It provided ramen, coffee &tea throughout the day in the lounge. It was maintained neatly. It's three story building without an elevator, where I stayed on the third floor taking up bags in the very narrow & steep hallway and steps. The entrance was rocky. On the checkout day, the staff helped carrying the luggage downstairs. It has 3 washers /dryers with laundry detergent.

部屋は普通に綺麗でした。椅子がないので支度がしんどいです。バスルームは狭いですが、サンダルが置いてありました。 ただ朝の9時くらいに寝てたら清掃が始まっていたらしく、開けた覚えのない部屋のドアが開いていてビビりました。意識がないくらい眠っていたので勝手に開けられていたとしたら怖すぎます。

コンパクトですが必要なものは全て揃っていて、広蔵市場の目の前で立地が便利です！私はとても気に入りました、また利用したいです。清掃スタッフの方も、オーナーさんも親切です。ラーメンをご馳走さまでした！ 一点だけ、壁やドアが薄く、音が丸聞こえなので、神経質な方にはおすすめしません。
エントランスを入ってすぐのスペース。広くはないですが、朝食を取ったりコーヒーを飲むには十分です。トップライトもあります。
お皿やコップ、調理器具もあります。簡単な料理ならできそうです。 ラーメンとmaximとお茶、ウォーターサーバーが無料で提供されています。
無料ラーメンは5種類もあります！辛いもの、辛くないもの、ジャジャンミョンのようなものもありました。

場所が分かりにくい…夜遅めだったので騒がしい飲食店の間の細い路地入るので見逃して何度も通り過ぎてました。もう少し大きく看板あれば… 写真通りの設備でしたが、上手に撮られています。セミダブルの部屋でしたが、とにかく部屋はびっくりするくらい狭く、大きなスーツケースを広げたら歩けないくらいです。また洗面所も扉を開けると直ぐ便座で通りにくい。。とホステルなので仕方ないですが、清潔感はあるのでよかったです。見事に無人でしたね。暗証番号が上手く押せず、たまたま中にいた方に開けてもらいました。 マイナスな事を書きましたが これから何度も渡韓する予定なのでまたお世話になるかもです。
