Good budget stay
The room we booked had an issue in the bathroom, so he gave us two rooms to use instead. He was very kind and helpful. We had the place to ourselves for most of our stay probably due to the time of year. It was nice and quiet.

건물 지하에 노래방이 있어요
벽에 자국이 많아 전체적으로 깨끗한 이미지는 아니였습니다. 화장실에 물이 잘 안나오고. 건물 지하에 노래방이 있어 약한 소음과 진동이 있습니다. 위치는 좋으나 청결이나 소음에 예민하신 분에게는 추천드리지 않습니다.

満足です。
ホテルは少し分かりにくい場所にありますが、駅からはものすごく近いです。 地下鉄１番線のチョンノ５ガ駅を降りて、東に歩いて2分くらいすると左側にTRAVEL MONSTER の看板が見えますので、そこから建物の間を入っていきます。 立地としてはとても良く、東大門や広蔵市場へは余裕で歩いていけるほどの距離です。 アメニティ等のサービスは良くなかったです。歯ブラシや体を洗うタオル、フロントへの電話器はなく、フェイスタオルとバスタオル、ドライヤー、冷蔵庫はあります。金庫はありません。 部屋の掃除やシーツの取り替えは、フロントに頼まないとしともらえません。 ですが、この価格でこの立地を考えると満足です。

지저분하고 좁아요.
친척분들이 미국에서 오셔서 위치좋은 저렴한 방을 구해달라하셔서 인터넷으로 보고 예약했는데도 너무 방음이 안되고 작은 사이즈에 지나다니기도 힘들고 지저분해서 체크인했다가 그냥 나왔다고 들었어요. 환불 안되는데 9일 예약한거라 돈 그냥 버린 셈이에요.

大通りから路地を入ってところにありますが、地図上だと裏の通りに面してるように見えたので、夜到着して少し迷いました。日本人の利用は少ないようで、案内の紙も韓国語、英語、中国語のみです。 この手の宿ではよくある、トイレの横にシャワーがあって仕切りのないタイプ。ただ広さがまあまああるので気をつけて使えば便器が濡れないで使えます。それよりも、バスルームのドアが壊れてて閉まらなかったので、外にシャワーの水が飛ばないよう若干気を使いました。滞在中部屋の掃除は頼めばしてくれる感じです。(逆に頼まなければない) 広蔵市場はすぐ近く、東大門からも徒歩で10分くらい。すぐ裏の通りは風俗街っぽいところですが、大通りを歩くだけなので深夜でも危ない感じはしませんでした。 フロントが2階、泊まったのは3階でしたが階段のみです。私は使いませんでしたが、共同で使える簡易キッチンがありました。 コンセントのアダプターなどデポジット有りで貸してくれるようですが、チェックアウト時は無人でしたので、どうやって返してもらうのか謎でした。 (何かあればメモを残せと書いてあったので、連絡くるのかも…)なるべく持参がオススメですね。 値段も安かったので総合的には満足です。 市場の買物を楽しむ一人旅にはちょうど良い宿だと思います。

그냥 잠만자기에는 편안하게 푹 잤습니다.
골목안쪽으로 들어가야되며, 주변에 술집이나 오래된 노래방등 약간 취약하며 찾기 힘들수도 있어요.. 테라스도 이층에 올라서 있고,.. 전체적으로 나쁘진않았는데 방에 화장실 변기가 약간 더러웠습니다ㅠㅠ 잠은 편하게 푹 잘수있었는데 다행히 친구랑 가서 상관없지만 여자랑 데이트 겸 하러가기에는 추천은 못하겠네요..

Good hotel in the low price end. But it was not clear when the reception was open. It includes free wifi in rooms and even a shared kitchen if you want to cook your own meals. Also a water dispenser free to use. :)
