We stayed in the room for the. Price / Value for this ho(s)tel is great. Location very good in terms of walking to other interesting places in the city, however in the direct vicinity of the hotel it looks a bit shady, but no issues whatsoever, does not feel unsafe or anything. I would stay here again. Approx. 1 km from the hotel there is a Korean Sauna place that costs around 15k Won, which is not bad. Amenities great, instant noodles, coffee, water free of charge, washing machine and dryer available for a small fee. We had everything we needed for a place where you go to sleep overnight. Some small things which could be improved: I could not find a shoe horn in the room, the lights panel shines during the night and I had to cover it with a T-shirt to have a better sleep, the AC does not smell good when turned to heating, but it might have been because of a smell from the outside (cannot say), so we didn’t use it (didn’t even need to since there was heating on in the building. When you open the window during the evening/night the smell from the outside isnt good unfortunately (during the day no bad smells and all good; this is not an issue of the hotel, but of the places around the hotel which look more like a street market (pictures attached). With that said, the hotel is really good for what you pay and I would stay here again without any problem.

I stayed here for 4 nights — 2 nights in an 8-bed room and 2 nights in a 4-bed room.
I thought the 4-bed room would be larger since it’s listed as having the same area as the 8-bed room, but actually it was smaller. So, I would recommend booking the 8-bed room instead.One downside is that there’s no luggage room like other dorm-style hotels. We had to keep our luggage inside the room, and the lights were always dim — only small yellow lamps for each bed. I’ve never seen the main light turned on, and I couldn’t even find the switch for it.
The staff can speak English and are generally very nice, except for one female staff member who couldn’t speak English well and was a bit rudeeeee after I checked out.
What I liked the most is that they offer free instant noodles, which was a pleasant surprise.
Anyway, I think the hotel really needs to build a luggage room, because guests currently have to keep their suitcases in the sleeping area — there’s literally no space for them, so I had to leave mine in the hallway.

We really enjoyed our time at this hostel, the location is really good! Easy access to the subway and lots of food options, we did have a toilet that leaked but that didn’t detract from our overall impression, bedroom is quite small but cozy and the free ramen noodles and coffee was a lovely touch 🫶🏼

・新しくて清潔感は◎です。
・ロケーションは、最寄駅の治安は曜日等によって少し悪い時もありますが、駅からはとても近くて便利です。
・スタッフさんは入った時からとてもフレンドリーで接しやすかったです。説明も、私が韓国語を勉強中のため韓国語で行ってくださり、かなり分かりやすく説明してくださいました。
おそらく宿泊される方一人一人に合わせて説明をしてくださると思います。
また、昼と夜でスタッフの方が変わっていましたが、夜に追加でタオルをもらう際、両替してもらう際もとても親切でした。
・有料ですが洗濯機と乾燥機も同じ建物内にあって便利でした。(洗濯機・乾燥機/各4,000ウォン、現金1,000ウォンのみ)
私は時間が無く食べれませんでしたが、無料のラーメンや浄水器、コーヒー等も置いてありました。
ただ、私はドミトリータイプだったからか、タオルが1日ごとに補充されませんでした。
フロントの方に申し出れば新しいタオルを貰うことはできます。
まったく知らない方との相部屋なので、静かに過ごすよう神経は使いますが、シャワーを浴びて寝るだけの方には、清潔感もあって良いと思います。
各自のスペースがかなり狭いので、荷物は少ない方が良いと思います。
次回はドミトリータイプじゃないお部屋で宿泊してみたいです。

先說優點:①地理位置非常好!離地鐵站很近,出站附近有超級超級多家便利店和餐廳,還有5號線可以直達kspo。 ②地下B2層公共區域有四種免費拉麵,每天可以變著花樣吃。還有免費咖啡機。公共洗衣機和烘乾機是各4000won用兩小時,可以跟前臺換散錢。但是要注意前臺晚上9.下班,晚上需要零錢洗烘衣服的話最好提前換🥲晚到了也可以用自助機辦理入住。
最後是認為可以改進的地方:①進門和進門後進電梯前各有兩步階梯,如果加個斜坡會更方便大行李箱進出了。
②雙床房的佈局不太合理,洗手間和浴室都很狹窄,17平的房間住起來感覺比15平的還擁擠,青旅的公共浴室反而寬敞許多。
但是性價比還是很高,工作人員也很禮貌。

Our stay was very pleasant! Convenient location, all clean and new, smiley faces of personnel. Free ramen, water, tea and coffee, laundry and drying self service machine for 4000 wons (prepare cash in case you want to do laundry at night bc no one can give you change).
In our room there were fridge, hair dryer, toothpaste and toothbrushes, sleepers and very good bedding and towels.
The double room not very big, but I knew that, I wish there was some more shelves on the walls for little things and clothes
Highly recommend, especially for that price
