서비스에 신경좀 써주심이

이용하는데 크게 불편함은 없었는데 젊은 여자 호스트분들 사무적인것을 넘어서서 조금 불친절하네요 별점이 낮은 결정적이유 같네요

Ça dépend...

Un peu mitigé: la guesthouse est propre, et le bâtiment correctement entretenu. Les chambres sont partagées, avec des lits superposés, sans séparation par des rideaux ou autre - ce qui aurait été appréciable; mais c'est tout à fait normal au vu du prix très bas! Chaque chambre a sa salle de bain individuelle, propre - et ça c'est un chouette plus! Quelques bémols toutefois: la guesthouse se trouve à proximité de la gare ferroviaire et non routière: les environs sont moins sympas. Mais surtout: il y a une petite trotte depuis la gare, mais la majorité des trottoirs sont défoncés ou à "grain épais" (c-à-d pas lisse) - ce qui empêche aux valises de rouler facilement (elles roulent quand même et/ou il faut les porter par moment; mais si vous êtes chargé, ça vaut le coup de prendre en compte). Donc SI vous comptez venir en bus, ça peut valoir le coup de chercher du côté de la gare ferroviaire plutôt . Enfin, la réception n'ouvre qu'à partir de 9:30 et il y a une caution de 10000 Wons (~8€), donc si vous devez partir plus tôt (comme moi) vous devrez vous asseoir dessus: ce n'est pas énorme, mais si vous ne restez qu'un jour ça double quand même le prix du séjour... À ce dernier bémol près, le rapport qualité/prix est bon.

こじんまりとしたアットホームなホステル

光州駅の反対側なので、繁華街にはちょっと不便だが、バス、タクシーを使えば問題なし。近くには安いレストランや酒場も多く、コンビニも近くて深夜に小腹が減っても好都合だった。毎晩、若い韓国人のホテルスタッフと宿泊客で「パーティ」？あり。韓国語がわからないと参加できないが、いろいろな意見を言い合っているようで、政治意識が高く、議論好きな全羅南道気質を垣間見た気分。客室は清潔で居心地よし。

最高のゲストハウスなのに、高速鉄道が乗り入れなくなって

ゲストハウスだが充実したシングルルーム、ダブルベット、でも格安。 しかしとうとう、光州に高速鉄道の乗り入れなくなったことに、光州について気づいた。 光州ビエンナーレを目的にする場合、もはや駅近の格安ホテルとして使えなくなってしまった。 次回から、地下鉄駅か、高速バス乗場近くのゲストハウスに移ることだろう。

나쁘지 않았습니다.

좁지만 깔끔했습니다. 체크 아웃~이름 오후시간에 스탭분들이 아예 1층 자리를 비우시는 점이 조금 아쉬웠습니다. 위치는 광주역 근처라 ktx역과도, 터미널과도 거리가 조금 있는 편이고 근처에 맛집 등등이 부족했던것 같습니다. 그래도 조용하고 괜찮았습니다. 방충망이 있음에도 불구하고 틈이 남아서 모기가 들어오던데 그 부분은 체크하시고 개선해주시면 좋을 것 같습니다. 감사합니다.

静かなロケーションのホテル

徒歩5分で光州駅に行けるが、ここからの列車が少ない。近くのバス停からバス1本でバスターミナルまで行ける。 周辺はあまりにぎやかでないので、食事などは他で取ることになる。 朝食はトーストとスティックコーヒーを勝手に食べる。朝はスタッフがいないので、キーデポジットはカウンターにあるメモに振込先の口座を書いておくと、後日振り込まれる仕組み。(外国人は前日の夜に返金） また夜9時から、ビールサービスで同宿舎の交流会も時々行われる。外国人の宿泊者は少ない。

아....

다른 것보다도... 체크아웃 시간을 따로 정해두지 않아서 좋기는 했습니다만... 청결에 좀 더 신경써야 할 듯 싶어요. 화장실이 얼마나 더럽던지요.... 여행을 다니면서 서로 좋았던 점에 대해 공유하는 건 좋을듯싶으나.. 밤늦도록 다른 여행객에게 피해주면서까지 시끄러웠던 곳이라 저는 비추하고 싶습니다. 조용하게 쉬고 싶으신 분들에게는 더더욱요.

The staff members were nice and helpful. Unfortunetly we had to travel by taxi each time since the location wasn't that great but this is our bad as well. Other then that, great food around, bring a dictionary since there is no english word in the menu. You are not in a tourist area.
