The shower room in the dorm would be better with a space for clothes.
Pros:

六人住的宿舍房型空間很精簡,對於只是要梳洗睡覺的人住起來算舒適,衛浴的部分有一間只有馬桶的廁所、一間洗手台連著蓮蓬頭的淋浴間、還有一間比較大間的完整衛浴,這次入住期間的室友們都很剛好錯過彼此的洗漱時間,所以使用上無大礙,個人空間也很足夠(有可上鎖的直立式置物櫃以及位於完整衛浴那間旁邊的開放櫃一格)

交通與地點方便,附近也有些可以簡單一人吃飯的餐廳,很適合短程要省錢且獨自旅行的人來住六人共用房間。
Pros:

自助入住很方便,不用受限於櫃檯人員的上班時間。女生六人房內有兩套衛浴與廁所,很方便,不用怕有人在上廁所會需要等很久。有公用廚房很方便,但是建議公用廚房可以放衛生紙,有時候有急用找不到衛生紙有點困擾。

Cons:

女生六人房兩邊靠牆的床位都有置物櫃,為什麼中間的那排床位沒有置物櫃? 很不方便,而且走道擺滿已經入住的人的行李箱,占用到中間床位的空間,希望可以有明確規範大家行李箱放置的地方。且明明規定不行在房間內講電話、看影片時要用耳機,但是我入住期間隔壁的上下舖完全沒有遵守。
建議房間使用規定,應該要貼在門口明顯處,大家進來才能第一時間看到,我都是要退房才發現,都來不及跟隔壁床的反應,請他出去講電話。

便利。
Pros:

場所がいいです
繁華街に、近くて
少しだけ離れていて休むにもいいと思います

Cons:

部屋に湯沸かしがないくらいですが、給湯機へ行けばあるし、近ければ良いと思います。使わないひとは気にしないのでしょう。
コンセントがUSB充電できるところが1つでもあると助かります。

Всё отлично!!!
Pros:

Очень понравилось отношение персонала. У меня была длительная поездка. Я люблю останавливаться на Тондемуне. Но в этот раз был концерт BTS в Сеуле и все гостиницы были заняты. Удалось найти место только в 6 местном номере. При заселении мне заменили номер на двухместный без смены тарифа. Я провела 12 дней в двухместном номере одна.. большое спасибо персоналу!! Ещё и объяснили где автобусная остановка и не просто объяснили, а вывели и показали на улице.
В следующий раз остановлюсь опять здесь.
В комнатах чисто, накрахмаленное постельное бельё. Удобные кровати, оснащённая кухня.

Cons:

I booked the single room without hesitating as I really enjoyed my stay back in 2024. However, things seem to have changed drastically since last time.

First of all, the place is not as properly maintained as it used to be. My room was not cleaned well upon check-in and hair strands were found all over the floor. The carpets had stains and the elevators were never clean everytime I used them. My neighbors a few doors down decided to dispose of their trash in the hallway. The bags were left untouched for the longest time as pictured.

There was no hot water in the mornings and when I reported this to the front desk, they simply told me to “shower later”. The staff was never helpful in other instances during my stay and rarely on sight so it seems like guests are left helpless in case of an emergency and every issue here needs to be self-resolved.

The laundry room was a huge mess as well. The garment steamer was broken and leaked water everywhere and unlike last time, the washers were dirty and not equipped with detergent. The guests had to purchase their own. I feel like this contradicts their philosophy of being “environmentally friendly” when travellers like myself who are staying just about a week or so have to purchase a big container of detergent that will most likely be thrown away upon departure.

The kitchen had no single-use napkins and the garbage bins were overflowing, so I ended up avoiding most of the commonly used areas.

Also, the fridge in my room kept making the loudest noise.

During my 12 day stay, I witnessed only one elderly lady cleaning the place and it seems like she is the one who is doing the majority of housekeeping which explains why the place is so poorly maintained. Obviously I was not expecting 5-star hotel hospitality but the single rooms were not exactly cheap here.


Just like the other reviews have stated, the location is good.
