Probably all the "guesthouses" in this district are overpriced and low quality like this one. Bed sheets were not fresh and there was no covering for mattresses. Bathroom was clean. A/C in common area (kitchenette) was nonoperational. Curtain frame fell off in the middle of night. It's an acceptable place to stay but you can find many other regular hotels in other areas that are better than this with similar price.

Every one has his own set of standards, it's alright to describe us as a "low quality" guesthouse if we do not meet your high standards. However it's not true that you said we did not give fresh sheets and mattress covers to guest! It's impossible and it definitely will not happen in our guesthouse. We are not a hotel, we do not turn on common area A/C 24 hours. If there's no one is in the common area, we turn it off. Simply because we think about the environment.

One night in the 5 bed female dorm was just as good as the first time! Welcoming, clean and close to much food, PT and entertainment. Breakfast is above average including 2 choices of tasty cereal and milk.

Clean, Great PT and Eats Location
Easy and precise instructions from subway line 2. Quick check-in, clean and comfy bed and nice size towel. Rent a padlock for lockers or bring your own. Rooms and bathrooms seemed to be wiped clean every day. Quiet indoors after midnight, but the outdoor crowds can get loud, so bring earplugs. Female dorm has make up and dressing area so private wet bathroom csn be used for shower and toilet needs. Plenty of trash cans and they are cleaned regularly (this is so rare in a lot of hostels)! Breakfast includes 2 types of tasty cereal with milk, tea, coffee, bread, butter and jam. About 8 ppl can eat together comfortably, on the bench and stools. Slippers provided at entrance. Shoe changing area is small so wear/bring shoes that are easy to slip in and out of. Nice outdoor seating area near several eateries, very closeby. Definitely are great hostel I would stay at again.

隔音很差，很像是木板隔間，外面人經過撞到牆面，房間內會聽到聲音。晚上12:00櫃檯服務人員男生進來換床單很奇怪。在首爾住其他青年旅店，即使沒有24小時櫃檯服務，仍會事先mail讓客人知道大門密碼，但這家堅持晚上12:00前入住，現場才告知大門密碼，服務人員去聚餐了雖然告知會趕回來，但我比約定入住時間提早到10分鐘，要在大門外面等服務人員聚餐走回來。早餐不ok、到晚上12:00外面還很吵。

夜12時頃、宿舎に戻ると、エントランスの鍵が壊れていて、開けられずにとても困った。スタッフの方に電話をしても出なくて、メールをして少ししたら返信をくれて、宿に来てくれて対応してくれました。 私は韓国語が話せるのでよかったものの、韓国語を話せない場合はかなり大変だったと思います。 やはり個人経営の宿舎はこのようなトラブルがあるんだなと感じました。

Hi. We do not pick up phone calls in the midnight. However we still try to be as responsive as we can if we get emails. We did not expect the gate door lock to be broken in the midnight. We responded to this issue and got it fixed immediately next day. We speak Korean, Chinese, English, Cantonese and some Japanese, guest do not have to worry about having communication issue with us. We thank you for your review.

とても綺麗で、快適に過ごせました。ホンデからの行き方は迷います。外見の写真があまり載っていないので、外見で探せず苦労しました。 お部屋はとてもお洒落で綺麗です。2人で泊まりましたが、スーツケースは1人ずつしか開けません。また、テレビを見ることを１つの楽しみとしていましたが、テレビは無くそこが1番残念でした。途中掃除に入ってくれましたが、タオルがなく…誰がスタッフさんか分からず、自分たちで持ってきたタオルで拭きました。 マイナス面ばかり書きましたが、部屋自体はとても良く、スタッフさんも優しかったです！！一人で泊まっても清潔だし、繁華街が近いので安全で過ごしやすいと思います。また利用したいと思う所でした:)

다시는 안갑니다. 비추천.
1층 다인실 이용했는데 공용공간 바로 옆이라 사람들이 떠드는 소리 다들렸습니다. 밤에는 난방을 안트신건지 도저히 추워서 잘수가 없었구요. (창문 쪽 침대) 제일 짜증난건 사람들 다 자는 새벽시간에 개념없는 외국인 남성분이 스피커 폰으로 쩌렁쩌렁 통화를 하시던데요, 방에 있던 저포함 주무시는 분 둘 다 깼어요. 그뒤로 잠을 못잤구요. 관리인 전화를 해도 불러도 누가 저지하는 분이 없었습니다.

보통 밤12시부터는 조용히 관리를 시킵니다. 그전시간엔 게하라서 좀 시끄럽지요. 난방은 외국인들이 너무 덥다고 해서 조절합니다. 외국인 게하 손님은 빵처럼 구워지면서 잠을 자는것을 싫어하는 것이 상식이니 이해바랍니다. 체크인 할때 설명지에 써있는데요. 저희는 저렴한 숙소라 다음부터는 같은 금액이니 찜질방에서 주무시길 바랍니다. 조용한 개인프라이버시와 다인실에선 좀 무리네요.

酒店跟地鐵站還不是太遠，約十分鐘可到，3人房還有私人浴室，價錢合理。Wi-Fi，暖氣，熱水都可以。提供的早餐是簡單多士，栗米片及鮮奶。可以自備杯公仔麵。弘大是吃貨中心，你大可吃到半夜的。但如果你是身高6尺的高人，床還是不太合適。職員都有禮貌，用密碼鎖出入，合早出晚歸人仕。
