Great location and nice price
Very great location! It’s is near to the train station and this train station is very convenient with 3 lines(No. 1, 3 and 5.) Around the guest house are many restaurants and convenience stores. The staffs are friendly and really helpful. Will come back, if i have a chance to visit Korea :)

対応言語に英語、日本語も書いてありましたが、入国手続きに時間がかかり、チェックインに遅れそうだったため電話したところ、韓国語しかわからないと言われ、非常に困りました。ホテルにいるスタッフも韓国語しか話していないようでした。(たまたまなのかもしれませんが) エアコンのリモコンも韓国語で書かれていたため、使い方が判りませんでした。 窓が浴室にしかないため部屋の臭いがなかなか抜けません。

東大門や南大門から徒歩で行けてアクセスが良い。 鍾路3街駅4番出口から狭いですがエスカレータがあるので 階段を使わずスーツが運べて金浦駅にすぐ乗れます。 建物の最初の出入り口にセキュリティーが有るのが良い。 フロントでPC使えたり無料wifi、コーヒー、お茶が飲めるのも 助かります。 安く泊まり近くにも色々店がある便利な所なので、 多少夜は煩い時がありますが、総合的に良いです。 お宿のスタッフもとても親切です。

J'aime cet hôtel proche qui est dans le centre de Séoul. La chambre est spacieuse. C'est la deuxième fois que j'y vais, alors vivement la troisième. A bientôt ^^ 나는 서울의 중심에있는이 가까운 호텔을 좋아합니다. 방은 넓다. 이것은 제가 두 번째로 갈 때, 세 번째로 강하게 나타납니다. 나중에 보자 ^^

약간의 불편을 감수하셔야합니다.
방음이 안되고 화장실 좁고 바디샴푸및 린스가 방 밖의 공용책장에서 가지고 와서 써야한다는 약간의 불편함을 감수해야하지만 주인분들 매우 친절하셔서 저로선 매우 편안하게 지내다 왔습니다. 종로3가역 7번출구와 매우 가깝고 어디 다녀와도 편도 30분 안팎이라 편리합니다.

사진에서 너무 허름해보여서 걱정했는데 생각보따 깨끗했어요. 그리고 허름하긴한데 그래도 청결에 신경쓰시는것 같았어요. 대신 샤워용품은 없어요.
