始めてのゲストハウスで緊張していたんですが部屋も綺麗でスタッフの方も親切。べットルームは、オンドルが入っていて暖かかった。ゲストハウスの隣にはオシャレなカフェ・裏通りには夜遅くまで空いている飲食店もあり駅にも近く便利でした。朝もコーヒー・オレンジジュース・ゆで卵・食パンが食べれてこの価格でしたらとても良いと思います。

旅館的位置是在中央路站附近的長胡同旁邊，長胡同本身就是一個觀光景點，跟這裡相映成趣

我當天有Late Checkin的情況，但透過hotel.com網站的聯絡旅館功能，順利聯絡到旅館也感謝服務人員願意等我一下(抱歉耽誤她的約會時間..呵呵)，也感謝她提供往機場的公車資訊，旅館的位置是在中央路站附近的長胡同旁邊，長胡同本身就是一個觀光景點，跟這裡相映成趣，住宿的空間雖然有點狹小，但是令人驚喜的是裡面竟然有獨立衛浴空間，是個很熱情溫暖的hostel

Great location, basic facilities

Great location, walking distance to Dongsung-ro(shopping & cuisine street) and subway station. I wouldn't say the room was very cozy, but it had everything an accommodation should have. The room charge is super cheap and overall I had a pleasant stay.

立地と価格と利便性の備わるゲストハウス

地下鉄もバス停も近くて空港からバス（101又は401）で一本、繁華街の東城路は歩いてすぐ。遅くまで遊ぶのにもとても良い立地。 隣にはオシャレなカフェがあり、近所には麻薬パンの店もある。 まさにゲストハウスで、バスタオルとリネンを渡され自分でベッドメイクする。共有リビング有。冷蔵庫、レンジも使える。フロントはAM8-PM10まででそれ以外はオートロックキーがかかるのでチェックイン時の説明をよく聞かないといけない。共有PCもフロントの開いてる時間のみ利用可能。 ベッドは木製で金属のきしむ音が苦手な私にはありがたかった。 ８ベッドの部屋だったが結構キツキツにベッドが詰め込まれているが、ベッドルームと別に４畳ほどのスペースがある。 シャンプーリンス、ボディソープ、ドライヤーあり。 トイレの紙は流してはいけないタイプ。 トイレとシャワーが一緒になってるので、シャワー使うと床とサンダルが濡れるゲストハウスによくあるパターン。洗面台の水も排水管ではなく床に排出されて排水口に流れるようになってる。 暖房はあったけど、冷房があったかは未確認。 ゲストハウスなのでホテルのように清潔とかはないけど、普通に清掃はされています。 ただ寝るだけなら十分だし、とても安いので1人の時はまた利用すると思う。 私が宿泊したときは平日で、8人部屋を一人で使えました。

行裡較大只有窄窄的樓梯要搬上搬下不太容易,附近很熱鬧要吃飯很方便,要坐公車或是地鐵也不遠,早餐事簡單的麵包跟果汁,員工還有主動詢問是否要咖啡,出門還可以再櫃台寄放行李

また訪れたくなるホステル

親切なスタッフで、一人旅でもグループでも心地よく過ごせます。日本語や英語を話すスタッフがいるので、韓国語ができなくても安心です。 アメニティは、シャンプー、リンス、ボディーソープ、歯磨き粉がついています。小さなサイズのバスタオルがついていて何も言わなくても、翌日には清潔なタオルを置いてくれていました。数分歩けば繁華街の大通りがあり、観光や食事には不便を感じません。 フレンドリーなスタッフと清潔で雰囲気のよい施設、また訪れたくなるホステルです。

Clean, Polite, but No Hot Water!

The establishment is run under the ethos of promoting empathy especially for North Korean refugees. It is very cheap yet everything is so clean and generally available, including washing machines, computers, study rooms, etc. They provide you with clean linen but you have to make your own bed with it. They even give you complimentary coffee at the lobby. Breakfast is also free and consists of toast, jam, coffee and boiled eggs. Only problem with the place is there is no hot water!

立地は最高、部屋も広め

私が滞在したときは改装中で１、２階がない状態でしたのでこのゲストハウスを正しく評価できないと思いますが、現状での感想を書かせていただきます。 まず場所は地下鉄の中央路駅の出口から徒歩３分ほどと便利、薬令市へも徒歩３分ほどですが、個人的には中央路駅の反対側の繁華街が近いことの方にメリットを感じました。散策して楽しいのは後者でしょう。また私は海印寺へ行ったので使ってませんが、八公山へ行くバス停も徒歩５分くらいのところにあります。 私の滞在中はラウンジと呼べる空間はあってないような状態で、受付兼ラウンジ？は客室の５０２号室を改造して作られてました。日本語で書かれた案内書を渡されるのは便利ですが、それによると本来は洋式の朝食が提供されるようですが、滞在中はトースターは置いてあったものの、カップヌードルを勧められました。実際コンロのない客室で卵料理を作るのは無理ですので、カップヌードルはやむなしでしょう。珈琲はミルク・砂糖入りのスティックしか選べません。個人的には好きですのでいいですが。 滞在中は朝食時間の朝７時まで５０２号室は施錠され、館内に職員はいない状態でした。 改装後はたぶん１階に広々としたカフェのようなラウンジができ、快適な滞在ができることでしょう。 余談ですが、中央路の宿への最寄りの出口から徒歩３０秒くらいのバス通り沿いに”ほか弁”があり、買えば二階で食事をすることができ、ここが最も安上がりでしょう。日本にありがちな弁当が中心で韓国らしさに乏しいですが、チゲ＋ご飯系もあり、これを頼めば韓国らしい食事を安価に楽しめます。二階席のカウンターからはバス通りを見下ろせるので、観光気分を盛り上げながらの食事も可能です。 部屋でＷｉ－Ｆｉを使えることになっており、２系統ありますが片方は繋がらず、片方はしょっちゅう切れるのでストレスフルでした。特に夜の１０時から１２時は使い物になりません。夜中でも安定して使えず、遅いなと思ったら必ず切れている有様でした。メールチェックならできましたので最悪ではなかったですが。

Great guest house!!

Empathy is one of the best places I have stayed. The staff are friendly, even on occasion inviting me to participate in the hotel BBQ and other events. The hostel is very close major shopping and eating areas and not far from anything in particular in Daegu. Staff are helpful always and there are many staff so someone is always around. Rooms are cleaned daily too
