Depending what you need could be ok

They have a suitcase scale which can help you when packing back up to go home so that’s nice. The mattresses are hard with springs stabbing up, possibly just box springs not mattresses? The pillows are hard! They give you bath mats for towels. Sometimes they give a bigger one, you have to ask to have that changed so I just bought my own from Daiso. There is a lot of mold in the bathroom because it’s meant to be Korean style where the whole room is a shower room but it hasn’t been waterproofed so black mold grows everywhere. The walls and floor are damaged and dirty. The sink in the first room just drained onto the floor so don’t wear socks while using, the sink in the second room clogged and would be almost over flowing before I could wash my face. The room smells musty, probably because of the mold so you wanna keep the window open but staff and guests smoke and talk down there so pick your thing you can be patient with. Although it says they clean the room you actually have to ask them to do that if you “need” it. If you need a hotel for a quick trip, like one night, it is in a very good area that’s easy to get to anywhere. They are nice but I just think it needs a renovation so it could match up a bit more with photos. I would call it more of a business hotel than anything else. Good for short not long stays.

周圍晚上較危險 獨自旅行要注意 廁所可能有菸味 床墊凸彈簧

原本預定四晚，但住了兩晚就提前搬走，因為晚上周圍比較危險，有喝完酒的男人會在小巷聚集，附近也睡不少流浪漢，雖然可能不會真的接近路人，但因為整棟旅館坐落在小暗巷內，我自己一個人旅行，所以危險感加倍...。 另外，旅館雖然規定禁菸，但廁所通風口是各房間連通的，應該是有某間房在偷抽菸，所以早上打開我的廁所門裡面竟然滿滿的菸味(算是我的底線啦所以覺得不行)。 我被分到的三樓房間的床長得跟照片不一樣，原本以為會是架高的床(床看起來舒服是我訂這間的原因)，結果只有一個放地上的床墊，而且輕輕摸就可以摸到凸凸的彈簧，一壓就會有嘎吱聲，睡起來好不舒服，我住的其他旅館雖然只是傳統的地上厚墊，都還比較舒服...。 但優點是櫃台隨時都有人，晚上check-in沒問題，態度也不錯，洗澡水壓水溫很穩定~ 如果平常在鍾路一帶活動，希望找便宜又有獨立衛浴的，這間cp值應該還可以，但如果想要玩得舒服一點的人建議再考慮一下喔~

場所はソウル駅から地下鉄１号線で２駅と絶好の位置。多分ミョンドンなどの観光客が行く有名繁華街にも少し無理すれば徒歩でもいけるくらい。地下鉄でも乗り換え入れて５駅くらい。何より周辺が地元の人たちばっかりの大繁華街です。歩いて回るだけで楽しい。 ホテルは駅から大通りを通って、少しだけ路地に入る感じ。立地は最高です。ホテル自体もリニューアルされているのか、外装、内装はそれなりにきれいです。部屋も十分広い。ただ、４Fなのに階段だったり、シャワーとトイレが一緒、そして虫が何匹かいました。だいたいどんな部屋でも大丈夫な私でもちょっとギョっとしました。そして、チェックアウトが朝５時頃だったのですが、フロントに誰もいない。 「寝るだけ」と割り切れる人には値段も含めて最高。私も夜10時に入り、朝５時に出たので割り切りました。立地と値段と値段の割のきれいさは最高なんですがねー　次回は少し考えます。

Good location. Cheap. Terrible room, subpar cleanliness. Bed is spring mattress that is hard as F. Air conditioner does not appear to have been cleaned for many years. Bookers beware. Photos on site appear to be from when the hotel initially opened as in reality, it kinda looks like that but with a dirty tinge. Mould and dirt in bathroom. Bathroom is tiny (shower and toilet are the same thing).

An OK place that is hidden away.

It is a bit hidden down an alley. By current landmarks, look at the 7/11 and go left until you see and opening and walk down. On discount, it is a great place given location to Insadong, embassies, museums, and palace. The information here says 24 hour front desk, but it's my understanding that there is no one there between 1-8 AM. I've stayed in better places, but I've also stayed in far worse.

서비스, 청결 최악, 돈을 조금 더 보태서 위생적으로 믿을만한 곳에서 숙박을 하시기를.

너무 저렴한 곳을 찾지 마시고 돈을 조금 더 주더라도 위생이나 청결에 문제가 없는 곳으로 예약하시기 바랍니다. 저희는 첫 방에서 수건, 침대 시트, 이불 3군데에서 정체모를 노란 액체를 발견했는데, 표면이 거칠고 반짝이는 걸로 보아 세탁을 하지 않은 상태란 걸 알았고, 처음에는 수건이랑 이불에서만 발견해서 교체를 했는데, 시트에서 다시 발견한 뒤 방을 변경했습니다. 문제는 이 일련의 과정에서 스탭은 단 한번도 사과를 하지 않았고, 마음 같아서는 환불해달라고 하고 싶었지만 일정이 늦게 끝나서 그러기도 힘들었습니다. 아마 외국인 손님 분들이 많아서 스탭분들도 한국인들은 아니셨던 것 같은데, 결론적으로 서비스와 청결도는 역대 최악입니다. 도움이 되셨으면 좋겠네요. *Direct google translate* Do not look for a place that is too cheap, and even if you give a little more money, please make a reservation for a place that does not have any problems with hygiene or cleanliness. In the first room, we found yellow liquids in three towels, bed sheets and blankets, I saw that the surface was rough and shiny and I had not washed it, At first, I only found a towel and a futon and changed it, but after I found it again on the sheet, I changed the room. The problem is that the staff did not apologize once in this process, and I wanted to ask for a refund It was too late because the schedule was late. There are probably many foreign visitors, so it seems that the staff members were not Koreans either, In conclusion, service and cleanliness are the worst in history. I hope this helped.

Отель в подворотне

Местоположение отеля очень удобное: в двух шагах от станции метро Jonggak (11 выход) и в начале сувенирной улицы Insa-dong. Сам отель прячется в узком переулке, на повороте в него есть ориентир - музыкальный магазин. Номера тесные, и к этому мы были готовы. Что стало неожиданностью - крайне минимальная уборка. После просьбы убрать номер, видно, что сложили новые полотенца (пятна на них изменились) и заправили кровать (без смены белья). Полы стали даже ещё грязнее, чем до уборки. Все кроватные принадлежности в пятнах, как и полотенца. + мягкость самой постели сравнима с мягкостью лавочки. Йог умер бы от зависти, а мы - от хандроза, если бы задержались дольше.

ロケーションは良いが、部屋は微妙

仁寺洞にも駅にも近くロケーションは良いです。でも暗い路地にあるため危ない雰囲気。ゲストハウスをホテルと言ってますといった感じで小綺麗ではある。スタッフは普通。部屋は一見内装は綺麗。ベットリネンは使用感、シミあり。バスルームのドアは今にも壊れそう。着いて早々ネジが取れた。2泊しましたが掃除無し。2日目にはバスルームにあり得ない程大きな虫が這っていて驚愕。今後はちゃんとしたホテルに泊まろうと思いました。

リピートしましたが最悪でした。以前は３Fの部屋だったので快適に過ごせたのですが、今回は1階の部屋でした。他の方も書いていましたが、下水の臭いが苦痛となり、またトイレも詰まりました。フロントの人は学生アルバイトのようなで挨拶もないし聞いても対応できないし、何か会ったときはどうするのかと思いました。駅が近かったので、駅を利用しました。場所はいいのに残念です。これから借りる方は部屋の確認をしておいた方がいいと思います。

24時間スタッフ滞在しているから深夜チェックインできたのは良かった。 スーツケースは広げられるぐらいのコンパクトなお部屋。 3日間泊まったが一回も掃除がなかった。 トイレが流れなくなり吹き出してしまいそうでスタッフを呼んだ。 下水臭いとは口コミに書いていたがやはり臭かった。 食べ物やさんやコンビニは近くにある。 一人なら我慢できる範囲。
