宿泊だったので他のゲストハウスがどんなものかわからないけど、玄関は靴が散乱していて中に入ったら少し臭かった けどフロントの人は親切で色々わからない事を聞いたら私でもわかるよーな簡単な英語で丁寧に教えてくれた 1人部屋を取ったので他の部屋はわからないけど写真で見た通りTVもついてて値段の割に個人的には全然まし(有り)だと思った ただ寝返り打っただけでベッドが動くし変な音がした しーてゆーなら共同で使うトイレが汚かったのがちょっと気になった …けど安いしゲストハウスだしまあそんなもんなのかな、、、？

no fue la mejor estancia en seul, las personas que estaban hospedadas alli no respetaron el horario de silencio, hablaban muy alto y se reian de modo que no nos dejaron dormir, nos quejamos ante el administrador pero de nada valio.
