Its in a convenient area due to its proximity to dongdaemun market, insadong, ikseongdong, and cheonggyecheon stream. However, the area around the hostel is quite creepy at night. While korea is generally safe, I felt more uneasy in this area. Otherwise the hostel itself was clean, breakfast was decent and the rooftop is super cute. I stayed in a private room, which had a nice large bathroom, big bed and the AC worked well. However, there wasnt a lot of floor space for my luggages or anywhere else to store my things to organize myself during my stay. Also, the lack of an elevator was quite exhausting being up on the 4th floor, dragging my heavy luggage. Staff were very kind and helpful in getting my luggage up the stairs though!

Upon arrival the staff welcomed us with a local snack. We arrived a couple hours early and they were accommodating and we were able to get to the room super fast. We had two rooms, one on the 2nd and one on the 5th. Despite the walk up, I really enjoyed our 5th floor room. We were only there for one night but it was more accommodating than other places we have been. They even held our luggage after checkout and give us a goodbye treat!

Very affordable. Very close to Jongno 5 ga subway station. Walking distance to Hyundai City outlet Store. With convi stores nearby. The only problem is that we stayed on the 5th floor and if you have heavy luggages they don’t have an elevator. They offer free coffee all day. Breakfast is free.

我覺得很棒！
熱水非常燙（太燙）冬天的話不用擔心 雖然是上下舖，但是睡得很好 唯一比較辛苦的是搬行李上下樓，但是staff非常親切友善，幫忙了我們。 另外，5樓的公共空間非常棒 比較可惜的是，居住的地方靠近紅燈區，晚上需要留意下，但是我們沒有遇到什麼危險，不需要太緊張。

スタッフの皆さんは、とても優しくて親切でした。部屋の中も清潔でした。ただ、エレベーターがなかったので大変でした。リムジンバスや地下鉄の駅も近くて、便利は良かったです。余談ですが、五階に共有スペースがあるのですが、私たちが泊まった時、夜中の1時過ぎから、十数名が大騒ぎしていて、眠れませんでした。共有スペース内に注意書きなどがあるといいなと思いました。

방음 안되고, 협소해요
애들 데리고 가는건 정말 비추 입니다. 옆방 물내리는 소리까지 다 들리고, 침대와 베개는 냄새가 좀 나요. 그리고 조식은 코로나 때문에 제공되지 않으니 조식포함이라고 표기하신건 지워야 할듯요. 그냥 여관입니다.

駅から歩いて5分ほどでした。ホテルまでは少し裏道を通りますが特に問題はありませんでした＾＾ 受付では笑顔で接してくれましたし、また日本語も勉強されているみたいで会話にも困りませんでした。ですが日本語が通じない方もいらっしゃるので英語は多少なりとも必要になると思います！ 部屋はとても綺麗でキャリーケースを２つ広げても全く問題ありませんでした。床暖がとても暖かく寒さに関しては問題ありませんでした。お風呂場はトイレとシャワーが一緒で仕切りなどがないので多少困惑すると思います。シャワーの出について様々な方が口コミを投稿していましたが、確かに出は悪いですがそれほど気にはなりませんでした。アメニティーに関してはバスタオル（そこまで大きくはありません）、シャンプー、ボディジェル備え付けがありました。歯磨きなどはないのでご持参された方が良いと思います。 トイレに関してはトイレットペーパーが流せないので匂いが多少気になると思いますが換気すれば大丈夫だと思います＾＾！！ 共有スペースに冷蔵庫やIHコンロ、電子レンジがあり自由に使えるので食生活に関しての不便はありません！使い方が分からずフロントの方に聞いたら親切に教えて頂いて嬉しかっです！ テラスは写真通りとても可愛くて若い子達にはとてもいい場所になっていると思います！ 観光地の東大門までは歩いて行けますし交通の便も悪くないのでここに決めて良かったと心から思います！帰りの際にはキャリーケースを下まで運んでくれてとても助かりました＾＾ また韓国に来た際にもリピりたいと思います！
