Private room near the top floor but very tight spaces. A hostel type of place. Have a small TV which did not power up at first but I was able to find the power source and power cycle the unit. The shower and toilet combination was interesting but it works. The bed was good enough. Easy check-in and check-out, near college area, a bit far from the subway. The best way to this place would be Taxi. Was here for only 3 days but if I had a longer stay I would go elsewhere.

Backpacking Haven near Yonsei University

Very accessible and convenient place to stay near Yonsei University, especially for those going to solo. The place is at the center of a night hub, frequented mostly by Korean students and young professionals, although inside the house, it was generally quiet.

It was all right.

I chose this place primarily because of the location, which is literally right across the street from Yonsei University and surrounded by shops and restaurants with only a short walk to the subway station. I loved how easy check-in was. I was arriving later in the day and so was emailed details of which room I would be in, code to the guesthouse, where the key would be, and what to do upon checkout. I was there for two nights and didn't see the guesthouse owner/manager at all. The bed was okay and was pretty standard as far as comfort, and the room was clean, but under the bed had loads of dust piled up (I'd dropped an earring and lifted the covers to look under the bed). Amenities were good, and there was a mini fridge in the room as well. There was a tiny TV, and it did have cable, but the connection was poor and I had to position the TV just right for there to be minimal static. The WiFi was excellent. There was AC, but that part wasn't clarified very well. There is AC in the halls and main area, but if you want AC in your room, you have to keep open a window leading to the hallway or your front door. There was what appeared to be a vent that you could turn on for AC possibly, but mine was broken and made a horrible noise. For the beginning of summer, this meant the room was really muggy and pretty warm during the day and night. Otherwise, my stay was all right. I don't think I would stay again, though.

Convenient location, friendly

Stayed here because it was a short walk from Hongdae so the location was convenient for me. The room was comfortable and clean (although a bit cold in winter) and there were kitchen and laundry facilities available. When I arrived to check in I had to wait a long time because there was no staff around so I ended up feeling a bit annoyed but after checking in the staff apologised multiple times and were very friendly and helpful.

다시 가고 싶지 않습니다

주변 시설이 편리하기도 하지만 술집에 둘러싸여 있고 방음도 안되어 시끄럽고 정신이 없었습니다 시트도 깨끗하게 1회용으로 바꾸는것이 아니라 오래 남들이 쓰던걸 쓴것같아 매우 찝찝했습니다 시트정도는 일외용으로 제공하는게 숙박업의 기본 예의일것 같습니다

ゲストハウス自体は清潔で立地も良く便利ですが、周りが飲み屋街なので深夜２時頃までとてもうるさいです。泊まる方はそれを覚悟された方が良いかと思います。

좁지만 가성비는 좋은편.

신촌 골목 안쪽에 있어 신촌역이나 연세대 접근성이 좋고 주변 먹거리가 많아 편리합니다. 사실상 원룸 고시텔이라 너무 좁고 불편함이 있긴 하지만 신촌 일대에서는 가격대비 만족스러운 편인것 같습니다. 주인장께서 공동주방에 라면, 밥, 김치를 언제나 무료로 먹을수 있게 제공하고 있는것도 좋았습니다. 라면 끓여억다보니 나홀로 일본인 여행객들이 자주 보이더군요.

壁が薄いのでしょうか？

コシテルの1部屋かなぁ？と思います。以前コシテルに住んでいたので過ごしやすかったです。ご飯やラーメンもあり共同のキッチンで食べれますし、洗濯も出来るようでした^^ 今回2泊したのですが、階段で5階まで行くのはなかなか辛かったです。それと、2日目のam3時〜5時にかけてどこかの部屋の男性がずーっと電話かなにかしていて大きな声で眠れなく、帰国して体調崩しました。施設の方は日本語も堪能でとても良かったのでまた泊まりたいなと思っていた矢先でしたので残念でしたが、そのほかはとても良かったです。
