직원님들은 매우 친절했고 객실도 깨끗해서 만족했지만 ㅜㅜ 손님들이 화장실을 더럽게 쓰고 손님들이 수건 사용후 엉망으로 둬서 불쾌했어요. 직원님들은 전부 친절하고 좋았습니다.

stayed here for a week in june and found it reasonably good value, albeit with some quite major cons. but first, the pros: • the location — honestly great, it's a 5 minutes' walk from coex/airport bus stop. the nearest train station is a little further away, maybe 10-15 minutes, but i didn't find it a hassle. there's a gs25 right around the corner and some nice diners. • the hostel is new and quite beautifully decorated. i found the capsule to be quite clean and conveniently outfitted, and wifi was great too. • staff were all friendly and helpful. cons: • i booked the capsule suite because i wanted the desk for work purposes. the fact that the rooms are inaccessible for "cleaning" from 11am-4pm is a pretty major con in my opinion, especially since there isn't even daily housekeeping. i don't see why i couldn't have stayed in there during the time. • there are only curtains, not doors, which means you can hear pretty much everything — luggage being zipped, the main door being opened etc. they do provide earplugs which i was very thankful for. • the fixtures in the showers weren't very good quality. a few times i entered and the tap handles were missing etc. think this needs major work. bath mats would be great as well. all in all, i think the hostel is a nice basic option for a night or two. but some improvements would elevate the experience significantly!
