ABSOLUTELY FILTHY.
This experience almost made me fly straight back home. - Intense mold smell everywhere - the linen is filthy. Mine had crust spots on it the owner claimed were "cleaning solution". Would be funny if it wasn't absolutely disgusting. - Bathrooms are unclean and the ancient plunger sat in a "puddle" in my floor's bathroom. - The shower room is moldy and dirty - Hole place felt so unclean I slept above* the blankets, in the clothes I'd worn all day and travelled internationally in. The front desk man Joon was understanding, but his boss was not. He was aggressive, dismissive, and thought he could intimidate me out of my refund. Nope! (I'm assuming he's a slumlord in general, but it could not have helped that I was a young solo female traveller.) BUYER BEWARE! I would SKIP Korea before I stayed in a place this gross. Don't do it!

No customer service. Most of the times didnt have towels. But easy to get to and no other hassles. Not bad. Could definitely need more customer service on site

Excellent!
Honestly, I loved it. 10/10 recommend and would do again. At no point did I have contact with a staff person. Everything was self explanatory and prepared ahead for you.

The stay was excellent ! However they should have staff manning the front desk from opening of check in till close of check in . Instead of putting a sheet of paper out front with code to enter this should be sent in an email or text to each individual personally . Otherwise anyone can enter in the premises

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The reviews for this place are definitely misleading; at least they were to me. Everything felt dirty and unclean. From the beginning, the staff working didn't even acknowledge me when I arrived. They don't even check your ID either to make sure that you are who you say you are. When getting into your capsule, you will see tons of debris, hair, and stains in all the nooks and crevices. It seems like they don't even take a chance to vacuum or wipe down the place. The washroom is in the stairwell. There is no hot water coming to the sink that I used even though I ran it for 30 seconds. There is no paper towels provided to wipe down your hands afterwards. Moving on to the showers, they are filthy. Stains and hair absolutely everywhere in the shower stall. You are provided towels that seem used a million times over. There are slippers that are provided on each floor, but half of them are completely destroyed by use. On my floor there were drying racks in the hallway and in the stair well with towels and blankets. The immediate vicinity around this place is very residential and industrial. There is a pin provided for the front door if you will be going in and out after hours, but the pin and instructions is posted right on the front door for everyone to see so what's the point. And I came back after the time the front door should've been locked, yet it was unlocked. Maybe this place isn't catered to people like me, but I don't know how anyone can recommend this place.
