It's located at the back of a dark alley, so it might be a little unsettling at night.

It was listed as a hotel, but it’s actually a hostel—I was totally misled by the description and photos, and it wasn’t even cheap. You’d be better off booking a real hotel.

写真とは全然違う！

掲載されている写真とは程遠く部屋の壁紙はほぼ浮いていたりテープで貼り付けてあったりと酷くびっくり！ 部屋に入ると小蝿・ゴキブリ、ベットにはダンゴムシが2匹！　エアコンは汚すぎ使いませんでした。　部屋に殺虫剤が置いてあるので宿も虫が出るの分かっているのでしょう！

立地は素晴らしいが、施設がそこそこ古い。 壁の一角には黒カビが、換気が悪い感じ。 バスタブは無く、トイレの横でシャワーだが、シャワーを壁に掛ける物もなく、手で持つしかない。 清掃は行き届いていた、廊下には荷物用の重量計もある。 料金相応のホテルでした。

호스텔 분위기 났어요. 동네 자체는 별루 좋진 않아요. 그건 그렇다고치고 침대 시트가 청결하지 못했어요. 가게 주인은 세탁을 한 건데도 때가 지지 않은 거라 했는데 그럼 그나마 다행이고 침대시트 안 갈아 끼웠을까봐 걱정이였어요.

エアコンつけたらガリガリと大きな異音がして、壊れるか不安だったけどつけ続けたら30分ぐらいで音は消えた。 シャワーの温度が不安定。床に髪やホコリで清掃が行き届いてないけど、まぁこんなもんかなと思いました。 ゲストハウス慣れしてるので部屋の広さは申し分無し。 外観や内装は可愛かったし、1階にフルーツ置いてあるのも嬉しい^^

安さ重視ならアリだと思います。立地はとても便利です。東大門のkyochonチキンの裏辺りにあります。真夜中のショッピングにも便利です。 ただとても狭いです。ツインに泊まりましたが2人ともがスーツケースを広げるのは無理でした。シャワーを浴びるとトイレも濡れます。でもこのスペースは清掃が行き届いていて清潔感あります。 部屋の中に洗面台があります。テレビの横に無理くり作ってある感じです。ゲストハウスをよく利用される方なら問題無いと思います。
