This was my first time staying in a capsule hotel and it was decent enough for my two night stay. It was clean and tidy which is the main thing, and was in very close proximity to the beach! The capsule actually has a good amount of room but the mattress is very thin. If you are not used to a firm bed or mattress then you might struggle with getting comfy, but its manageable for a couple of nights. There were two bathrooms in the women's dorm and I never had issues using them whenever I needed to. Overall a good place to stay if you are here for a short period 😊

Nice hostel right next to the beach. Staff was very friendly and check-in was smooth. You can tell the hosts care and keep things clean. Beds are a little hard and room was a little noisy with people coming in late at night. Wonderful cafes around the area.

I fell in love with this place. Just the perfect, quiet stay by the beach. There are cute restaurants and cafes around, and you can fall asleep to the sound of waves. The owner was so kind - he even offered me some gimbap for breakfast. I hope I will have a chance to go back someday, it truly felt like a dream.

No elevator, bunk on top (so have to climb a ladder up n down, no doors just thin seethrough curtain, mattress is like 1" thick on wooden floor, people talking or snoring all night, so no sleep. Was hot and noone knew where the aircond remote was. Minimal breakfast.. I had paid for 8 nights (as everwhere else was booked out) but stayed just the 1 night, as other hotels had cancellations and availabillity now.. worth the no cancellation cost for comfort and sleep. On the plus side, was near beach, lots of eating places near, and OODD italian restaurant next door.. carbonara to die for! AJ

Tiny but convenient hostel room.

Hostel capsule was efficient and easy. Although full, it was quiet when I was there. The mattress fills the cubicle but nice touches include a small window and plugs you could use for charging a phone.

최고 가성비

촤고의 가성비입니다. 깨끗한 편이고요. 캡슐 같은 공간 쓰고 공용 샤워실과 화장실 쓰는데 있을 것 다 있어요. 게다가 항시 배치해 둔 커피랑 아침에 주시는 김밥과 토스트, 컵라면도 감동입니다. 저는 운 좋게 빌런 투숙객 없어서 잘 쉬고 좋았습니다. 엘리베이터 없고 캐리어 펼쳐 쓰기는 좀 힘듭니다. 주차는 어렵긴 하고요.

リーゾート地なので仕方ないのかもしれませんがコスパ的には良くないです。普通のカプセルですが、これで5000円という設定はあまり聞かないです。バスの本数が限られており、タクシー移動が現実的です。

가성비는 좋은데.. 조금은 아쉬운....

아들과 여행이라 잔뜩 기대하고 갔는데.. 1층이 치킨집과 같이 쓰는 주방? 테이블이라 좀 어수선하고 기름냄새가 많이 났네요.. 2층 남자 숙소는 에어컨 20도로 정말 빵빵하게 나옵니다.. 2층침대칸에 잤는데.. 수건걸이나 선반 옷걸이가 없어서 조금 불편했네요.. 벽면에 고리만 돌려껴서 박아놔도 샤워후 젖은 수건, 옷가지들 걸어두면 좋은데.. 늦은밤 12시~새벽1~2시까지도 잠금장치 전자키 "삑삑삑삑삑" 잠들만 하면 들락거리는 소리에 불편했네요.. 잠금키 버튼소리 무음이나 최대한 볼륨 작게 설정해두면 될것을 일일이 숙박하는 사람들 열고 닫고 드나드는 소리 정말 신경쓰였어요.. 아침식사는 개인이서 토스트나 우유,시리얼, 계란후라이 , 라면 선택해서 간단히 먹을수 있어서 좋았어요.. 가성비는 좋지만 조금만 더 신경쓰면 더 좋을거 같아요..

Excellent! Great value for money

This place has a perfect location, close to the beach, cafes, shops and restaurants. Service is great, with the sweetest people you will ever meet. Guests staying were nice and respectful to the rules, so it was a comfortable stay. Showers and beds were spotless. The area is perfect for a morning run and chilling with your friends at the beach in the sunset with a couple of beers. Highly recommend this place.

Nice ocean view and location but noisy

A capsule essentially turned out to be like bunk beds with 3 walls and a curtain as the fourth wall. More than a dozen females shared one large room. With 2 shared showers. So. It was a bit noisy especially when people used the key pad to open and close the main door all night. And you had to wait to use the bathroom. But. I had a window by my bed with ocean view and the staff were very nice. So if you are a patient person and heavy sleeper. It works well for beach access

I was staying in town for the Winter Olympic Games. The owners of the hotel could not have been nicer. It is a hostel, so it is very small surroundings… But very nice! The community bathroom is very clean.
