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。

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！

この値段なら問題ない。
ホテルで寝るだけなら、お安いのでオススメです。部屋もきれいです。 まだ寒い時期でしたが床暖房？があるので、部屋は快適でした。 シャワーは湯量・温度が安定しない時があります。トイレに紙（使用後）は流せません（備え付けのバケツにいれます）。 朝食はセルフです（パン、ヌテラ、ジャム、シリアル＆牛乳、甘いスティックコーヒー、紅茶ティーバッグがあります。食材持込で調理も可。電子レンジあり）。 スタッフさんは普通に親切です（日本語は片言、英語OK）ので、リピーターの方や高級なサービスがいらない人には向いていると思います。

Best place in Seoul! Highly recommended!
Great location, subway is just nearby and dongdaemun is within walkable distance. There are buch of restaurants and gwangjang market in the neighborhood. Room is actually quite spascious, bigger than I thought. Housekeepers clean everyday, so its clean and neat. All their staffs are friendly, even gave me gifts when I came and when i left as well. Recommend to spend some time on the common area to meet new people, as I did. Enjoy my stay and cna't wait to go back again.

最差訂房體驗! The worst hostel booking experience ever!
After confirmed the booking and payment through Expedia, Airhostel sent us a private email mentioned that it’s fully booked and wanted us to cancel booking. As we think that’s unfair,so we contacted Expedia and after lots of phone conversations,we first got offered to a hostel nearby provided by Air Hostel,but none of the hostel details can be provided,we tried to google the hostel and couldn’t find any article/website/photo,so we’ve refused this offer.Expedia then offered us another hostel and we’ve confirmed on the morning.We thought that's it, but then Expedia called us again in the afternoon, told us AirHostel suddenly said room is available.Even we don’t trust Air Hostel anymore, we’re not allowed to reject as it's our primary choice. We arrived Seoul in the morning and stored our suitcases at AirHostel and went back to check-in at 15:30,BY THAT TIME the staff said they couldn't provide us a room due to the pipe nonfunctional problem.(WOULD U BELIEVE?)But we're tired to argue again, so we agreed to move to another hostel even no transportation would be provided, as we just wanted to settle asap.But this rubbish hostel requested us to cancel booking with Expedia again, before settle us with the new hostel(they weren’t planning to go to the new hostel with us and not feeling sorry).It's unreasonable!We argued with the staff and finally got a room from AirHostel, after wasted nearly1.5hour.Our joyful mood was destroyed by this stupid hostel.We will NEVER choose Air Hostel!

Please do not write a fake Review! Dear Guest,(Hong Kongese) We know you who made problem in our hostel. When you checked out, you tried to steal our towels and blankets. Our staffs just found out it was not in the room and asked you where it is. But you kept saying "I don't know..." before we called police. After police came , you started to say "Sorry", got out blankets and towels from your bags...ha..ha.. We have many Hong Kongese guests. All of them are very friendly and lovely. At that time, we could send you guys to a Police station. But you are young and kept saying Sorry and cried.. We just forgave you guys. But you left this fake story.... We never do that kind rude service for guests. We hope you guys be better per son. =)

Gute Lage, der Flughafenbus 6002 hält in der Umgebung. Subway Station (Dongdaemun)nur wenige Minuten entfernt.Hotel befindet sich in einer kleinen Seitengasse, wo es viele Restaurants und Shops gibt. Personal hilfsbereit und nett. Frühstück war nicht aufregend. (Toast,Erdnussmutter,Marmelade,Schokocreme,Müsli sowie Tee). Hatten ein kleines Zimmer mit Stockbett und eigenem Badezimmer. In der Gemeinschaftsküche kann gekocht werden und Laundry service wird auch angeboten. Super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis wenn man nach einen Budget Hotel sucht.

以價錢來說還可以
洗烘衣服都是要付錢然後拿給櫃台人員讓他們去清洗，毛巾要付一萬押金才會給，住的雙層床插座只有兩個有需要的可能要另外帶延長線，沒有電梯這次又住四樓所以搬的很累，但房間空間很大行李箱能完全攤開，只有浴室有拖鞋所以也要自備拖鞋。
謝謝您的評價～我們房間浴室裡面都有附毛巾喔，是只有大條的浴巾才會收押金一萬韓幣，但歸還毛巾的時候就會返還押金的。我們的房間裡面都有附六孔的延長線耶，是不是在地上所以沒看到？如果有讓您感到不便的地方真是非常抱歉，歡迎下次再來喔：）

The hostel is located few mins away from subway station and close to Dondaemun shopping area. There are plenty of restaurants in the alley and a giant traditional market just across the street. The room was comfortable, cozy and well heated when we entered. They emailed us detailed information such as transportation in advance, and then gave us suggestions on where to visit, nice restaurants nearby...etc when we checked in. Really appreciate their hospitality there. Nothing to pick at.

Best budget hostel with high quality in Seoul!
A very quiet, cozy place to spend a night after shopping all day at Dongdaemun. Location is perfect as well, only about 3 minutes walk to subway and bus stop. Staffs were so enthusiastic and friendly, they helped me a lot on planning my trip and gave me some useful tips like you can enter Gyeongbok palace for free if you wear traditional Korean outfit...etc. We love to chill out in the common area, hang out with other guests and watch sunset on the terrace. Room was fully equipped with everything we need and they keep it clean and tidy. All in all, a perfect stay. I'll definitely come back next time!
