以性價比來說是滿意，因為地點很方便，可搭6009公車直達仁川機場
Pros:

飯店有提供免費泡面和咖啡茶，公共場所很亁淨。
但房間有點小，獨旅很適合，搭捷運和公車都很方便

Cons:

沒有電梯，搬行李到3樓有點困難，到飯店已經是晩上了，可能要事先跟飯店說需要幫忙搬行李。隔音不太好。

Pros:

ロケーションがとても良かったです。カンナムですが、値段も手頃です。近くには現地の方がよく行く食堂、おしゃれな喫茶店もあって、とても満足できます。

Cons:

シャワーとトイレは同じ部屋なので、シャワーの後は、便器も濡れてしまいます。

조금 아쉬웠어요
Pros:

논현역 가까움, 라면 커피 물 휴지 수건등은 잘비치되어 있고 직접 가져가서 쓰면 됨, 콘센트 여러개임

Cons:

방이 매우 좁고 화장실은 더 좁아서 씼기 불편함 세면대가 실내에 따로 나와있었음, 스마트TV 안됨(유툽, 넷플릭스 등)
엘베없고 화장실에 물건(옷) 둘곳이 없어 불편함, 침대 매트리스가 쏠림, 도로변에 있어 소리 예민한 사람은 불편할수 있음

SÉOUL FEV 26
Pros:

Très bien équipé(café, thé, bouteilles d’eau, fontaine d’eau froide et chaude, laverie avec lessive, serviette, frigidaire soupe, internet).
La chambre etait propre avec sol chauffé.
La localisation est top, pas loin de SEOUL EXPRESS BUS.
Il y a tout a proximité commerces, restaurants, arrêt de bus et station de métro.

Cons:

Nous avons eu du mal a trouvé l’endroit car l’entrée n’était pas visible rapidemment.
Les battons de senteur dans la chambre était trop fort pour moi.
Pas d’acensseur, il faut voyager leger pour monter au 3eme étage.
Deux autres coussin aurait été bien plus confortable.

また利用したいhostelです！
Pros:

お部屋・フロア全体清潔感がある。洗濯(洗剤もあり)・乾燥機が無料で使える。インスタントラーメンも食べれる。暖房を利用しなくても室内暖かくて寒い冬でも快適でした。

Cons:

２２時以降もフロアのテーブルで騒いでいた人がいたり、２４時過ぎにも大音量で音楽を流していた人がいたので、夜の騒音が気になった。ホテル側の問題というより、その日の利用者の問題。

而且洗衣機竟然還有附洗衣精！超級貼心～
若之後活動地點在江南，會想再回訪！

Cons:

隔音不好、長住的話希望可以多放一套更換的被單

フレンドリーで清潔感のあるカンナムの宿泊所
Pros:

コンパクトで清潔な室内、冷蔵、冷凍庫も使い勝手が良かったです。３日に一度お掃除が入ります。日程の調整や共有スペースの洗濯機や乾燥機の使い方なども、オーナーさん？と気軽にメッセージで確認出来てとても心強かったです。清潔なタオルも沢山自由に使えたり、トイレットペーパーも各自補充できたり、ラーメンやシリアルも食べ放題でしたし、美味しいお茶やお水も自由に使えて有り難かったです。

Cons:

エレベーターがないので、重いスーツケースを4階まで自分で持ち運ばなければならない。それくらいなんとも無いくらい快適でした！
