建物、部屋は古いですが、掃除はきちんとされていて、清潔です。 4人部屋はスーツケース広げるスペースもきちんとあって、ベッドはマットレス直置きでしたが、小学生2人いたので、くっつけて子供と並んで寝るのにはよかったです。 シャワーも広めだったので、子供と2人で入れて助かりました。 タオルもフロント横に置いてあるので、毎日交換できてよかったです。 残念だったのは、間接照明がなく、電気を消すと真っ暗になってしまう為、子供が怖がり電気付けっぱなしで寝ました。（アイマスクあったのでなんとかなりましたが…） あとは、テレビが映らなかったのが残念でした。 フロントに頼んだら洗濯してくれるという口コミがありましたが、「洗濯は自分でコインランドリー探してください。」と断られました。 連泊する時は、洗濯機があるといいなと思います。 ゲストハウスやホステル、韓国の生活に慣れているので、不便はなく、壁は薄くて少し声は聞こえましたが、気になるほどではなかったです。

チェックイン時に利用の手引きをもらいますが、その紙に書いていない事を補足します。 冷房は各部屋毎のリモコン操作ですが、暖房は床暖房となっており、各部屋毎の制御ではありません。フロントに「上げて/下げて」のリクエストを出します。 ゴミ袋を各自で交換する際の替えのゴミ袋は、ゴミ箱の底に畳んで置いてあります。

スタッフの人はほとんどフロントにいないけど、特に不自由はしなかった。荷物は預けられるけど、ただ荷物置き場に置くだけでなんのセキュリティもなく、いつでも取り出せるのはいいし、今回は盗まれなかったらよかったけど、安全面は心配になる。

Metroya çok yakın. Konumu çok güzel fakat ben kışın gittiğim için çok soğuktu. Klimalar çalışmıyor sadece yerden ısıtma var. Odamın çok soğuk olduğunu söyledim 2 defa yardımcı oldular ama yine de sabahları çok soğuk oluyordu. Onun haricinde her şey güzeldi.

立地良いホステル、おすすめします。

3月末に6歳の子供と4泊しました。 日本語の口コミがあまりなかったので、参考になればと思い書き込みます。 ・立地は良く、最寄り駅鍾路3街からは5分ほど、人気の益善洞を通って行くこともできて楽しかったです。大きな通りに面していますが夜は静かなエリアです。駅からの建物の1階にセブンがあり便利です。 ・部屋は2つのスーツケースを広げても充分な広さ、気密性が高いのか何もつけなくても温かかったです。窓も一部開閉できます。 ・バスルームはトイレとシャワーのみですが、広めでトイレが濡れるのも気にならなかったです。(私は韓国在住経験あるので平気でしたが、)トイレは紙を流せないので気になる方は注意です。 ・部屋の壁だけが薄いようで周辺の音が聞こえる点だけ残念ですが、お互い様ですししょうがないかなと。(部屋にサービスの耳栓もありましたよ^^) ・アメニティは最低限ですが宿泊前にあらかじめ連絡もあり問題ありませんでした。タオルはフロントで交換可能です。滞在中7日までは掃除はありません。ゴミはフロント前の階段室に捨てれますし、部屋のごみ袋がいる場合は申し出ればくれるそうです。ランドリーは有料、預けると洗ってくれるそうです。 チェックイン時にこういった案内を説明の上、紙も渡されます。フロントはAM9時~PM9時以外不在ですが、LINEで問い合わせ可能だそうです。 快適に過ごせ、親子旅を満喫できました。ありがとうございました。 호텔에서 편하게 지내고 아들과 같이 좋은 시간을 보낼수 있었습니다. 감사합니다.
