Probably all the "guesthouses" in this district are overpriced and low quality like this one. Bed sheets were not fresh and there was no covering for mattresses. Bathroom was clean. A/C in common area (kitchenette) was nonoperational. Curtain frame fell off in the middle of night. It's an acceptable place to stay but you can find many other regular hotels in other areas that are better than this with similar price.

Solo and friends stay here!
One night in the 5 bed female dorm was just as good as the first time! Welcoming, clean and close to much food, PT and entertainment. Breakfast is above average including 2 choices of tasty cereal and milk.

Clean, Great PT and Eats Location
Easy and precise instructions from subway line 2. Quick check-in, clean and comfy bed and nice size towel. Rent a padlock for lockers or bring your own. Rooms and bathrooms seemed to be wiped clean every day. Quiet indoors after midnight, but the outdoor crowds can get loud, so bring earplugs. Female dorm has make up and dressing area so private wet bathroom csn be used for shower and toilet needs. Plenty of trash cans and they are cleaned regularly (this is so rare in a lot of hostels)! Breakfast includes 2 types of tasty cereal with milk, tea, coffee, bread, butter and jam. About 8 ppl can eat together comfortably, on the bench and stools. Slippers provided at entrance. Shoe changing area is small so wear/bring shoes that are easy to slip in and out of. Nice outdoor seating area near several eateries, very closeby. Definitely are great hostel I would stay at again.

隔音很差,很像是木板隔間,外面人經過撞到牆面,房間內會聽到聲音。晚上12:00櫃檯服務人員男生進來換床單很奇怪。在首爾住其他青年旅店,即使沒有24小時櫃檯服務,仍會事先mail讓客人知道大門密碼,但這家堅持晚上12:00前入住,現場才告知大門密碼,服務人員去聚餐了雖然告知會趕回來,但我比約定入住時間提早到10分鐘,要在大門外面等服務人員聚餐走回來。早餐不ok、到晚上12:00外面還很吵。

予定していたチェックイン時刻より遅くなり、ご迷惑をお掛けしてしまいましたが、嫌な顔1つせずにご対応頂けて有難かったです。また、チェックイン前に荷物を預かってくださり、部屋まで運んでくださいました。今後、弘大に宿泊することがあれば是非利用させていただきます。ありがとうございました。

夜12時頃、宿舎に戻ると、エントランスの鍵が壊れていて、開けられずにとても困った。スタッフの方に電話をしても出なくて、メールをして少ししたら返信をくれて、宿に来てくれて対応してくれました。 私は韓国語が話せるのでよかったものの、韓国語を話せない場合はかなり大変だったと思います。 やはり個人経営の宿舎はこのようなトラブルがあるんだなと感じました。

また泊まりたいゲストハウスです
管理人の男性がとても親切でした。共同スペースの近くということもあり、英語が常に飛び交っていましたが、きちんとルールもあるので、夜は眠れないということはありません。部屋の掃除も行き届いており、バスタオルも毎日変えてくれていました。

美好的經驗
民宿比我們想像的好很多, 實際狀況也比照片好, 只是24:00前要check-in, 我們搭酷航21:35扺達的班機居然還差點來不及, 第一次去要找一下, 應該要多留點時間的
