Too many mosquitos

The location is ok and continent but the dorms are paper thin and regardless to the fact that the window was open it felt stuffy There were tons of mosquitos each night so it was impossible to sleep. (Despite the fact that the windows had nets on them

Great place to meet other fellow travellers but I should have just stayed at my other hostel in Myeongdong for the whole time given the place is far from the main places I wanted to go to, and costs roughly the same. This place doesn't have an elevator so if you have heavy luggage you'll be dragging it up some stairs. It's quite dirty and there is a gap under the cabin curtains so no complete privacy. There was also a sock left hanging on top of the curtain, presumably from the previous guest that slept in my bed. If you have an upper bed, the wooden stairs are slightly broken on the side so there's risk of getting splinters if you're not careful. Powerpoints are indented so any big bulky travel adapter you have won't fit, and you'll have to buy a small one that can accommodate for your big adapter at reception. There are also no lockers for your belongings. To get a towel you had to pay a rental fee. The shower facilities weren't that great, with things broken. Check-in was also quite slow, as I waited 30 minutes in line. Recommend you leave your luggage at the reception area and go do whatever you need to do and come back later when you're free. Owner was also openly vaping in the building.

Trevlig personal. Bra ställe om man vill hitta vänner. Hostelet har bbq night, kareoke night och liveband vilket var väldigt trevligt. Rummen och duscharna var inte de fräschaste och renaste jag sett men ok för priset.

雖然櫃檯人員還蠻親切，但不是很舒適，剛check in到房間發現我的床並沒有被整理過，還有上個住客的使用痕跡，而且環境篇髒。 還有女生房間的浴室蓮蓬頭架兩個都壞掉也沒有人修。 在女生房間派男清潔員，進房時也都沒敲門，感受並不是很好。

カプセルホテル型の寝床ですが、清潔感がありました。寝床にはライト、鏡、貴重品入れがありました。それぞれの寝床はカーテンで閉じれるので、目線を気にせず落ち着いて寝れました。隣の人の動く音が聞こえるほどの防音なので、こちらも音はだせません。お店の方の雰囲気がとても良かったです。ドライヤーやシャワー、洗濯機などもしっかりありました。コスパはとても高いと思います。また利用させていただきます。
