Very great location! It’s is near to the train station and this train station is very convenient with 3 lines(No. 1, 3 and 5.) Around the guest house are many restaurants and convenience stores. The staffs are friendly and really helpful. Will come back, if i have a chance to visit Korea :)

対応言語に英語、日本語も書いてありましたが、入国手続きに時間がかかり、チェックインに遅れそうだったため電話したところ、韓国語しかわからないと言われ、非常に困りました。ホテルにいるスタッフも韓国語しか話していないようでした。（たまたまなのかもしれませんが）エアコンのリモコンも韓国語で書かれていたため、使い方が判りませんでした。窓が浴室にしかないため部屋の臭いがなかなか抜けません。

東大門や南大門から徒歩で行けてアクセスが良い。鍾路３街駅4番出口から狭いですがエスカレータがあるので階段を使わずスーツが運べて金浦駅にすぐ乗れます。建物の最初の出入り口にセキュリティーが有るのが良い。フロントでPC使えたり無料wifi、コーヒー、お茶が飲めるのも助かります。安く泊まり近くにも色々店がある便利な所なので、多少夜は煩い時がありますが、総合的に良いです。お宿のスタッフもとても親切です。

약간의 불편을 감수하셔야합니다.

방음이 안되고 화장실 좁고 바디샴푸및 린스가 방 밖의 공용책장에서 가지고 와서 써야한다는 약간의 불편함을 감수해야하지만 주인분들 매우 친절하셔서 저로선 매우 편안하게 지내다 왔습니다. 종로3가역 7번출구와 매우 가깝고 어디 다녀와도 편도 30분 안팎이라 편리합니다.

So far so good

Two things I didn't like the hostel. 1. It was located at a back street full of eateries. It was very loud at night when we opened the window. If you close the window and have the ac on, it would be fine. However, we went in May, it's too cold to use AC but too stuffy with the window closed. 2. The bathroom was very moldy and stinked really bad. There was no fan, no window in the bathroom. I asked the owner for an air refresher. He was nice enough to provide one. Other than that, the hostel was located very conveniently for travelers. It's just a couple minutes walk from the subway. It was close to a few attractions and there were many good restaurants to choose from. I won't go back though because of the bathroom condition. If you are not sensitive to smell, it is a good place overall.

少し不愉快なホテル

ホテルの立地条件はとてもいいのですがオンドルがあまり聞いてなくとても寒いし部屋には窓もなく暗い部屋でしたダブルの部屋に泊まったのですが金額の割には全然良くないです冷蔵庫はもともとないと記載されていたけど窓ぐらいはあるかと思っていたので飲み物を少しぐらい冷やすのならば窓の所に置いておけばいいかなと考えてましたが窓もなくベットの頭の所にシャワーとトイレ室があるのではとても快適には過ごしましたとは言えません

ロケーション良し！

一人女性でシングルに宿泊。鍾路３街７番出口すぐにあり（細い路地に入るので最初わからなくて、通りすがりのおばさんに教えてもらいましたが。）スーパーもコンビニも近くに有り便利。少し歩いて５番出口ならエスカレーターが有り、金浦行の地下鉄にすぐ乗れます。キッチンや冷蔵庫も利用できます。東大門まで徒歩30分位で通えるところが本当に良かった！一応耳栓はしていましたが、夜は少しカラオケとかの声が聞こえる事がありました。寒くて冬はお勧めしない、とのレビューが有り、防寒着を持参。夜10時帰宅時にはオンドルで暖かかったのですが、夜中オンドルが切れている時があり寒くて防寒着を着て寝ました。次の日その事を伝えるとそのあとはしっかりオンドルが入り、布団をもう1枚貸してもらったので暖かったです。布団とシーツで毛布系が無いので、ちょっと心配で念のため防寒着を下に敷いて寝ましたが。。。1Fでネットも使えますし、宿のスタッフもとても親切です。私は好きなもの食べたいので朝食なしの方が有りがたかったです。アメニティーは石鹸だけですが、タオルは置いてあるのでいつでも使えて便利でした。冬に行かれる方は100均の便座カバー持って行くと良いですよ。お尻が超ー冷たいので。又リビしたいと思います＝！

駅近、焼肉屋さん近い

金浦空港駅から地下鉄一本で行けるロケーションで、最寄駅からも近かくて良い。ホテルの周りが焼肉屋さん街なので、焼肉が好きな人にはとてもいいところかもしれません。
