It provided ramen, coffee &tea throughout the day in the lounge. It was maintained neatly. It's three story building without an elevator, where I stayed on the third floor taking up bags in the very narrow & steep hallway and steps. The entrance was rocky. On the checkout day, the staff helped carrying the luggage downstairs. It has 3 washers /dryers with laundry detergent.

場所が分かりにくい…夜遅めだったので騒がしい飲食店の間の細い路地入るので見逃して何度も通り過ぎてました。もう少し大きく看板あれば… 写真通りの設備でしたが、上手に撮られています。セミダブルの部屋でしたが、とにかく部屋はびっくりするくらい狭く、大きなスーツケースを広げたら歩けないくらいです。また洗面所も扉を開けると直ぐ便座で通りにくい。。とホステルなので仕方ないですが、清潔感はあるのでよかったです。見事に無人でしたね。暗証番号が上手く押せず、たまたま中にいた方に開けてもらいました。 マイナスな事を書きましたが これから何度も渡韓する予定なのでまたお世話になるかもです。
