Staff was really kind and helpful. Sadly bed war so hard it was painful sleeping so i slept on my jacken and the edge of my blanket. The pillow was so uncomfortable, plastic surface underneath so i slept on my hoodie. The room and bathroom had many damages and so on. Only for sleeping it was still okay

離地鐵站很近，對面就是便利商店，非常方便，房間設備該有的都有，浴室空間也很大，老闆也很親切，會簡單英文，唯一一個缺點就是沒有電梯，不過行李不重的話搬3樓還蠻ok的，下次會再入住

You get what you pay for: and that is totally fine

Rooms are cheap, clean but very small. The bed is hard as nails though. But you get a fridge and a good aircon. the batheoom is small but it's clean and it's yours. Staff is friendly but speaks hardly any English. Wifi is free, breakfast very minimal (but there's a bakery around the corner).

There was a big cockroach in our bathroom and scared me really bad. After that, I couldn't sleep​. Not only that, the bedsheet don't look clean and there are a lot of stains on the wall. I would not recommend this hotel if you're scare of bugs!!

旅館的地點很方便，在東大入口站和東大門歷史及文化公園站中間，旅館的樓下附近也有很多餐廳。旅館裡的職員也很友善，韓國大媽人很好，但好像只會韓文。 不足的地方是住了四個晚上都沒做房間清潔，跟他們講了還是忘了清，最後只有其中一晚來房間清一下垃圾和換毛巾而已。 但一個人來住的話還可以接受，而且價格便宜，地點方便。

冬天舒適(暖氣足、熱水足)的房間，但與預期有落差之房間

當時是冬天時入住。 入住時看房時才發現跟原本預定的塌塌米房型不同，因為想說行程上都有安排好，選擇的旅館應該不需要有中文的服務也可以，但服務人員英文能力也沒很高所以用了一段時間才搞清楚跟預定的房型不同，但最終服務人員以已無此房型告知，都已經到異鄉了總不能因為預訂不同就不要，服務人員也是說有床的有電熱毯會比較舒適，所以我們可以接受，但是當初是因為知道房型小所以希望早上起床收起床墊可以有大一點空間才選擇，到退房那天發現隔壁間是塌塌米的房型，有電暖器跟地熱所以如果真的能夠選擇還是希望是原本預定地塌塌米房型。在房間舒適度上算是很高，因為冬天很冷一回到房間開電暖器就會非常溫暖，熱水也不會不夠，電燈壞掉告知後有立即過來維修。有冰箱、電視都很方便。 但是洗衣服務卻讓我非常失望，一個禮拜的旅程為了減輕行囊的負擔，決定找可以洗衣的旅館，但到旅館才發現洗衣服務是早上9點到晚上8點，完完全全卡到我們預計的行程，最終以手洗的方式解決衣物，行程回來已經很累還要手洗真的覺得非常不悅，覺得網頁上應先行告知，旅館樓上可供曬衣，如果怕沒乾可放置一些至房間開暖氣時也可順便烘乾！ 早餐的服務覺得不錯，可以吃飽出門就可以省下一餐的時間，畢竟旅程短，時間能把握就盡量把握！離地鐵站也不會說太遠，如果行李太重可以選擇找電梯搭，不然樓梯真的太長，一開始不知道爬上來真的超累！ 希望這次的經驗心得可以幫助到正在選擇的旅客，大家可以評估過後選擇也是增加自己旅途的便利！

centraal gelegen

Het hotel ligt centraal, zeer dicht bij een metro opstap plaats, Het is een prettige buurt, veilig en rustig. Veel eet gelegenheden rondom het hotel. Supermarktjes en shoppings malls. Het is een kleinschalig hotel, voelt aan als een familie hotel. Er is een kleine keuken waar je als gast gebruik kunt maken van een wasmachine en dat is erg prettig gezien het warme klimaat. Alleen het matras van het bed was erg hard, na 12 dagen slapen was dat niet prettig meer.

호텔에 3일동안 머물렀습니다. 동대문역사문화공원역이랑 동대입구역 사이에 있어서 위치는 좋았던 것 같아요. 길 건너편에는 족발 맛집들이 즐비해서 맛있게 먹었습니다. 침대보는 말씀을 안드려서 그런지 갈아주시지는 않았습니다. 샴푸, 바디워시 등은 없습니다. 저렴한 가격에 좋은 위치의 숙소입니다.

혼자서도 숙박하기 좋은곳 같습니다. 서비스 굿굿.

전체적으로 좋았습니다. 아침을 빵이 구비되어있어서 그걸로 떼우고 방에 돌아와 티비를 보며 푸욱 쉬고 돌아다니고 그랬습니다. 바로 앞에는 쭈꾸미 집도 있었는데 맛있었습니다. 주변에는 먹거리가 정말 많아서 다는 못 먹고 돌아왔구요..ㅠㅠ 가격대비 괜찮았습니다. 서비스는 물론 주인 아주머니 , 이모님 다 좋으셨고 수건도 달라는대로 주며 비누도 줬습니다. 샴푸는 가져가야되고 치약은 구비되어있습니다. 드라이어기도 구비되어있었는데 전 없는줄 알고 가져갔다가 짐만 됬다는... 어머니와 함께 출장 겸 여행을 4박 5일로 갔다왔는데 정말이지 위치며 다 좋았습니다. 다만 방안에 들어가보면 냄새가 나는데 그 냄새가 무슨 락스냄새와 똥냄새 섞어놓은듯한 냄새가 4박 5일 내내 나서 머리가 어지러울 지경이었습니다. 이것만 아니면 완벽했는데 말이죠. 여튼 여기가보시면 외국인들도 같이 있구 여러나라 사람들을 만날수있습니다 . 처음에 신기했는데 자주 보다보니 그럭저럭 신기함도 없어지더군요. 여자 혼자 여행을 서울로 올라왔을경우에도 괜찮은것 같습니다. 옆이 동국대며 그앞에 파출소가 있으며 신라호텔 등 사람들이 많은 지역이라 범죄 이런거에 연류는 별로 안될거 같더군요. 그래서 전 혼자서도 잘만 다녔습니다 ㅎ 어머니께서는 일나가셔서 집에 없으셨구요 ㅎㅎ 여튼 서울에 가면 여기로 계속 예약하며 지낼 생각입니다. 좋습니다 냄새만 빼면 ㅎㅎ
