    It was listed as a hotel, but it’s actually a hostel—I was totally misled by the description and photos, and it wasn’t even cheap. You’d be better off booking a real hotel.

    立地は素晴らしいが、施設がそこそこ古い。 壁の一角には黒カビが、換気が悪い感じ。 バスタブは無く、トイレの横でシャワーだが、シャワーを壁に掛ける物もなく、手で持つしかない。 清掃は行き届いていた、廊下には荷物用の重量計もある。 料金相応のホテルでした。

    安さ重視ならアリだと思います。立地はとても便利です。東大門のkyochonチキンの裏辺りにあります。真夜中のショッピングにも便利です。 ただとても狭いです。ツインに泊まりましたが2人ともがスーツケースを広げるのは無理でした。シャワーを浴びるとトイレも濡れます。でもこのスペースは清掃が行き届いていて清潔感あります。 部屋の中に洗面台があります。テレビの横に無理くり作ってある感じです。ゲストハウスをよく利用される方なら問題無いと思います。

    路地を少し入ったところなので、見つけにくいかなと思ったけど、直ぐに特徴のある建物が見つかった！駅もバス停も近いので何かと便利だったし、飲食店も近くにたくさんあり、コンビニもあった。部屋にコバエが何匹かいたが、私は食べ物も部屋にほとんど持ち込まなかったので、直ぐ慣れた。 ホテルのスタッフは、バイトな感じの若い女の子だったけど、行きたい場所への行き方を聞いたら色々調べてくれて、バスの乗り方も教えてくれた。
