I stayed in a dormitory, but it was capsule style so it felt like a private room and the inside of the capsule, shower and toilet were clean and very nice. However, it didn't seem like the staff were coming in frequently to clean it, so maybe it was because of the guests.The outlets are Korean type, but the front desk will lend you an adapter. (Deposit 1000w)The outlet is located a little high, so people with heavy chargers might get stuck.It says you can take a shower until 10pm or 11pm, but if you just want to take a quick shower, don't worry.If you have a moderate commuter backpack, you can put it in a locker with a key, but there are no other lockers with a key, so it's a good idea to have a key ready or bring a key to lock your backpack.Only one towel is provided, so women and others will need to prepare something similar to a bath towel.It's surrounded by East Mausoleum, so it feels a little envious.---I stayed in the dormitory again for 3 consecutive nights in October 24th.First of all, towels are not changed even if you stay for multiple nights.Also, there are no bars to hang towels or hangers inside or outside the capsule, so if you're staying for multiple nights, you may have trouble finding towels.Also, there are no hangers, so I think you'll have trouble deciding where to put your down jacket in the winter.Since the capsule is manufactured, it is almost impossible to hang clothes on the bed frame.There is no electricity in the washbasin room, so if you arrive late at night or leave early in the morning, you should assume that you will not be able to use the bright washstand. (I don't turn on the lights in the room at night.)What surprised me this time was that the locker key I was given could open any locker.Although the lock is delicate to begin with, you must not store valuables in this locker.

The streets are dark and scary at night, but just a few minutes walk from the bus there is a huge N sign that lights up in white.There is a convenience store on the right and left side of the hotel, which is also very good 🙆‍♀️The reception staff who are available 24 hours a day are very helpful, the linens are clean, and the outlets are multi-outlet and type C.As long as you have a Japanese A type or Korean SE type outlet, you will be fine✨️Since it's attached to the top, it's difficult to use with heavy outlets or short cords.WiFi is very strong 💪There are lockers with individual keys, so you can feel safe and secure!You can use the microwave, boiling water, and cold water at any time!There was no refrigerator or freezer!The light at hand feels like a very bright naked light bulb.I covered it with a convenience store bag or paper, being careful of the heat.It would be a great help if you could improve this.There were signs everywhere about etiquette, such as asking people to be quiet after 10pm in the common areas, so I felt safe living in a dormitory with multiple people😌I have one request!There is a sign asking people to refrain from using the hair dryer after 10pm, but I wish they would add a request to clean up the hair after using the hair dryer so that everyone can use it comfortably💦Even though the staff cleaned the bathroom in the morning, there was always a lot of hair scattered around the sink, which made me feel very uncomfortable.It's not the hotel's fault, but it's a super cheap dormitory, so they have to put up a sign for each one, but everyone seemed to be following the instructions written on the sign, and the only thing that bothered me was the hair issue. 🥹It was the best hotel! I would like to use it again and recommend it to everyone 🍀*゜

On 9oct2024 , I checked in and this is suppose to be a hotel with a non smoking room but was given room with lingering cigarette smoke smell. Since we have a kid it is not safe to stay and hotel was unable to provide different room as was fully booked. Requested a refund but hotel staff proposed only 50% refund. Not recommended for those with family and health issues.

Stayed in the private dorm that has a private bathroom, AC and a mattress on the floorIt was overall a great experience. The staff, Kim, let me check in three hours early for which I am very grateful since usually in Korea, hotels are just so strict with check in times. They also provide free water (hot/cold) every second floorThe room itself is small but comfortable. You will need to climb up stairs to get into your bed and be very very careful while climbing. You will also need to watch your head each time you stand up. I hit my head too many times.For the price I paid, it was a good experience. Hot shower and all those facilities. It is about 7 minutes walk to the Dongmyo station so easily accessible to any places you want.The key card they give you allow you to access the hotel 24/7

I used it in a dormitory.The building itself is very beautiful.The rooms are separated by curtains, so you can have a secure private space, but since the curtains are rolls, you can still hear the voices of the people next door.They will lend you one towel.The shower room was also clean.
