Всё хорошо.
Pros:

Отличный отель по соотношению цена-качество. Район хороший, кондиционер в номере есть, чайник есть. Микроволновая печь на каждом этаже. В подвале находится кухня, где можно взять посуду. Ночью на улице могут шуметь, т.к. рядом тусовочный район. Выдает бамбуковые ватные палочки и бумажные стаканчики, очень понравилось. Останавливаюсь здесь уже во второй раз.

Cons:

Не очень чисто. В ванне была замечена плесень. Санузел для европейца необычный, нет душевой кабинки. Лейка душа присоединена прямо к раковине, вода течёт сразу на пол. Но для Корее такое дело привычное, такое же видел в Грузии.

Worth the money and convenient location
Pros:

We stayed here for 5 night. Room was big enough for the 2 of us as we booked deluxe triple room which was bigger than the double room. Bathroom was clean and had a table with 2 chairs to sit. Common kitchen has everything to heat your own food and filtered drinking water. They also had umbrellas for customers when it rains. Lift was very convenient and we could store our luggage as well. Staff are very friendly. We even did laundry in the common laundry area. But our stay here was very comfortable. The location is also very central and many restaurants and pochas to eat at night just walking distance from here. CVS just around the corner! I would highly recommend staying here.

Cons:

Bed wasn’t very comfortable as the double bed made lot of noise when rolling from one side to other. And the room wasn’t cleaned even when we stayed for 5 nights. They only make beds and clean the trash bins, not clean the room or bathroom. Cleaning when we stay long duration would have been better. Common kitchen area was also very dusty and needs a good cleaning of cobwebs.
Press iron would have been better than steamer.

Pros:

The location is fantastic, very close to Myeongdong and a short walk to Insadong. The room was cozy.

Cons:

There was a lot of mold visible on the bathroom sink. Replacing the silicone would be enough to improve its appearance. The cleanliness of the kitchen also leaves something to be desired.

Güzeldi
Pros:

Konaklamam gerekliliklerini gayet karşıladı. Oda minik ama biz yine rahatlıkla sığdık. Çamaşırhane olması büyük bir artı.
Konum olarak da metro istasyonuna gayet yakın. Bir sorun yaşamadık.
Teşekkür ederiz

Easy self-check-in with clear instructions and passwords provided beforehand. The room was clean, tidy, and comfortable.
Pros:

The location was very convenient, with plenty of stores, restaurants, and shops nearby. It was also within walking distance of the metro station, making it easy to get around and explore the city.

Cons:

The only area that could use some improvement is the laundry area, which could be kept a bit cleaner and tidier. But thankful they provide detergent so still plus points!

Ideal location, friendly staff and cozy, bright room!
Pros:

I really liked staying in this hostel. It's the second time, first time was only two nights, this time I stayed a bit longer. The staff are so friendly, they help whenever you have a question. The room is bright, the big window brings in a lot of light which makes the space okay. Most of the room gets taking in by a doublebed, but since I travelled alone it was the perfect size. There's a free laundry machine and a dryer. The location is perfect, ideal walking distance to Ikseong hanok village, also close to two metro lines, one is 5 minutes away, the other 15-ish minutes. There's also 3 convenience stores, one less then a minute away, other two less than 5 minute walk.

I loved it and will stay here again in the future!

Cons:

Everything was perfect, no remarks!
