This was a perfect place to stay for me and my friend. It is the best stop to be as you are close to train stations and attractions by taxi. The staff are very friendly and inviting. The rooms are extremely clean, warm, homely and cosy. I would definitely stay here again whenever I go to Seoul.

Grupo de 3 chicas. Las camas eran cómodas, el huésped facilitaba 2 toallas pequeñas cada día, disponía de cocina y lavadora que me parece cobra aparte. Para nosotras fue ideal el secador de pelo. Está cerca de una salida de metro y varios restaurantes típicos coreanos. Me sentí segura y cómoda. La habitación es pequeña pero así es el estándar coreano. Lo recomiendo

空港リムジンバスでのアクセスが非常によく、ホステルは清潔で、なによりオーナーさんがとても親切な宿でした！ベッドやシャワー、タオル類などどれも宿泊には十分なもので、旅慣れた方におすすめできるホステルです。トイレ水洗もシャワー水圧温度も全く問題なく快適でした。場所も静かなところで、夜も静かに過ごせました。今回は2泊でしたが、長く滞在する方は洗濯機の利用も出来るそうです。近くにコンビニやオリヤンも数店舗あり、東大門周辺まで歩けば24hの飲食店も沢山あり便利でした。とても親切で優しいオーナーさんで、また東大門〜明洞周辺を中心に観光する際にはこちらに泊まりたいと思いました。

口コミ通り！親切で快適です。

口コミが良かったのでここに決めましたが結果とても良かったです！チェックインの時からチェックアウトの時まで快適に過ごせました。場所もバス停があちこちにあるのでどの方面にも割と出やすいです。ゴミも外に出していれば捨ててくれます。シャワーの水圧もカーテンも申し分なし、真冬の滞在でしたが部屋もあたたかかったです。タオルもフロントで自分で取れるのが嬉しいです。使い終わったタオルは廊下に入れる場所があります。フロントのおじさまも、寒くないですか？など気にかけてくださり、毎回会うたびに挨拶してくれます。韓国語で会話していましたがとても優しい方です。チェックアウトの時に外で雪かきをされていたので、私は自分で荷物を2階からおろしたのですが、呼んでくださればいいのに...！！と気にしてくださってました。タクシーを呼んだことを伝えると荷物も載せてくださりお気をつけて！と見送ってもらって最後まで気分良く過ごせました。また泊まりに行きますね。 사장님 친절하게 대해주셔서 감사했습니다!! 항상 건강하시고 새해 복 많이 받으세요. 또 이용하게습니다.

東大門歴史文化公園駅5号線7番出口を右に出て、左に曲り真っ直ぐ進み、すぐにありました。ソウルからは4号線で東大門歴史文化公園駅に、向かったので5号線7番出口まで結構歩きました。東大門の市街は徒歩で行けるし、明洞なども電車でのアクセスはとても良かったです。ティッシュが部屋に置いていないのと、シャワーは扉とカーテンを閉めても床に水が漏れてしまうので毎回シャワー後はタオルで部屋の床を拭きました。寝るためだけのお部屋には最適だと思います。ドライヤーは部屋に置いてありましたが、歯ブラシ、などのアメニティーはないので持参が必要です。コンビニも近くにあるのでとても良い場所でした。また、スーツケースの重さを測るための体重計も入り口付近に置いてあり、借りました。管理人さんも優しくてこのホテルを選んで良かったです！

2023年の12月31日から1月６日まで滞在しました。地下鉄の駅から２分ほどの駅近ホステル。周囲には、安めのレストランやコンビニ（３分以内に３つ）・スーパーが立ち並んであり、非常に便利。東大門歴史文化公園駅は、地下鉄が３本乗り入れており、どこの観光に出かけるにも、非常に便がいいです。ホステル経営は、１人でされているとのことで、日本語も上手でしたから、安心でしたし、徒歩５分圏内のおいしいレストランを３つも紹介していただきました。部屋は、きれいで静か。私は、６泊しましたが、１回も室内清掃をお願いせずに過ごせました。もちろん、治安も良く、夜も周囲は明るいです。ソウルの真ん中で、こんなに安くていいのか、と思い、口コミを書くことにしました。
