Central, comfortable stay
Pros:

Location was great, very close to punlic transport.
Staff was very nice and helpful (min & sj).

Cons:

The fridge in the room was very loud.
I recelved a lot of messages which were not necessary e.g. Asking for check-in time which i already stated, asking for a review upon arrival & departure. Staff asked for a review 3 times in person as well

I want to say overall we had a wonderful experience. The staff in the front desk was very helpful, specifically Min who
Pros:

I like that the property was in a the middle of a very busy and touristy neighborhood so we had a lot of restaurants and stores near us. We did not bother with buses or subway since we did not know hot to use it but it was very easy to get an uber to and from the hotel.

Cons:

The only thing that we were not feeling 100% about was the space of the room. It was a bit cramped due to all our luggage but that is also on us for not checking properly before booking but still we enjoyed our stay! Everything else was amazing!

Pros:

호스텔은 처음 이용해봤습니다
침구및 방이 깨끗하고 지하철역가깝고 만족했습니다

Cons:

중앙난방이라 저녁늦게 난방을 해주셨는데 객실이 많이 추웠습니다
히터를 키면 너무 건조하고 차후에 난방이 들어왔을때는 따뜻했습니다
겨울철에는 난방을 일찍 틀어주셨으면 더 만족할것 같습니다
