Its in a convenient area due to its proximity to dongdaemun market, insadong, ikseongdong, and cheonggyecheon stream. However, the area around the hostel is quite creepy at night. While korea is generally safe, I felt more uneasy in this area. Otherwise the hostel itself was clean, breakfast was decent and the rooftop is super cute. I stayed in a private room, which had a nice large bathroom, big bed and the AC worked well. However, there wasnt a lot of floor space for my luggages or anywhere else to store my things to organize myself during my stay. Also, the lack of an elevator was quite exhausting being up on the 4th floor, dragging my heavy luggage. Staff were very kind and helpful in getting my luggage up the stairs though!

Upon arrival the staff welcomed us with a local snack. We arrived a couple hours early and they were accommodating and we were able to get to the room super fast. We had two rooms, one on the 2nd and one on the 5th. Despite the walk up, I really enjoyed our 5th floor room. We were only there for one night but it was more accommodating than other places we have been. They even held our luggage after checkout and give us a goodbye treat!

Very affordable. Very close to Jongno 5 ga subway station. Walking distance to Hyundai City outlet Store. With convi stores nearby. The only problem is that we stayed on the 5th floor and if you have heavy luggages they don’t have an elevator. They offer free coffee all day. Breakfast is free.

スタッフが皆さんとても感じよかったです！ 予約時にウェルカムギフト付きと書いてあったのですが、チェックインのときにお菓子が貰えました。 ホテルの近くには恵化まで行くバス停があり、大学路にミュージカルを観に行くには大変交通の便がよかったです。 お部屋は清潔で、スーツケースを広げられるだけの広さがありました。 バスルームについては、トイレとシャワーがいい感じで離れており、トイレが濡れることはありませんでした。 ただ1つ、シャワーの水圧が弱かった…！ でも居心地がよかったので次回の渡韓で空いてたらリピします。

清潔でコスパが良かった

立地や金額から清潔度が心配でしたが全く問題なかったです。部屋も水周りも掃除が行き届いていてとても綺麗でした。シャワーの水圧や温度も問題なかったです。 個人的には不満はないですが、改善点をあげるとすれば、テレビやエアコンの操作方法が韓国語しかなかったことくらいかなと思います。

2025年8月13日〜15日に 2段ベットの部屋を利用しました。 部屋が狭くエアコンが直ぐに効くので 良かったです。 タッカンマリ通りを目的にするなら に近くて良いです。 DOOTA MALL、NYU NYU、MIMI LINE、dundunも歩ける範囲です。 基本的には満足でしたが、 シャワーの水圧が、お湯の場合弱くなり 冬場は問題あるかも。 トイレは紙を流さないタイプでした。 隣と真向かいが風俗店なので 思春期のお子さんがいる場合は微妙かも。 コスパ的には満足なホテルでした。
