スタッフさんのご好意でスイートルームに宿泊させていただきました。 少し奥まった住宅街にありますが、駅近で、近くコンビニやスーパーもあり、とても便利な立地環境でした。 ホテルに到着後、とても親切かつフレンドリーなスタッフの方々が笑顔で明るく迎えてくださいました。 不慣れな電車でやっとの思いで辿り着いたのでとても疲れが

추억을 만드는 곳

사장님이 매우 친절하시고 건물 노후화에 비해 매우 깨끗했다. 복도에 지나온 히스토리 추억 사진들이 보여주듯 잘 갖추어진 시스템과 친절과 정이 느껴졌다. 또한, 아침식사는 전혀 부족함 없이 먹을 수 있어 든든했다. 단점이 있다면 전기장판을 틀고 자는 중 뜨거워 온도를 낮추려 하였지만, 안전상(?) 고정되어 있어 전원을 아예 끄던가 뜨겁게 자던가 선택해야 했고, 생각외로 좁았다. 그래서 방음이 되질 않는다. 시스템이 잘 갖추어져 있어서 10시 이후 이용객들이 조용 하였다(특정 이용객이 씨끄러워서 밤을 설침) 비즈니스 때문에 와서 바쁘게 돌아다니기만 하여 조금 아쉬웠다. 다음에 다시 오고 싶은 곳이다.

離東大門非常近從東大門一號出口搭手扶梯上來回轉，第一個路口右轉直走約3~5分鐘看到左手邊GS25超商對面的小巷子進去就看到了，很好找!! 來東大門N次了，這是我住的民宿裡第一名!! 雖然說老闆是老外但現在出門都有網路有翻譯機所以這並不是太大的問題^^ 再來要說的是~~我親眼看著老闆每間退房後他自己親自打掃消毒更換床單，他非常注重清潔進門要求客人一定要換上拖鞋並且要求不能將鞋子踩進屋內，從這一點就知道他個人很注重衛生，每天都詢問我是否需要整理房間，打掃完還會點上香氛蠟燭讓屋內香氣芬芳超級舒服，老闆個人應該非常喜歡種植植物屋內屋外都有很多植物看了都很舒壓!! 公共區域:用餐區每天都一定準備好煮好的白煮蛋在桌上，讓客人隨時想吃都可以吃補充蛋白質~很貼心!! 早餐除了雞蛋與果醬/吐司之外還會準備起司片真的是很棒!! 零食區有泡麵/杯麵/茶包/咖啡....隨你享用~~~100分啦!! 真的是值得推薦的好民宿~100分~100分~100分!!

Home away from home

We get around easily being located near subway and shopping area too. The manager in charge was very helpful and informative. The room is sizeable for 2z what I like most is each room have its own toilet.. it gives you a cosy feeling of a home away from home feeling.

スタッフの男性はとても優しくて、親切なサービスをしてくれたのですが、私の韓国人の友人を非難するような発言を長々としたのは、正直不快でした。彼は日本人の私にとても親切にしていて何も悪くないのに、韓国人というだけで色々言われて理不尽だと思いました。 共同スペースにハエが飛んでいるのが嫌だったので、ゴミの管理をもう少し徹底して欲しいのと、変換プラグが、接触が悪く使い物にならなかったのが残念でした。 部屋の雰囲気はとても可愛らしいし、飲み物がフリーなのは有難いし、清潔なタオルも置いてくれていて助かりました。

環境乾淨溫馨，不過特別加價訂較大的雙人房但後來可能因為我是單人還是安排空間偏小的房間，浴室也比較窄，房間隔音普通，如果有人在走廊或餐廳公共空間聲音蠻明顯，但hostel主人夫婦很親切，地理位置也很方便，如果對空間及隔音要求不高，會是好的選擇。

東大門の駅からすぐだったので大変、便利でした。ご家族でバニラ1.2.3を経営されてるそうで、次回からは直接、LINEで予約可能なことなど…オーナーさんが、ゆっくり分かりやすい英語で教えてくださいました。お風呂は、トイレにシャワーが付いている感じなので最初は、かなり戸惑いました。。が3日もしたら慣れました‪‪☺︎‬お部屋でゆっくり𖠚ᐝと思ってらっしゃる方には、おすすめではないですが、寝に帰るだけの旅には、もってこいのホステルでした。宿泊客は、たまたまか全組、日本人でした！皆さんと食堂でコミュニケーションを取りながら楽しく過ごせました。昔のペンションのような感じです◎
