Clean, friendly and welcoming place

I was nicely surprised at this clean well-managed hostel in a convenient location. The owner manager is friendly and seems responsible. The free morning coffee in the communal kitchen was really good for me especially after party night out.

快適、良心的値段

地下鉄4号線・6号線の三角地駅近くで銀行あり、コンビニあり、飲食店あり、バス停あり、便利な立地です。4号線からなら1番出口を出て右に回りGS25の角を左に歩くと、左に白いやや大きめのビルが見えてきます。その向かいに「Ya」っていう看板が見るのでそこの小さい路地を入ったらこのホステルがあります。2分で到着できます。私は19時ぐらいに到着したのですが、翌日17時ごろにホステルに戻ったら2〜3組のお客さんが待っていて、19時以降しかスタッフがこないからチェックインができないと話してました。朝のチェックアウトの際もスタッフはおらず、カゴにキーを返すだけの方式でした。フロントは時間限定と書かれているので早めにチェックインして部屋で休みたいとか、チェックアウトのときに荷物を預けたいとかの人は事前に確認が必要かもです。 部屋はシングル個室を利用、冷蔵庫、エアコン、ケーブルテレビがあり、またシャワー・トイレ水回りの問題もありませんでした。一人なら十分のスペースでした。シーツも清潔でした。門限もありませんので夜遊び可能。 清潔で機能的な部屋を安価で提供してもらって、自分のペースで動くのが好みの私には快適でした。

三角地駅近のお値打ち宿

シングルルーム利用しました。三角地駅から3分くらいです。路地にあるのでちょっと見つけづらいです。部屋は広くないですが、必要最低限のものは揃ってます。この値段で個室でシャワートイレ付きはなかなか無いかと。なので施設のクオリティは過度に期待しない方がいいと思いますが、寝れるし、問題ないかと。洗濯は自分でするのではなくスタッフさんがしてくれます。外出から帰ってきたら部屋のノブに、ビニール袋に入ってかかってました(笑)ウォーターサーバーが使え、コーヒーは自由に飲めます。 周辺は食堂やコンビニなどあり、有名なテグタン通りもすぐ。 安宿だけど個室を探してる人にはオススメです!

용산역에서 가까워서 일단 좋았습니다. 코앞은 아니지만 걸어가기에 괜찮은 한정거장 거리였구요 싼 가격에 화장실이 딸린 개인실이어서 잠도 정말 잘 잤습니다.

the location is good!! near subway station

Location of this hostel is GOOD!! It's near subway station (walk around 5min from station) , easy to access if you have luggage, i recommend you to use exit 1, there's elevator. if you use elevator turn right and go straight (woori bank on your right) when u see T-junction turn right if you see T-junction (there's GS25 convenience store) again turn left. and straight ahead until you see hotel label on the right side then turn right you'll find the hostel. the hostel is small and a little old but the room is clean and not smelly. the towel is small, seem like hair towel.... I'm ok with it and might booking again if i go to seoul :)

Happy stay in the 1st trip to Korea

We like the hostel a lot! Customer service is really nice. We would like to give a big thanks to Joy who take good care of us in the first day of our check-in. And all the staff are very friendly just like our friends that we can chat and play together for different cultural interaction. The hostel and room are tidy and well designed giving us a home feelings. We also use the user friendly kitchen for cooking our breakfast and dinner that is such a remarkable experience. We highly recommend such a high quality hostel!

お兄さんは優しいけど…

友達がここを利用したことがあり、アクセスが良く安いとのことで私も初めて利用しました。 スタッフのお兄さんはとても優しくフレンドリーでした!1人なのに部屋はツインでした(笑)広々と使えました。ただしベッドが少し固めでした。 値段が安いので仕方がないけど、部屋汚いこと、コバエが飛んでたこと(おそらくシャワー、トイレの下水のほうから発生したコバエ?)、シャワーの水圧がほぼゼロでチョロチョロしかお湯が出ず、頭を洗えなかったこと、それがマイナスポイントです。お兄さんの対応は良かったのでまだマシです。部屋が汚れているのは慣れてますが部屋にハエがいた事と水圧がゼロだったのは本当辛かったです。

Worst accommodation I have never met in my life

1. Lots of mosquito are dead on the wall with blood disgusting! 2. Beds are not beds. Like stones not comfortable 3. Bathroom, washing basin is terrible. Dirty water drop straight to floor also yakky smell is coming up. 4. If fire is up, no exit. Everybody will be dead. Window is blocked by steel bar and just one access to downstairs. So dangerous. 5. Environment beside building is no good as well. Messy spoooky
