Needs a clean
Not sure if it's because of the pandemic or if it's always been like this, but the place really seemed to need a cleaner. Stayed for several days (out of which we stayed two in the hostel the entire day due to having online classes to attend) and didn't see anyone clean any part of the hostel even once, and the bathroom and hallways seemed permanently stained with mud. It also smelled liked cup-ramen in the whole place and me (natural blonde) and my friend (pink haired latina) found black, asian looking hair in one of the beds. Now the place was CHEAP so I wasn't exactly expecting a five star experience, but given that my friend prefered using the public subway bathrooms over the ones in the hostel I think it's fair to be a bit critical.

首先必須承認此價格住宿~為非常性價比高之選擇🙂 位置:離鍾路5街站步行幾分鐘就到👍而且可以一直步行至東大門區域(尤其適合深夜想要購物及食宵夜之旅客);雖然附近有紅燈區事業但並無嘈吵/騷擾情況發生~僻靜但未致於感覺危險~ 服務:住宿了六天~由check in至check out~未有見過任何工作人員~可說是全自助形式~ 房間:房內無異味~有地暖及小暖爐保溫~沐浴水溫平穩又水速充足~床鋪都瞓得舒適~唯獨床單及毛巾有污漬(建議使用自備的) 環境:裝潢較殘舊~但安静~以旅館價格而言不應要求太多~個人覺得可以接受~

ゴキブリは確実に出るので覚悟してください
8月の下旬に5泊で利用しました。韓国は慣れており、女性1名です。 【良かった点】 ・基本的にセルフチェックインセルフチェックアウト、荷物もフロント横に自分で預けておけば自由に出入り可能なので楽 ・冷蔵庫は共同ですが大きいサイズなので自分の物を保管できる余裕はあります ・洗濯機が使えるので洗剤もあったようですが私は自分の洗剤を持っていきました。操作方法は翻訳機を使って意外と簡単に使えました、1時間ほどかかります。 【悪かった点】 ・セルフチェックインですが自分の名前がなかったのでメールで問い合わせをした、すぐに返答があったので良かったが、これが返答なかったらどの部屋に入れば良いかわからなかった ・シャワーの排水溝がすぐに詰まって2日目以降から毎日浸水しながらシャワーをした ・排水溝からたくさんの小さなゴキブリや虫がうじゃうじゃ出てきた ・ちょうど良い気温だったのでクーラーをせずに寝ていたら自分の体にゴキブリが這い上がって来て夜中に何度も目が覚めた ・毎日ゴキブリとの戦いだった。最終日に巨大なゴキブリ登場です ・共用スペースのテーブルでご飯を食べていたら目の前にゴキブリがいた ・ゴキジェットスプレーが共用スペースに用意されていたのでそれを使いましたが、やはり出ます、苦手な方は来ないほうが良い ・滞在中、メールを送っても無視される ・各部屋に用意されたTVは普通のテレビが電波がありませんとなりどの電源を入れても見れない。bビデオ?みたいな有料で番組や映画やドラマが見れる機器につながっており、基本テレビは消したままでした。テレビっ子なのでこれはさすがに残念。現地のテレビが見たかった。 ・各個人部屋は共用スペースを囲むように位置しているので、夜遅くに他の宿泊者の話し声や動画を見ている音量などでうるさくて眠れない ・冷蔵庫に入れたものが誰かに飲まれていた、名前は書く必要がある ・入り口から共用スペースまでの匂いがキツイ、独特の匂いでちょっと吐き気がする、部屋に入るとマシになる ・エアコンのクーラーはちょうど良い温度にはなりません、寒すぎるか、消すと暑い、除湿にしても寒い ・トイレは共同です。たまにそのトイレでシャワーをされる人がいるので、2台とも埋まっていたら待たないといけない 以上のことから、それなりに覚悟を持ってきたほうが良いです。もしくはすぐ近隣にある同系列の「スイート」の方がまだ綺麗そうでした。
最終日に出てきた巨大なゴキブリ
排水溝から出てきて息絶えたゴキブリ、ナメクジ?虫たち

I stayed private room. I stayed for 3 nights and found 3 roaches and 1 bug. My body was itchy all the time because of dirty bed. Sound deadening does not exist in this facility. No towel and body soap(just shampoo) No amenities. I will not recommend to stay here.
