キレイで良かったです。が100点では無かった理由は、日によって毎日何か無ぃ物がありました。

Kamarnya cukup kecil tetapi untungnya kami mendapatkan kamar mandi di dalam, meskipun tidak ada toiletnya hanya untuk mandi saja, toilet terdapat toilet umum untuk sarapan tersedia roti beserta selainya tersedia dapur umum yang peralatan memasaknya cukup lengkap ada kompor, wajan, piring sampai garam gula pun ada, ada mesin cuci, microwave, dan kulkas yang bisa digunakan bersamasama lokasinya cukup dekat dengan stasiun MRT, cuma sayangnya kalau sudah malam jalan dari stasiun MRT ke hostel cukup gelap dan harus melewati redaksi terang district resepsionis sangat baik sekali karena selalu karena kami di depan pintu hostel apabila kami pulang cukup malam dan sangat membantu untuk memberitahu transportasicara ke lokasi wisata, sangat informatif dan helpful secara keseluruhan hotelnya cukup bersih dan modern di lobby terdapat timbangan untuk menimbang tasker serta ada fasilitas internet di sini aturannya sangat tertib, di atas jam 9 malam tidak boleh berisik di daerah publik, serta wifi di hostel ini sangat cepat dan gratis.

For Muslim travellers, I recommend checking out the next-door shop that only sells fried chicken for krw 4, 00 that's for one whole chicken but remember that they only serve takeaway orders. For those looking for cheap bargains on clothing, just cross the street and youll find a lot of shops selling it. For photographers, prepare walking shoes as there is a lot to see and places to go to depending on how far you can travel.

This place was exactly as other reviews stated. Its close to a bus station, has lots of restaurants and a cheap shopping district. Additionally, the staff was friendly and helpful. For Muslim travelers, I recommend going to the next door store that sells fried chicken only at krw 4, 00 - that's one whole chicken, but keep in mind that they only serve takeout orders. For those looking for cheap clothing at a cheap price, just cross the street and youll find several shops selling it, but don't inquire about my brand or not. For the photographer, prepare walking shoes since there are many things to see and places to explore, depending on the distance you can travel..

This location is exactly what other reviewers have stated. It is close to a bus stop, a variety of possible dining establishments, and a cheap shopping street. Furthermore, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. If you are a Muslim, I advise checking out the next door store that only sells fried chicken at krw 4, 00 that is for one whole chicken, but be aware that they only offer takeout orders. For those looking for a cheap discount on clothes, just cross the street and youll find many retailers selling it, but don't inquire about it's the original brand or not. And for the photographer, prepare your walking shoes because there are a lot of things to see and places to go, depending on the length of distance you can travel.

This place was exactly what other reviews said. It's close to a bus stop, lots of places to eat, and a cheap shopping street. The staff was also very nice and helpful. For Muslim travelers, I recommend checking out the next door store that only sells fried chicken at krw 4, 00 that's for 1 whole chicken, however remember that they only serve take-out orders. For you who are looking for a cheap price on clothing, just cross the road and youll find many shops selling it. Do not ask me if it's the original brand or not though. And for the photographer, prepare your walking shoes because there are a lot of things to see and places to go to depending on the distance you can travel..

Auberge qui fait l’affaire pour quelques jours seulement. Seulement deux wc/salles d’eau pour une dizaine ou quinzaine de chambres…. Dans une ruelle au calme proche de la station Jongno 5 ga (ligne1 du métro de Séoul). Proche du marché avec pas mal de street food et commerçants en tout genre. Literie un peu dure.

No reception, I went to the wrong hostel (there’s the same one down the street) and wasn’t told there were two different ones! Only way to contact someone was via WhatsApp Wasn’t communicated what room I was in Bed sheets aren’t washed properly, mine were stained and also the towels smelt really bad

首先必須承認此價格住宿～為非常性價比高之選擇🙂 位置：離鍾路5街站步行幾分鐘就到👍而且可以一直步行至東大門區域(尤其適合深夜想要購物及食宵夜之旅客)；雖然附近有紅燈區事業但並無嘈吵/騷擾情況發生～僻靜但未致於感覺危險～服務：住宿了六天～由check in至check out～未有見過任何工作人員～可說是全自助形式～房間：房內無異味～有地暖及小暖爐保溫～沐浴水溫平穩又水速充足～床鋪都瞓得舒適～唯獨床單及毛巾有污漬(建議使用自備的) 環境：裝潢較殘舊～但安静～以旅館價格而言不應要求太多～個人覺得可以接受～

Not sure if it's because of the pandemic or if it's always been like this, but the place really seemed to need a cleaner. Stayed for several days (out of which we stayed two in the hostel the entire day due to having online classes to attend) and didn't see anyone clean any part of the hostel even once, and the bathroom and hallways seemed permanently stained with mud. It also smelled liked cup-ramen in the whole place and me (natural blonde) and my friend (pink haired latina) found black, asian looking hair in one of the beds. Now the place was CHEAP so I wasn't exactly expecting a five star experience, but given that my friend prefered using the public subway bathrooms over the ones in the hostel I think it's fair to be a bit critical.

The lock to our room didn’t work, so you could just pull the door open even when it was locked. The locks to the bathrooms didn’t work either. The wifi we were supposed to be using did’nt even exist, so we had to use another one from one of the other rooms (every room had its own). There was mould in the aircondition. There were cockroaches in some of the rooms. Sometimes there weren’t any staff at the reception even when there was supposed to be. Information at the hostel told us there would be breakfast, but there was none. Only good thing was a relatively low price and quite centrally placed.

8月の下旬に5泊で利用しました。韓国は慣れており、女性1名です。【良かった点】・基本的にセルフチェックインセルフチェックアウト、荷物もフロント横に自分で預けておけば自由に出入り可能なので楽・冷蔵庫は共同ですが大きいサイズなので自分の物を保管できる余裕はあります・洗濯機が使えるので洗剤もあったようですが私は自分の洗剤を持っていきました。操作方法は翻訳機を使って意外と簡単に使えました、1時間ほどかかります。【悪かった点】・セルフチェックインですが自分の名前がなかったのでメールで問い合わせをした、すぐに返答があったので良かったが、これが返答なかったらどの部屋に入れば良いかわからなかった・シャワーの排水溝がすぐに詰まって2日目以降から毎日浸水しながらシャワーをした・排水溝からたくさんの小さなゴキブリや虫がうじゃうじゃ出てきた・ちょうど良い気温だったのでクーラーをせずに寝ていたら自分の体にゴキブリが這い上がって来て夜中に何度も目が覚めた・毎日ゴキブリとの戦いだった。最終日に巨大なゴキブリ登場です・共用スペースのテーブルでご飯を食べていたら目の前にゴキブリがいた・ゴキジェットスプレーが共用スペースに用意されていたのでそれを使いましたが、やはり出ます、苦手な方は来ないほうが良い・滞在中、メールを送っても無視される・各部屋に用意されたTVは普通のテレビが電波がありませんとなりどの電源を入れても見れない。bビデオ？みたいな有料で番組や映画やドラマが見れる機器につながっており、基本テレビは消したままでした。テレビっ子なのでこれはさすがに残念。現地のテレビが見たかった。・各個人部屋は共用スペースを囲むように位置しているので、夜遅くに他の宿泊者の話し声や動画を見ている音量などでうるさくて眠れない・冷蔵庫に入れたものが誰かに飲まれていた、名前は書く必要がある・入り口から共用スペースまでの匂いがキツイ、独特の匂いでちょっと吐き気がする、部屋に入るとマシになる・エアコンのクーラーはちょうど良い温度にはなりません、寒すぎるか、消すと暑い、除湿にしても寒い・トイレは共同です。たまにそのトイレでシャワーをされる人がいるので、2台とも埋まっていたら待たないといけない以上のことから、それなりに覚悟を持ってきたほうが良いです。もしくはすぐ近隣にある同系列の「スイート」の方がまだ綺麗そうでした。
