Guest Reviews

• kyoko (7/5): - アクセスがとても良かったです 部屋の広さも十分でした 少々古い感じがした点でしょうか
• Amy (8/5): - Recommended. Small room - a bit run down, but clean. Hot water good wifi. Great location. Staff was friendly Loved having a kitchen area for a cup of coffee & breakfast bite.
• YU-TUNG (9/5): - 離地鐵站出口很近，且位在2號線及5號線附近，可不用轉車就直接到景點。櫃檯小姐人很好，還幫我們點外賣 房間內只可攤開一個行李箱，要與朋友輪流打開行李箱，空間稍微小一點。廁所燈&走廊燈過一段時間就會熄燈，對要有燈光睡覺的人來說不太友好
• Ryosuke (8/5): -
• Ramona (10/5): - Haben für 13 Nächte hier übernachtet Zimmer war vollkommen ausreichend Bad war gut Klimaanlage und Kühlschrank vorhanden Mitarbeiter allesamt freundlich und hilfsbereit Es gibt einen Gemeinschaftsraum mit Küche und großem Kühlschrank Wasser in Flaschen konnte man sich jederzeit nehmen Über den Hintereingang kann man direkt zum Aufzug. Lage ist sehr gut. Ein Markt, diverse Restaurants und viele Bus- und Metrohaltestellen in der Nähe Nach Myeongdong läuft man ca. 30 Minuten Waren zufrieden und würden es wieder buchen. Preis-Leistung top.
• Supandi (9/5): - Friendly staff, washing machine, unlimited water, umbrella provided, kitchen to use and great location for good value. Room is a bit tight to fit many luggages.
• Abegaile (7/5): -
• RIE (6/5): - 立地も良く、部屋も広くて、スタッフも親切でした。 価格の割に満足していましたか、タオルが臭すぎて使えませんでした。 雑巾臭がすごかったです。
• Jeanette (7/5): Good -
• Mineko (8/5): - 本当は教えたくないのですが　バスの便利さ　放っておいてくれる快適さ　私はとても気に入ってます。　ただ洗面台の排水が詰まって　中々時間がかかったことが残残念でした。もう定宿にしたいくらいです。
• Tan (7/5): Good -
• Jude (9/5): Good for Winter Stay in Seoul. Heating is reliable. And room has the basic essentials. - Location was excellent - within walking distance to Gwangjang Market - and near 2 subway lines. The airport bus dropoff and pickup is within 5 mins walk. A little tricky to find the correct main elevator (not the one pinned in the maps) and close to drinking bars.
• Mineko (8/5): - コスパと立地が良くて　利用してます。明洞までバス乗り換え無しでいける便利さ　東大門までもバスで行ける　広蔵市場まで徒歩圏内がとても便利。館内の臭いが気になった。 のが良かった。
• Rotem (4/5): הוסטל עם מיקום ומחיר טוב אבל מתקנים גרועים - The location was good and the price. We get an option for free laundry 1. In our first night, our air conditioning was leaking. 2. Under the air conditioning there was an electrical cable that was exposed to the water and create electricity accident. 3. When we told that to the stuff they “fix” it and said that we will get refund for one night. Eventually after that 3 different persons promised us to get money they didn’t bring us any money. 4. Our room was dirty and there was huge insect.
• Henry (7/5): Good -
• Batmunkh (1/5): Bad -
• Serhat (10/5): Comfortable & Good Location - Room was clean, staff was friendly and helpful. Lobby has free tea, coffee and water along with a kitchen. I am happy with my stay. Location is really good near both subways and palaces are close-by.
• Felix (5/5): Passable -
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location and friendly staff. We could store our bags at the hostel after check out. There is free coffee and tea and hot water which we appreciated. We stayed a night at another accomodation in the same price in the area and this is by faaaaar better. Highly recommend!
• Eden (10/5): Fantastic stay, great location and friendly staff. - Super good location across from the street market and a short walk to downtown areas. Could have had milk and sugar with the free coffee?
• Mdm (6/5): Pleasant -
• Yorisa (9/5): A great place to stay. Value for money. - I'm looking for a place with elevator. But when I got there (late at night), there was stairs before I could reach the elevator. If only they told me that there was no stairs if I enter from the back of the building. I found about this the next morning. The kitchen is on the 5th floor. Free tea and coffee. You can see the Cheonggyecheon Stream from the kitchen's window. There's no convenience store near the hotel that sells vegetables.
• Yuna (1/5): Bad - Nothing. Room was disgusting and had stains on the bedsheets, doona. Hair was everywhere. Someone's eyelash in the vanity etc. im surprised i didnt see cockroach but plenty of flies in the room. I left after staying for half a day - even talking about cleanliness and other things, receptionist or manager will jst say "we'll change the room, or clean" They need better communication skills as receptionists dont even know what they are talking about and lack of customer service.
• Gino (8/5): Very good - Near the station. The room was spacious. There was only 1 CVS nearby.
• Saiful (7/5): OK. - Water Bottle block my door on two ocassion, cannot open my door in the morning as the bottles were placed right in front of the door. Had to push hard and stick my hand out to move them before was able to open door. Uncharacteristically as it can be dangerous when they are an emergency. Please take note to ensure room 501 door is not blocked by water bottles.
• mineko (6/5): - バスは広いけど　ガラスの壁にお掃除が出来てない（掃除してないから　歯磨き粉？の白い汚れが気になった）この値段でしたら　充分満足です。女性客が多いなと思ったのと　立地条件がとても良く　地下鉄の駅も近い　広蔵市場にとても近くて　東大門も近い　明洞まで歩いていけないこともなく　もしまた行くようなことがあれば　利用したい。タオルも自分で持ってくる　お掃除はしてくれないけど　私はその方ご気が楽だった。ホテルはリノベーションしてきれいだが　まわりのたてものがかなりふるそうだった。
• Buyanjargal (6/5): Pleasant -
• Csenge (8/5): Very good - The house is located in a side-street, but the metro and the bus stops are just a minute away. The room was adequate, perfect for a short stay.The beds are comfy, and you can ask for a cleaning, if you need it. The staff was super friendly and helpful.
• Daniel (5/5): Passable -
• Mercedes (8/5): - Good small space for a couple days
• YU-CHENG (6/5): - none
• Gabija (6/5): The location really helped traversing Seoul, room wasn't great, but served it's purpose. - Metro station was really close, so travelling around Seoul was easy. The alley the outside entrance is in didn't look great and the room wasn't perfectly clean. It wasn't bad and didn't affect our stay, but could have been a tad better.
• Anne (5/5): Passable - The size of the room. Common area like kitchen are dirty and the staff don't care. It doesn't matter how long you are staying too, they will not clean the room. You are free to take supplies like bathroom tissue and trash can liners so you can clean up yourself tho. Hot water shower ran out and its the middle of winter. The rooms don't heat up fast enough too.
• Sara (8/5): Worth it!! - Great deal for the price. Close to public transport and it is close to tourist areas nearby by train. Clean and good service. Comfortable beds and good heater for cold weather. Me and my friend are satisfyed!
• Ewa (1/5): Not recommended - We received different rooms that we ordered. Everything is rather overused or broken. Relatively far from subway.
• Sze (9/5): good accommodation, worth to stay for short or abit long trip. - this is 2nd times booked this hotel. convenient location. less than 3 minutes walk from Euljiro 4-ga station. *** make sure to get into the building at the backdoor if you want to take escalator from the ground floor *** room and bed are clean, bathroom is super large. Free of charge : self-service 24hr common room provides with hot-ice water machine , 2-3 induction stoves , unlimited different of cooking stuff (eg, knife / pan / wok /cup / plate ) , toaster and standard fridage . common room likes a small canteen and outside view just right next to Cheonggyecheon청계천. bathroom stuffs (towels , toilet tissue , body wash , shampoo ) unlimited refill (also self-service). cloth washing machine with washing power can be used any time , there are many shelves to air-dry in open area. counter staff delivered excellent service. one of them proactively helped me to reserve taxi service until taxi confirmed order. (Kakao taxi no longer provides service to non-account user even cash pay. it requires register with local citizen identification number. but 6 months ago I could took Kakao Taix with cash pay) drainage in bathroom is easy to get stuck and water flooding happens in 2 minutes. small fridge facilities in room did not work. it runs but no cool air.
• Ying (7/5): Good - Good location Bathroom is not very clean
• Hajah (8/5): Very good -
• Daiki (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nora (9/5): Great location and good value. -
• Marta (8/5): Very good -
• Derek (8/5): Very good -
• Kieran (8/5): Very good -
• Verified traveler (10/5): NICE PLACE - fast to check in, friendly staff. very close to train station. lots of restaurant nearby.
• Mei'en (5/5): Passable - The receptionist (who worked on the weekdays) is very friendly, kind and helpful. He gave us good recommendations about where to go, and helped us book kakao taxi as we couldn't do it on our phones. He speaks good Korean, Chinese and English. We used Chinese to communicate since we are all Chinese. There is a shared pantry area where u can brew your coffee and eat your breakfast. There was no hand soap except dish detergent initially, but later on I saw the receptionist bought one which was kind and observant of him. We didn't like the fact that the room size seems the same across all room types. We booked 4-people room but the room is not any bigger. There is barely walking space once we placed our 4 baggages on the floor. The bed sheet looked dirty, we saw black stains or marks on the bed sheet and pillow. It was honestly quite disturbing to see these but we didn't want to make a fuss about it. However the room is really small, we had to navigate our way and meander around our stuff with great difficulty despite trying our best to tidy our things. We requested to change room the following day, and the receptionist showed us a room which has larger corridor space near the door, where we can put our baggage. It was a little bit more spacious but it was still not easy to move around. Wouldn't recommend for 4 ppl to stay in this hostel, but it is suitable for 1 or 2 ppl to stay. We chose this place because of the location and read past review that it is spacious, but probably not for 4 ppl.
• Unnur (6/5): Pleasant -
• Roy (7/5): Good -
• NATSUMI (8/5): - 寝に帰る分には最適です。 口コミを見て行ったので入り口で迷うことはありませんでしたが、2階までスーツケースを運ぶ必要があります。 いつでも出入りできて、最終日も早く出れて良かったです。 廊下にゴミ箱があるので溜まったら自分で出してました。 頼んだら掃除もしてくれます。 枕元にコンセントは無いように見えましたが、差し込み口は沢山あって良かったです。洗面所にもあります。 ドライヤーは固定です。 シャワーの出し方が分からなくて連絡したら、日本語のできる方が部屋まで来て教えてくれました。 特に変な臭いがすることも無く、快適に過ごせました。 お世話になりました。
• Sharifah (10/5): value for money - near to subway station & bus stop very friendly owner n staff
• Trung (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious room Easy check in Close to metro High-pressure shower head Will stay again when visiting Seoul! Was able to hear guests in the next room.
• Deepak (9/5): Superb -
• Fitria (9/5): Superb stay and services! - Everything was great! Helpful staffs, great location, and comfortable functional space! Love it! Limited parking space..
• Ontheera (10/5): Exceptional - big room, more space, I can put all my things near subway, we can walk 2 mins to subway green line
• Verified traveler (8/5): 立地は便利 - コンセントの埃や、下水管のような臭いが気になりました。それ以外は観光名所から近く、立地が良かったため満足です。 受付の方も丁寧でした。
• Mathias (7/5): Good -
• Leanne (10/5): Lovely Room - would stay again! - Really good location once you figure out the subway and buses, definitely get a T/M Pass from the airport as this will be a lifesaver. Bedroom was decent sized and bathroom was good - showers were hot which was amazing. You can pick up clean towels, more soap etc. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to cook with if you choose too and John was lovely too. Really welcoming and friendly.
• Andrea (10/5): Exceptional -
• Baptiste (10/5): Exceptional -
• Damien (10/5): Great place for the price ! - Very good price for what you get ! John is super friendly and I appreciated the free laundry and shared kitchen. I found some long hairs in my room so it wasn't super clean. Also there is no natural light into the room so it looks like night all day, it was a bit disturbing!
• Christoph (8/5): Very good -
• Ru_______00 (10/5): Exceptional - The location is around 5 minutes walk from the hotel to the subway, room are clean and near to some tourist attractions. Also, Sajangnim is very kind too.. Opsoyo..Everything is Okay ^^
• Cosmin (8/5): Very good -
• KIMIYO (8/5): 広蔵市場がすぐ！駅も近い - 広蔵市場まで徒歩5分程度で、とても使いやすい。 乙支路4街駅もすぐそばにあり、清渓川沿い。 立地が良いです。 パスタがありませんが、シャワーブースはちゃんと仕切られているのがよかった。 部屋には冷蔵庫、ドライヤーあり。 布団やシーツ、清潔でした。 オーナーもフレンドリー出て日本語が通じて、とてもよかったです。
• Nitchakarn (10/5): recommend this place will comeback again! - stuffs were really nice fast reply email, accommodation was only 1-2 mins from station. Price was real cheap will all sharing accessibility.
• JINSIK (6/5): 그런대로 괜찮았음 - 방은 깨끗했고 청소도 좋았고 공간도 혼자 지내기 불편함이없었는데 저녁에 좀 시끄러웠고 나머지는 좋았음 시내에 있어서 위치가 너무 좋았고 공용시설도 비교적 괜찮았음
• JEAHYUN (8/5): 가격대비 좋았습니다. - 가격을 생각하면 불평을 할수가 없지만 조금 아쉬웠던 점이... 침대 아래쪽 청소 상태와 수건에서 제 경우 40% 정도의 확율로 냄새가 나서 사용하기 힘듦... 좋왔던 점은 지하철, 편의점, 재래시장 가까워서 지갑에 놀고 있던 온누리 상품권 잘 사용 했습니다. 싱글룸 예약 했는데 트윈침대 있는 방으로 배정 받아서 방도 좁지 않았습니다. 잘 지내고 돌아 왔습니다 . 감사합니다.
• Seunghyun (8/5): 가성비 좋은 숙소 - 저렴하고 편안한 숙소였어요.
• Verified traveler (6/5): 을지로4가역 좋은 위치 저렴한 숙소 - 1. 저렴한 가격, 좋은 위치 2. 침대 상태는 좋지 않음. 수건 맟 물품은 제공 3. 화장실은 넓고 깨끗한 4. 출입구가 으슥하고 좋지 않음 5. 아침은 식빵과 인스턴트 커피만 간단히 제공
• yoshiyuki (10/5): - ソウルのゲストハウスの中では平均以上。トイレも他のゲストハウスはトイレットペーパーを流せないけどここは流せる。シャワー室がガラスで囲われている。トイレとシャワー室で広さも畳3枚位で広い、他のゲストハウスは畳１枚の広さでシャワーとトイレが有る
• Verified traveler (8/5): - お兄さん以外は日本語が話せないので少し韓国語話せる方をおすすめします。。布団がじめっとしているのが気になりました。あとはこのお値段なら満足です！お兄さんの対応もすごくよかった！ありがとうございました！
• Ching Yan (8/5): 不過不失之選 - 洗手間有陣坑渠味, 有點感覺不良好。 床比較硬。花灑水力夠，但去水慢，會倒灌。
• TING (8/5): - 有玄關走道 廁所另在那 讓房間變成方正格局 地板算是乾淨沒有看到毛髮 廁所乾濕分離 洗澡會積水 但是算目前我住過的乾的快的 洗澡水量也不錯 吹風機風量也比以前住過的地方大 除了有點老舊和小偏僻 其他都很棒
• AYAKO (10/5): - 毎回利用させていただいてます! 東大門、弘大、梨大などどこに行くのも近くて電車で移動するのにとても便利な場所で良いです! ホテルは少し照明が暗いのと、もう少し清潔感があるといいです。
• MENGTSE (8/5): 物美價廉，CP值算高 - 如果只是單純休息用，這間真的物美價廉，CP值算高，櫃檯人員親切，基本上都遇到會說中文的，WIFI順暢，這次住的是3人房(含私人衛浴)，空間算大了，唯一缺點是衛浴間會滲水到外面走道，還好與房間還隔個門，另外吹風機只是掛在牆上，吹的時候機座自己掉落，最後乾脆放在桌上
• Verified traveler (4/5): - 地下鉄駅から近く、エレベーターやウォーターサーバーがあって便利でした。初日に排水口が詰まっていて水が流れずフロントに行くと髪を洗ったからだと言われたのにはびっくりしました。もう二度と泊まりません。
• SEO (8/5): - 저렴한 가격에 넓고 깨끗해서 좋았어요. 화장실쪽에 환기가 잘 안되는지 냄새가 약간 났어요.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely experience in the centre of Seoul! - The location is amazing! It's only 1 minute away from exit 4 of Euljiro-4 (Sa) - and there are a few restaurants near the hostel. And it's quite quiet at night and it's very neat and clean - looks just like the picture! You can even store the luggage in the hotel if you are staying in Seoul pass your check-out time.
• kk (8/5): - 安く泊まったので文句は言えないが私が泊まった部屋の窓がきちんと閉まらないからなのか風が吹いたらキュッキュと不気味な音がなって気になった。 最終日にタオル挟むと音が止まったので窓の問題だったようです。もし泊まられる方は試してください。スタッフはとてもめずらしぐらい愛想も良くいい人達でした！また近くに用事がある時は利用したいと思います！
• Kokorozashi (8/5): - まどがちいさいのが難点です。 他は快適に過ごせました。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Hôtel relativement bien situé, personnels très agréables, bon rapport qualité prix !
• terashima (10/5): 良かったです！ - シャワーの排水が悪かった。そのほかは◎でした！
• beautiful (8/5): - コスパも立地も悪くないと思います。 深夜到着にも対応して頂けました。 トイレの中が仕切られたシャワールームになっていてトイレや洗面台が濡れないのも使いやすくて良かったです。 ただ周囲一帯が暗く人通りが一切ない道なので少し怖かったです。
• AYAKO (10/5): 満足しています。 - 周辺の移動にとても便利で静かだったので居心地もよく助かりました。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The whole stay was remarkable
• Jan (8/5): ห้องพักสะอาด - เดินทางสะดวกสบาย เดินจากสถานีไม่ไกล ใกล้ตลาดกวาจัง
• Jan (8/5): - การเดินทางสะดวก เดินไม่ไกบจากสถานี ทางออกสถานีเป็นบันไดเลื่อน แต่ก่อนจะถึงบันไดเลื่อน ต้องผ่าบันไดก่อนนะ ใกล้ตลาดกวาจัง และตลาดอาหารทะเลแห้ง บริเวณโดยรอบค่อนข้างเงียบสงบในเวลากลางคืน พนักงานที่เกสเฮ้าส์สื่อสารภาษาอังกฤษได้ดี ก้องพักสะอาด อุปกรณ์ครบ มีตู้น้ำดื่ม มีผ้าเช็ดผม
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice and affordable place to stay in Seoul! - The location is very very convenient, hotel provides simple breakfast (bread and spread). Staff were very friendly and approachable.
• すず (8/5): - シャワーとトイレに仕切りがあり、しかも広くて使いやすかったです。 ただ冷蔵庫は奥行きが無く、ペットボトルも立てて入りませんでした。 地下鉄からも近くて、少し頑張れば東大門や明洞にも歩いて行くことができとても便利でした。
• Verified traveler (10/5): 깨끗한숙소 - 객실내부는 깔끔 그자체였어요 불편한점이라면 기본적인 세면도구들을 로비에서 가지고올라와야한다는점? 비누정도는 있을줄알았는데 그것도 가지고올라와야했다는...ㅠㅠ
• Jongmin (8/5): 호스텔 제이스테이 이용후기 - 들어가는 입구가 2군데 있는데, 찾기가 조금 어려웠어요. 카운터는 5층이며, 주차시설이 확보되지 않아 주차는 알아서 하셔야할듯. 아침조식은 식빵과 딸기잼, 버터가 전부입니다. 전반적으로 저렴하게 이용하는데 만족하는정도입니다.
• コーチ (8/5): 広蔵市場まで２分 - 地下鉄　乙支路４街４番、５番、出口から２分、広蔵市場まで２分というところにあります。　出口にはエスカレーターがあります。　出たらそのまま真っすぐ前方に行きます。 右側にはミシン修理の店が並んでいます。細い２本めの路地をよく見るとホテルの案内が出ています。オレンジで닭（トリ〕と鶏肉屋の看板が出ています。うっすら汚い路地を入ると３軒目ですが、入り口は材料の問屋です。（驚きました）その横にエレベータがあります。５階が受付です。清渓川が横に流れにています。橋を渡ると広蔵市場です。 部屋はと言うと、シャワー室が広く、トイレとのしきりがあります。 コンセントもあるので、浴室でドライヤが使えました。　冷蔵庫はとても小さいです。廊下で水と湯がとれました。部屋にはコップがないので、５階の談話室から紙コップを持ってきました。朝食はパンとバター、ジャム（２日目からなくなりました）甘いスティックコーヒー、お茶だけです。部屋には長い机があるので色々物が置けました。掃除は申し出ることになっています。シーツも取り替えてくれました。評価はまずまずでしょう。
