I unfortunately didn’t get to stay for my full booking because of an emergency back home. The pros of this hotel, which is more like a hostel, is the location is really convenient. It’s located in Dongdaemun History & Culture Park area, between two subways stops and down the street from a police station, within walking distance to the DDP and shopping. This would be a great place for a solo traveller who’s on a budget. The rooms are tiny but clean enough, perfect if you’re not going to spend much time in the room. The cons are that it looks nothing like the pictures posted. You have to pay extra for a room with a view, which I did, but the window was over my head so not great for anyone 5 feet or under. I booked this place because it advertised that you could rent a wifi egg but when I arrived and asked, the young man at the front desk told me they didn’t do that anymore. It was even mentioned in my confirmation email that you could rent wifi eggs, that’s definitely something they need to fix. There’s no stairs so if you’re unable to walk stairs or plan on having some heavy luggage, I don’t recommend. The beds are hard but again, if you’re not planning on spending much time in the room, that’s not an issue. Overall, for the price, you get what you pay for. It wasn’t all bad.

For a budget hotel, it is good! They have friendly and helpful staff, who is willing to help you to carry your luggage up and down your room if you request for help. You can put your luggage there before you check in or after you check out. So it's convenient for me to do drop my luggage and do some shopping first before I check in. The room is clean when. Bathroom is clean as well. They do not provide daily housekeeping though, but I'm alright with that as I stay for two days only. The room is small, but for that price, please do not expect a big room. The free breakfast provided is kind of very very simple, so it's better to get your breakfast outside of the hotel. Overall, I like the hotel, and will stay again.

Nothing good expect location and bad experience
1. No house-keeping durng my 4 nights stay even I send an email to the hostel as nobody at front desk alway. This is not match their hostel briefing (mention daily house-keeping) 2. No breakfast provided (also not the fact as mention) 3. I arrived hostel before check-in time so i drop my luggage, and the staff told me that they will put my luggage into my room after cleaning room. When I back, my luggage just put in the middle of corridor of my floor....even not outside of my room. 4. When I arrive room, dust and hairs in the toilet - I think this is the careless mistake that they did not flash then I flash it because i want to use the toilet then I found not toilet paper - this made me feel bad !!! I go to front desk at 2/F(nobody there), my room at 5/F, then I call them to check if the room is finish cleaning or not...I waited a little bit at front desk and i found 2 staff were waiting in my room! Should they wait their guest to check together instead of opening my room without guest is there ? Staff asked me why I flash the toilet and not show them, I said I have to use the toilet, this make me feel bad and sounds like i tell a lie ! 5. Same comment as other guests - insects are found and some smell in the room. 6. There is a door (locked) inside the toilet which strange, toilet is small that door even cannot open completely 7. Only towels are provided, no tissue paper is provided in the living room 8. Slow wifi

You don't even get what you pay for
There really isn't anything good I could say about this hotel. For instance, the room and sheets were not clean on arrival and nothing was ever cleaned or changed during the entire stay. Also, warm water was only available occasionally, the cover of the electrical outlet next to the bed had fallen off and not been fixed, the entire building and neighborhood is rather rundown ... Anyway, I survived, but I cannot recommend this place.

Budget stay that you could not request more
Stayed in a Twin Room for three nights. AC doing fine Smooth wifi Budget stay However, it could improve in the following area:- -provide daily cleaning or at least once another day (no cleaning or making up beds for three nights) -stains are found on walls, ceiling and bed cover sheets -bugs are always found in the room -the bathroom is miserably narrow and small, the WC is with no separation from shower area. -shower gel and shampoo seems never have been used since they are of different volume. -very weird door inside the shower area (water meter room or storage room!?)

Good choice!!
1) It is a budget boutique hotel. Basic room facilities were provided. There are hot/cold water machine to refill drinking water. You can also cook in the pantry. 2) The room is a small but it is clean and new. 3) The location of the hostel is good. In less than 5 minutes walking distance, you may find the nearest subway. (Dongdaemun City and Culture Park, exit 12)There are also many restaurants and shopping malls nearby. 4) There isn't any lift in the hostel but the helpful staffs helped us to carry our luggage to our room. 5) Most of the staffs can speak well English. They are very helpful and friendly too.

Great hostel A+, would highly recommend
We have been backpacking for 3 months and this is the best hostel we have stayed in in Asia... Really great staff who are friendly and knowledgable. Clean, modern rooms with great facilities. Perfect location, we could walk to all the main stuff we wanted to do and then for everything else the closest metro is in a really good position. Overall you couldn't ask for more. Very happy.

立地は最高！ホテルは値段相応…
8月に3日間宿泊しました。 1人でしたが、ツインルームでした(しか空いてなかった)。 立地は最高です。駅からとても近く夜でも怖くありませんでした。 ホテルは階段(狭い)しかないので、重いスーツケースだときついです。(フロントがまず2階) ただ、フロントのお兄さんがとても親切で優しいので、言えば手伝ってくれると思います。日本語も少し話せます。 部屋は、土足厳禁で床はきれいに掃除されていました。 気になる方はスリッパ持参がいいかもしれません。 布団をめくるとシーツにいくつかシミが… まぁ許容範囲内です。 バスルームはとにかく狭いです！私の部屋は、トイレの奥に洗面台とシャワーがある造りでしたが、トイレの前を通るときは横歩きをしないと通れませんでした。 シャワースペースもすぐ後ろに壁が迫っています。 シャワーは水量と水圧は良かったのですが、温度調節がとにかく難しいです。 出しっぱなしにしていても温度が変わってしまうので、適温で浴びるのは至難の業です… 換気扇の機能はバッチリで、バスルームの床はすぐ乾きました。 部屋の設備について。 コンセントが一方のベッド側に2つだけ(しかも壁際)なので、2人で宿泊の場合は不便かと思います。 3日目の夜は床に虫が何匹か出ました。部屋の掃除をしてもらってなかったからかもしれません(タオル交換だけで、あえて掃除を断っていました)。ハサミムシという小さい虫です。 その他、部屋の間接照明がつかなかったのと、ウォシュレットはコードが外されていました。 写真にはコインランドリーらしきものが写っていますが、実際に洗濯機はありませんでした。洗濯をしたい方はご注意を。 共用エリアにウォーターサーバーがあります。 以上、価格が安いので値段相応といえば値段相応な宿でした。 私は、もう少し高くても次は違うホテルにしようかなと思いましたが、ホテルにこだわりがない場合は、立地含めいいかもしれません。

割り切れば
お盆期間中ということもあって 航空券が高いので宿泊先は安いところ！ と思って今回シングルルームに５泊しました。 値段を考えれば仕方ないし、寝るだけ！って思えば問題はないと思いますが、清潔感が感じられなかったですね。あとシングルルームには冷蔵庫とテレビがありません。 ゲストハウスの方はとても親切な方ばかりでした。

立地とベッドとフロント兄さんは◎
立地、清潔感、ベッドの寝心地、平日対応のフロントお兄さん、隣の隣の地元コンビニのおばちゃまの雰囲気と対応が良かった。 部屋の広さは写真よりだいぶ狭く、風呂トイレはスケスケで狭く音が響くため、ちょっと友達同士でもトイレは躊躇する、風呂トイレのドア(スケスケの)は壊れているのを透明ガムテで補強、朝食のショボさが残念。洗濯機は壊れていたがお兄さんに頼めば屋上の仕事用洗濯機で洗濯してくれる。 歯ブラシ、ブラシ、洗顔持参必須。備え付けはリンスインシャンプー、ボディーソープ、タオルのみ。タオルはフロントにいえば変えてくれる。廊下に浄水器有り。

フロントがいつもいません
到着時、誰もいないので、呼びまくりました。スタッフルームかなんかにいて、全然聞こえなさそうです。チェックアウト時もいないので、そのまま出ていきました。鍵が番号でロックなので、それも可能です。朝食も自由に、と口コミにありましたが、屋上は常に誰もおず、１日は施錠されており、使えませんでした。壁が薄く、隣の部屋の声が丸聞こえです。が、深夜まで買い物でホテル内に人の気配もなくｗ気になって起きることはありません。シャワールームの狭さにはびっくりですが、水圧が強いので大丈夫でした。ウォシュレットつきなのに、壊れて使えませんでした。冷蔵庫はついている部屋とそうでない部屋があるみたいです。ついていました。廊下にウォーターサーバーがあるのはよかったです。お湯はでませんが。

由於這家旅店是屬於hostel 因此並不提供打掃服務，如果習慣每天需要清理房間的人就不建議。此hostel 也沒電梯是比較不方便，但櫃檯人員會幫忙提行李。房間也很小且隔音效果不好，注重這些的人也不建議。盥洗用具只提供洗髮精和沐浴乳和毛巾，但如果要天天換毛巾的就必須親自跟櫃台人員說你要新毛巾。這家是不提供牙膏牙刷的喔！但唯一的好處是此hostel 離地東大門歷史文化公園站很近，而且價格比起一些飯店算便宜。

壁が薄いのか？
3泊しましたが1日目夜中2時隣の声で起こされ、3日目2時くらい隣の電気をつける音に始まり、声はもちろんシャワーの音、眠れないくらいうるさかった。タイミングが悪かったのか、壁が薄いのか。残念でした。でもスタッフはとても良くて最高でしたし、駅からも近くて広蔵市場も歩いて行けるし便利だっただけに余計残念。
